Bought on a whim instore heading off on multiday Nelson lakes adventure - an upgrade to my old canvas pack. Performed well and still looks unused. Front pockets on hip belt are awesome for small snacks and camera.

Strap broke while tramping
One of the shoulder straps broke in the middle of a multi day tramp. For the money you pay for this, it is completely unexpected. Look elsewhere.

I brought this pack for a multi day hike. I was very disappointed with the pack. It was very uncomfortable. The straps are hard and offer no cushioning. I ended up having a bruised lower back after two days, I used a thick woolen vest for padding for the following 3 days. This solved the problem.

Love how the lid turns into its own back pack. Great support.

Excellent pack for the Overland Track
I recently purchased this pack after staff recommended it to me for the Overland Track in Tasmania. All I can say is: "It was great!". The pack was both comfortable and durable and still looks brand new despite the harsh conditions on the hike. (Hiked - Nov 2019)

Expected better
I bought this pack on line at a sale price so I was happy with the price but I have had problems with pack specially over multi day hikes. There are certain aspects of the pack which are good but other aspects which I’m not happy about. It can’t handle a heavy load in that it squeaks as you move which I think is the material rubbing on the support strips and which is really annoying. The shoulder adjustment straps continually slip and as a another reviewer said your shoulders begin to hurt at the end of the day. You also have to keep a eye on the the side pockets because if you don’t have your items secured properly in the Pocket and the strap properly positioned things will pop out specially when you take the pack off or put it on. Ultimately I’m disappointed with it and looking to sell it.

Nice Backpack !
Very useful, comfortable, and can become very compact when the little bag became stacked behind the big one ! Thanks for efficiency from Kim, Lucy & Ying, from the Melbourne Emporium Store !

I have a Vardo Gridtech v1. First time used, having owned for some years. Where is the outlet from within the pack to the outside for the Hydrapak delivery tube Any other tips for storing things etc with the many straps etc Thank You
The older v1 model does not have outlet hole for the hydration bladder hose. The v1 model has a hook and elastic pocket inside the pack which is compatible with a 2l bladder.

Is there a sleeping bag compartment?
There is no separate compartment for a sleeping bag but a sleeping bag will comfortably fit inside the main compartment of this pack

What is the safe weight capacity of these packs please? Are they strong enough for 4-5 days food / tent / water etc.? maybe 20kg
We don't measure the weight capacity of our packs. We recommend purchasing a pack on volume size that will suit your needs. This pack is made of gridTECH material, which is more durable and designed for hiking.

Can this fit the 3L hydration bladder?
No, this is compatible with a 2L hydration bladder not a 3L size.
Date published: 2021-03-29
How water resistant is the pack?
The main & secondary fabric used has a water repellent film applied to it which is up to 10k, however the overall bag is not seam sealed so water can still get inside. As such we do recommend either a bag liner, or a pack cover if you are expecting it to be wet.

This pack isn't designed to fit a small day-pack on the front.
