What bothers me are the shoulder straps which are very far apart. That's not a nice feel and on bare skin is the fabric a little kratzig.Man can the straps but contract but then you have a black belt over his chest So high-quality processing is not if you take considering the price. A kickboard from Arena about 40 cm is just so pure in the backpack (major). In the front pocket easily fit Pullbuoy 1, 1 towel normal, 1 large towel, 1 swimming goggles, 1 wallet. So packed you can still tuck bicycle locks in the main compartment and the bottom compartment the slippers. The small compartment on top is ideal for key because it is the fastest achievable. On the side it would have done even a mesh pocket and on the other side for a right bag to close with Velcro or something. The tray on top of it with the zipper in my opinion is the wrong way round. One thinks everything falls out when you open it (looks but just like everything remains indoors). For the price you could probably. can realize a ventilation system so that the back does not perspire. This would simultaneously protected against potential chewing and pressure by edged objects inside the backpack. I also have a Bike & Hike Backpack by Jack Wolfskin, the comfort is at its best (should be no advertising) and was not expensive as this one. Unfortunately, it is smaller and it suits no swimming board, etc. clean. Nevertheless, a good backpack is worth a try. He might just be a bit cheaper.
