Eastpak Pinnacle vs. Wolfskin Berkeley

I present here a direct comparison with the Wolfskin Berkeley I use for 3 years.

The shoulder strap when Pinnacle is substantially thicker and is provided on the inside with a rubber coating. In addition, it is longer,
so it does not rub on his shoulders when I have to haul heavy books as at Berkeley. Is mainly for large and broad-shouldered
People a relevant aspect. 1: 0 for Eastpak. Only the oval design of the seatbelt up in Berkeley was worth mentioning. I find better,
but a matter of taste. The back side is thicker and softer. 2: 0 for Eastpak. The Berkeley has a waist belt. 2: 1.

The large compartment is slightly deeper than the Eastpak at Berkeley. Since the three tomes Tipler / Vollhardt / Atkins fit (B 21cm / H 28cm / T 20cm) pure.
That's neat. By contrast, the Eastpak is wider and lets loose space for a liter bottle while the Berkeley without hardships, "only" a small permits.
2: 2 draw. In the second compartment Turnstone (Voet) with the other matches in the first. Then the packed. But stuff trifles in cavities goes.

In the third compartment is space for small items plus pen pocket, etc. These keychains history is a marketing gimmick and will probably
regularly used by anyone. Nevertheless can the Eastpak the removal of the key holder as a whole. For safety, it does not contribute.
The total breakdown when Pinnacle I find thoughtful, which is provided with a zipped compartment in particular. At Berkeley, it is only a velcro.
For the outer compartment is hidden at Berkeley; the Eastpak has just this mesh of the net in which everyone can see everything. 3:. 3

Waterproof of Berkeley is not, rather slightly water-repellent. The material of the Pinnacle but thicker. The soil is not reinforced at both.
The Berkeley has side loops for contraction when the backpack is only partially filled; which is an advantage.
Not to mention even the side mesh loop for an umbrella or water bottle. 4: 3 for the Berkeley.

The zipper provides a high quality of both. But since Eastpak's 30 year warranty for defects in materials / processing, 4: 4 again tie.
The handle at the Eastpak is to raise wider and more comfortable for me.

It remains to be seen whether the Eastpak just as long as holding the Wolfskin. By design, the Berkeley me like it better because more slender, but the East Pack
can be worn more comfortable. From the price of Pinnacle appears (see above) a bit overpriced. In EIA I would clearly draw Zumm Berkeley, at about the same
Price for Eastpak, especially since you never completely stuffs as a backpack. The material of the Pinnacle seems to be more durable to my mind.

Who here what his children looking for schools can confidently strike if the price is right. 45 maximum I would not spend more.
