I still use my BackPacker Boulder from the 1980s, just cant seem to find anything better…. Personally I love the straps and pockets!
I was looking for a pack for my nephew and found these… Looks like someone is making an exact replica of the 75L Boulder!! I have not been into look at it but it looks the same - even the fabric looks the same!
Personally, I don’t care what “brand” the backpack is as long as it fit like a glove, nice and comfortable. I bought a backpack in Austria, never heard of that name. I just fit it in the shop and ask a mate to hang on it. If you shake it while it’s on your back and it shake around, it’s going to eat you up. It should stay on your back like it’s part of you. That means that the straps must fit you well.
Strange enough, Backpacker tend to fit me well.I also love the Karrimor packpacks, they designed it to fit well. You can get to most of the storage packs without taking the backpack off.
If you give a review on a backpack, one should also say what’s your size and build. That will help the next person so much more.
