Only upon receipt I found that a good piece of China is coming! The rustic design I like very much, as well as the color. The workmanship and materials are surprisingly solid. The backpack is ideal for everyday use and is loaded from me mercilessly with purchases and books, A (hiking) vacation should not be a problem, there are lots of interior and side pockets, the back part and the well-padded straps wear very comfortable. As a little incentive, the backpack was still wrapped in a very practical fiber pocket for the lighter purchases or so. If you do not mind as accomplished woman at the silly name "Men's backpack," you can not go with this backpack for the competitive price actually wrong.
