Review on πŸŽ’ Gonex Waterproof Trekking Backpack - includes waterproof feature by Steve Jones

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great value if you are not petite

Overall build quality seems good for the price. Cons: If you're a person with a small physique like me, it won't suit you. The straps are too wide for my shoulders. In this case, a female fit would be ideal. I miss strong zippers that are easy to find, like on my Osprey backpack. And while the hipbelt pocket is a great idea, it's not big enough for anything other than a tube. Lip balm or a pair of headphones (maybe an old-school clamshell phone, but not even a tiny iPhone). Pros: I love the color! The reflective edge is great. The external pockets work well for my water bottle and coffee thermos, and the side-adjustable shoulder straps are great for bottle stabilization and/or compression. The center front elastic cords are great for attaching wet items like an umbrella or bathing suit and towel, and also snug up nicely when the bag is empty. The bag is surprisingly comfortable despite the poor fit. The goal is to feel soft on the go. There is no safety whistle on the chest strap, so you must carry one if it is important to you. Capability.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Protection
