Review on πŸŽ’ Optimized Fox Outdoor Products Australian Rucksack by Laura Mason

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Advantages: - large - no main compartment.

I bought this backpack for college after my last one broke the zipper on the main compartment. I have three small pockets with tools and the main pocket is used for a laptop, books etc. This backpack has been going strong for about a year now. - I haven't had to replace it yet - When all the small pockets are filled, you can put two 15" laptop sized items and weekend clothes inside, and then fold the top flap and side pockets towards the small back pocket and it will fit just right into a 5 gallon pail without crushing it or with a lot of force (the pail can be carried in the bed of a pickup truck or in the milk crate on the back of a motorcycle regardless). from the weather). :- The straps and clips holding the top flap and closed side pockets are not adjustable enough. an issue, but if you're carrying a backpack and need to do anything other than stand upright, you could get hit. on the back of the head for what is in the top flap pocket. The small handle is too small to easily lift the backpack when it is full of things heavier than clothes. I don't usually hang it up by the handle when it's full because I don't trust it won't snap. Ugly: - If you wear a square-edged metal tray for 10 months and the bill wears through the bottom of the backpack, often stuffing 40+lbs in it and rocking it on your back or on your back, the strap you select will tear it up with. - The lace is frayed where it goes through the eyelets, I replaced it with a clothesline and everything has been fine ever since. I would buy this backpack again. If you don't carry around tools or car parts, fill them to the brim with old hard drives, or dive into trash cans with this one strapped on, then you probably won't have the wear and tear problems I've had.
