I can’t give any feedback on durability, as we returned it because the chest strap/buckle was uncomfortably tight, even at the loosest setting. It otherwise looked like a nice pack, and the solar charger was a plus. It might fit someone else fine, so good that Amazon has free returns so folks can try it out.

It is nice. I would not take it on a trip over three days. And I would not want to go wilderness camping with it, or heavy hiking. However it is a very nice unit for non extended trips.Pros:Lots of useful compression straps.Light to moderately padded shoulder straps.Light to moderately padded hit strap.Mesh on back to add to coolness.Chest strap on front to increases shoulder straps comfort.Pockets on waist strap that could hold keys, mace etc.Has a solar panel, no worries about your cell.Solar panel can be removed and rolled.Color is nice three tones of black and gray.Cons:Zippers seem kind of jank. They don’t seem to want to zip very easy. If you take your time I believe it will be fine.Whistle on the front is weak. No one would hear it in a emergency.Water bladder is in the main compartment???? Ummm, how many pointy things do we use in camping? Not good design.The lower zipper compartment does not open the main compartment. Top is the only way in the backpack. Not being able to get into the bottom without going through the top is annoying.Back feel very cardboard’y.With these in mind it might be the bag for you, or it might not. Hope this helps. Thx

I was drawn to this pack because of the solar charger. I do alot of metal detecting in search of gold, which often leads me into dark mineshafts and canyons well away from civilization. Usually by myself. Hence I do alot of hiking and rely on lights and other safety equipment to stay alive. (GPS, cellphones, ECT.) This is definitely not the most comfortable or durable pack I have, but for one or two night trips that dont Involve more than a few mile hike In, this pack works great. I can charge my lights, detector, battery banks, and other equipment while hiking or kicking back and never have to worry about getting caught in the dark or losing a way to contact help in an emergency. What the pack lacks in comfort, gets made up in the solar charger and price

I found it to be a pretty good backpack. I like the external frame. It seems to be pretty comfortable although I didn’t have much in it yet. This is my first backpack with any kind of frame. I wish I would have tried to so much sooner.

It is not a backpack with a solar panel integrated.It is a simple backpack sold with a pretty good separate foldable solar panel. – light weight and, for this reason, good for trekking.There are not dedicated retention hooks for the solar panel. It can be attached to the backpack handle, for example, but there is not dedicated loops.Solar panel regulator handle only 5volts on USB port. No Quick Charge protocols,Max 2Amps each USB port {=10watts each USB port). Two ports means a total of 20watts.
