The backpack seems durable, solid and well made. Chic design, like even fourth graders, great blue. The back padding, wide thick padded straps, the chest and (if necessary detachable) hip belt can be adjusted to the child perfectly. The small school candidates (116cm, slim stature) found him easily, even with open straps slipped the backpack in the race not from the shoulders. Even the big brother he still fits well, so it is suitable for the whole primary school. The little one comes along well with the closures, but they are nothing for urgent Grobmotoriker. Shortcoming is the circumferential zipper: perhaps our copy is only slightly bent and would bulge over time, at least it's a little tedious, front to move around the bend to completely close it. The backpack is firm (open and closed), as long as care is taken not to put him to the numerous dangling straps and buckles. Booklets and books can be stowed Eselsohr free; the volume is large enough for the basic school supplies (DIN A4 booklets, books, pencil cases, pencil cases). But also a big folder would fit, then only one of the two outside pockets are filled. In the side pockets comfortable Sigg bottles fit into it (larger bottles even if you let the Velcro open), in the front pocket, you can pack a lunchbox. Beautifully also the bright lining that makes it easier to find in the depths of his pocket his stuff. The backpack has several small compartments and pockets that are a matter of taste. I have this to many of the small part of the more Fan Fan and wrinkles, the more difficult the interior must be kept clean, and what is there for guys everything accumulates in there! This brings me to the cleaning: on the maintenance list is wiped off with a damp cloth. Well, there should be mothers, put the the Scout satchel in the dishwasher, for separates this model then probably from ;-) If a school backpack to survive four years handsome, yet you have him at least properly wash inside and out and soak allowed. Unfortunately, I found no information about the water tightness. The material is so thick that it probably can hold a normal rain during a 15-minute way to school, but that would have to show the practice. Whether the soil tightly holding, if you put the backpack into wet ?! Keep it out of the buckle when a child stepped on inadvertently? As long as the outer fabric remains presentable? If the reflecting surfaces by keeping will eventually brittle without? Brings me to the biggest drawback: security. With surfaces in light colors this backpack and therefore the first year in the twilight would be much better to see, and as the pocket plays eh blue-orange color combination, this would also be aesthetically acceptable. As a backpack outdoor brand, the model is supposed to be worn by children who actually run by road transport, bicycle or scooters and will not be chauffeured by car. And then there's the accessories: the pouch is small, light, soft and: not suitable for school. It has a transparent pocket and pen loops 12, but no place for eraser, pencil sharpener, ruler and ink cartridges. The gym bag can click on the backpack when loosening the buckles of the compression straps. Far too fiddly for urgent children. The belt is so short that you also can not wear comfortably over the shoulder bag. Too bad, because Jack Wolfskin'd rather have completely dispensed with the accessory (or offered it for sale separately) and for the backpack offered correspondingly cheaper. Conclusion: a nice backpack in sufficient size and ergonomically well but it is still without experience and test reports, thus only for risk-tolerant parents.
