GENERAL:
For me, this backpack is a very good all-rounder and is used by me not only for bike tours, but also in everyday life.
In the backpack fits of width a record (in case) and it is nice and flat on his back, causing the hump effect is prevented. It ends with me (170cm) just above the buttocks. I have the 20L variant.

PRO:
+ The zippers are made of a super quality (YKK) - I had on a backpack never better.
+ There are at key points compression straps, who know how to convince especially in the two drinking vessel bags through an elaborate system (you can the belt on or behind the bottle from pulling).
+ There is at the left shoulder (from the point of view, if you put him - so good for right to use), a small pocket in which you can store his cell phone with a zipper. It fit the width into a Iphone3 and it could even fit a bit wider smartphone.
+ Right on this bag is also the receiving click system for the chest strap, which is arritiert very firmly by the short end of the left strap and thus for example is easier to close while riding on a bicycle with one hand, as if both Brustgurtschließmechanismen loose would hang.
+ The open pocket at the front exterior of the bag serves as additional compression and can continue to be used for the transport of a helmet. I use it also like to transport a wet bathing suit, for which purpose also the inboard-mounted rear compartment, which is actually intended for a Camelbag, can be misused.
+ Camelbagsystem (It can work with this backpack, be used by corresponding openings and brackets, a drinks bladder). I have not tried it yet, but probably The hydration bladder is placed in the inner, upwardly open and tensioned by an elastic bag while the drinking tube is guided through a small, centrally located opening above the handle down. In the non-padded bag, in which you would insert the bladder, fits a 13 inch notebook, which is then, of course, but only from the gesichtert Gummizugsystem before slipping out.
+ What are the backpack back a stabilization in the form of an easily bendable plate (presumably plastic?), So it does not collapse when he stands upright in itself. This plate can be removed via a Velcro system in the backpack interior. It also adapts to the time the back and increases the wearing comfort.
+ Outside, at the bottom of the pack, there is a reflector, which is also a tab for a clip-taillight available. (The light would then cover the reflector).
+ There is a stable hip belt, the additional support and stability for example at wilder cycling guarantees and takes on a heavy shopping load from the back and distributed to the hips. Each is an additional reflector to Hüftgurtlaschen.
+ In the base compartment, which can be opened from the outside, can be used for example for machine tools, or a first-aid kit, there are three small upwardly open pockets, and a closable with zipper net where about two remote place find (I transport there is no remote controls - that is just there to be the size can imagine :))
+ Facing the back is last but not least a tiny zipper opening, in which a red Regencap is, with the backpack is being protected from heavy rain. (Possibly also a good secret compartment for money / securities).

CONTRA:
- The back padding, although have the spine along a ventilation duct and horizontally again two breaks, but this does not seem to hold at 25 degrees and a half-hour faster driven tour of having a sweaty back. Compared to another pack of another brand that does not have this system, but noted that an effect of the ventilation system can not be denied. However, this is not an optimum solution for the reviewed here backpack for my taste. (The only optimal solution can probably only be a power that pushes the pack several centimeters from the back)
- In the top externally accessible zippered pocket I would have liked for there befindenen, open at the top, two mesh pockets and a zipper desired as in the network in the bottom compartment.
----
CONCLUSION:
I would buy a backpack at any time because he has just met my expectations and I will accept the inevitability of sweating on the back and dodge the future on a T-shirt exchange system :)

SUPPLEMENTS: (as of 15.01.2014)
- After a hot summer day and after the sun was shining for about 5 hours directly to the backpack, my rubber is torn from the thread with which you pull on the zippers. Since the adhesive is somehow melted. But I am writing this at no material errors, after all, this was a very extreme action that I have since exposed to the material.
