The material is very high quality when I carry that the first time, I thought it's going to break down at some point because it's too light, I didn't trust the material but in fact it's not it's very light but it's rigid and have a lot of space and pockets everywhere and the cool thing how organized it is and how you can access anywhere in the bag easily, beside a lot of features and extras on it Love it.l!!
Being able to zip open the bag and have everything organized has been super nice for backpacking. It's nice being able to grab one item out of my bag without having to take everything out like I do with my other top-loading bags. The bag is super light and comfortable. The hip straps are super comfortable and supportive which makes my packed bag feel extra light. Highly recommend this bag to everyone whether you're just getting into backpacking or are a more experienced backpacker.
The Dean 60L backpack has quickly become my go-to pack for outdoor adventures, and what stands out the most is how well it balances organization and simplicity. If you’re tired of disorganized packs where everything just gets jumbled together, the Dean 60L is the answer. It’s the perfect mix of lightweight design, durability, and thoughtful organization. Highly recommend for hikers and adventurers who value efficiency and comfort!
