Review on πŸŽ’ High-Performance PETZL Portage Pack: Vibrant Yellow Black Design by Michael Herrera

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not for climbing, ideal for cycling

Four stars said "I love it", so 4 stars. I bought a backpack for climbing. It is NOT designed for that. Dragging is difficult due to the off-center clipping point. The package hangs crooked and gets stuck under the smallest peculiarities. So for climbing - 0 stars. As it does not absorb sweat and has no strap, it is not suitable as a backpack for any excursions - 0 stars. The backpack is waterproof and very well made. After seven pitches and getting stuck several times, it has no cracks or scratches and still looks brand new. So if you need a waterproof backpack, this item is a great candidate. It is not submersible! It is perfectly safe to wear in any water draining from a wearer. Best general use I see is cycling - 5 stars. Very high quality and lasts forever. Side and top handles make it easy to carry after or on a bike ride. Bottom line: don't buy for hiking/climbing, a great buy for cycling and other very specific uses where protection from running water is important.
