What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: 60 litres is stated alongside dimensions of 30D x 45W x 15H centimetres, and a 60 kg carrying claim sits alongside plate options described as 5 kg-25 kg. The selected colour/configuration reads “Black Backpack + 25 Kg”, but the feature text says plates are optional and available in different sizes. Confirm the capacity, dimensions and whether a plate is included for the selected listing before buying. The stated 5 kg weight is also worth confirming for the selected configuration.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Ruck training, hiking or strength workouts where a backpack-style load carrier and storage are useful.
- Buyers who want space described for a hydration pack, laptop or additional training weights.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need a lightweight pack or an unambiguous included-plate configuration.
- Anyone relying on a precise maximum load or storage capacity without confirming the conflicting listing details.

Customer feedback highlights positive impressions of construction and comfort, including a report of no pronounced lat soreness. Storage experiences are mixed: some customers describe ample room, while one says the plate pocket comfortably holds only two vest plates. Weight capacity feedback is also mixed. These reports matter if you plan to carry both supplies and plates, and do not resolve the listing’s unclear capacity and package details.
Positive themes
- Customers describe the backpack as well-constructed and comfortable.
Mixed feedback
- Storage is described as roomy by some, but one customer says the plate pocket comfortably holds only two vest plates.
- Feedback about the weight capacity is mixed.
