This backpack was due to the great reviews on the short list and is now for 5 weeks now traveled across the country in continuous use in New Zealand. In the national park, at the 90 Mile Beach and in what felt like 10,000 hostels he has every packing and unpacking super survived. Zippers are extremely stress resistant and a strong shower has yet to cause any damage. A great backpack for all backpackers, super easy adjustable, it adapts perfectly to each (also a proud 1.95 m height). Pay him the remaining 51 weeks test ;-) I can only recommend.
