Review on πŸŽ’ DURATON Lightweight Backpack for Resilient Backpacking by Rachel Lopez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is a great backpack for twice the price and $60.

I bought this backpack a month or two ago. I wanted to test it before testing it to confirm its durability and field use. This is a great backpack at twice the price and at less than $100 an absolute steal. Let's start with a downside - there's a ton of straps, buckles, and features that come with it, and without some backpacking familiarity it can be a little overwhelming. I gave it to my wife to see and review and she was a bit confused at first. She quickly sorted everything out because this is a backpack, not an assembly of furniture, but there is something to take away. There are many pros out there, but here are some of them: 1) Paracord emergency bracelet should cost a few bucks, and they throw it away. free 2) It is compatible with hydration systems, so you can buy the hydration bladder of your choice and pack it in the backpack. This saved me probably $40 on co-pays from other manufacturers, 3) multiple hotspots and a rain cover for easier access and weather protection, and 4) durable backpack construction at this price point. It's fairly light, but the construction is solid. I suspect if you don't spend a lot of money on marketing you can pass the savings on to the end customer. Eventually I just went overseas and used this backpack as carry-on luggage. I had it full but not stuffed, and I had no trouble installing it on top or meeting the sizing requirements. I was very happy with the backpack's performance as I roamed the city and it held up well when I loaded it with a ton of weight to carry a few bottles of wine from the shop back to my hotel. That's a lot of weight stuff and shoulder straps.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No form required
