Berghaus Freeflow Outdoor Backpack, 30 Litres

Impressive summer day sack. Perfect size for carrying the essentials for a long summer day in the hills. Well thought out design with separate compartments for maps, keys, other navigation aids (e.g. GPS and compass) still leaving enough space for extra clothing, waterproof, food and camera.

I bought one of the first Freeflow rucsacs many years ago. The only problem i had with it was that at 20l it was a bit small. When I needed a new one I looked for a larger model and found this on Amazon after being unsuccessful at my local outdoor stores. The 30l size meets my needs for a daypack and I particularly like the back vent which keeps me cool on hot days and the in-built rain hood. The price was reasonable too. I'm not sure how long this range will remain available as Berghaus seem to be promoting other ranges that look to me to be either poorer quality or more expensive. I've delayed writing a review to ensure there were no problems with durability and I'm pleased to say it has lasted well. Get one while you can!!

Absolutely brilliant. Light to carry - hardly know it's there on your back. Plenty of pockets. The rain cover can be taken out/put back easily. Coped very well in heavy rain.

Unable to comment on durability as only just got it. However, previous Berghaus backpack had for many years and is still going strong. Excellent fit when wearing, comfortable. Wanted a backpack for everyday, but good if running or cycling which is why it was important that it had rain over and padded waist, but also needed separate compartments. Great product.

Well made, excellent fit, comfortable and light weight. Included rain cover a bonus. Easy access waist pocket and remarkably spacious for its size.

When comparing to more standard 30L Berghaus bags it's got a great system to keep bag away from one's back. However, as the bag's primary purpose is to carry stuff much less impressed as the curved back means it's not so easy to place larger items in and then gain access to bottom of bag, sent bag back as prefer the space inside the bag to be less restrictive over what can be easily placed in it and easily accessed.

Well made and comfortable. The only thing I think it’s missing is a strap/straps on the outside (to attach/hold a coat for example). I’m very happy with it though.

First proper outing yesterday and it coped brilliantly. Went mountain biking and hardly even noticed I was wearing it. Plenty of room, and I wasn't even being particularly efficient with my packing. Loads of adjustment to the straps to get the weight comfy on your back. Rain cover worked well too. The black fabric seemed to have a small level of weatherproofing, as the rain was beading on it, but the pull out cover did an excellent job once the rain came down harder. Can't wait for my next outing with it!

Sac de randonnée léger prévu pour une journée (capacité de 30 l). La transpiration dans le dos est bien minimisée par sa conception. Les 2 pochettes latérales permettent d'avoir un accès rapide et facile. Le filet dans le dos et les attaches bâtons sont un plus. Bon maintien lors des déplacements. Je le recommande sans hésiter

(メッシュ地も無いので)背面が完璧に浮いていて、通気性抜群でザックの剛性も高いので、振れも少く背負いやすいです背面が湾曲しているので中が狭くなってますが、日帰りには十分な容量があるので、日帰りのメインザックとして使っていきます
