Bad review of a great backpack.. - 04/07/24 01:02 PM

I never thought I'd see a poor review by Luke at Outdoor Gear Review.
This is it:

Though unlike me, who was left totally confused by the constant references to; "for the price", you have me to do the background checking and all the reviews agree, it's a terrific pack at any price.
Not; 'only if you don't have a litte more to spend'.

Apart from that it's his normal thorough good sense.

I ordered the 50 litre version on Friday and it arrived this morning (Sunday).
BY FAR the most comfortable pack I've ever used!
Don't understand his minor criticisms. The inside of the straps felt smooth to me and a belt on a pack can't be too stiff.
Like all the reviewers, I worry over the pack length zip, but they've failed on no one and the pack comes with a 10 year warranty. And the zip really makes packing a dream.
Packs have come a long way since I last bought one. This is his idea of not light? If that little means so much to you, eat a few less calories.

Best of all; leaving the most remarkable feature to last:
This costs £59.99.

Are other packmakers taking us for a ride?

Interesting. I'll watch the review but I've never found any of his other videos to be useful.

I usually like Lukes videos but with the Fjällräven windsack he really messed up and tried to make it something it isn´t.

Either he did not understand the consept and the very narrow and specific use a windsack is intended for or the Fjällräven marketed it wrong in USA.
