Mountain WarehousePace 30L Rucksack - Hydration Compatible Backpack, Airflow Back System Rucksack, Packaway Rain Cover - For Travelling, Camping, Hiking

Really pleased with this rucksack. Been toying with the idea of buying one to replace my Technicals Slipstream 25 litre rucksack which is good, just not AS comfortable plus, the Pace is a front loader rather than a top loader which I prefer. Even thought its a 30ltr pack, it's not big as in, not a big pack but still has great capacity. I knew they were comfy after trying them in store so final took the plunge. Just need to sell the as new Technical rucky now. I also have the Pace 20 for when I'm out on my MTB and that's is also a great rucky.

As other reviewers have noted, this isn't really a 30 litre day sack as the frame (which is excellent BTW) imposes on the main compartment; it would be further compromised if you were to carry two litres of water in the pouch compartment. The combination of the frame and the padded waist belt make this a very comfortable sack, you almost don't notice it. The compartment at the bottom is useful. I carried a waterproof jacket and trousers, some maps, a first aid kit and food. I didn't use my platypus but used the useful stretch pockets to carry water in bottles.

Perfect bag for our walks, needed something that fit a bladder pack in and still room to fit stuff it on which it does. It's lightweight and super comfy. Lots of pockets to put things in and with the air back no sweaty backs which will be great in the summer. Love the colour too would totally recommend.

As most other reviews say - you lose a lot of space to the back structure, and I think the back would be uncomfortable depending on your build.That being said - it will do for job for short adventures (with some clever packing and some concessions), I liked the different compartments, it seems well made.

I'm very pleased with this rucksack, it has so many features for the price point.I'm using it for rucking (basically walking with weights in a rucksack) and it handling 15Kg very well.I also have put a water bladder in it which works well.

I love this rucksack. It's so comfy, it doesn't make my back sweaty and, I love the fact the waist belt is a little lower and over my hips; this balances the weight across my back so much better. Quality and a decent price.

The rucksack is well made and robust. I found the rain cover worked well, and the back system was very comfortable to wear. But, as everyone else has noted, the air back system seriously reduces the internal compartment space. It’s labelled as 30L but in practice behaves like a 20L bag. If you only want to carry your waterproofs and a couple of bottles of water you will be fine, but once you start to add extra layers, first aid kits, food, and other hillwalking essentials you are going to find it a struggle

Bought it for Glastonbury, we were camping offsite and needed to carry in wet gear gear, warm gear and importantly sufficient booze every day to keep us happy, worked well. Despite the load was comfortable to wear.
