Deuter ACT Trail 32 Backpack

I used it during the Everest Base Camp Trek in Nepal and now as a daily backpack to carry my laptop and training stuff :)

Very durable and organized.

Great compartments in the uper cover.

Very convenient to access your stuff through the zipper like taking stuff from the bottom without the need to empty your bag.

Very comfortable on the back.

I carried this backpack throughout Europe for one month last summer, with between 15-20 pounds of gear, and I do not believe I thought about it once. I wasn't tugging at shoulder straps, cinching and uncinching, bouncing it up and down, etc. I have worn a lot of packs, and for me there is no contest this is the best I've worn. It just seems to fit me like a glove. The features are surprising and robustly made. It is easy to open the bag up to access gear below or above without dismantling the whole thing. The bungees on the outside expand beautifully to accomodate a helmet or large jacket. There are two top pockets for small things. There is a hook for keys, so that they don't fall out when you are not paying attention. The rain cover is so convenient and unnoticeable when you are not using it, tucked away in a small pocket on the underside of the pack. The chest strap, can be moved up and down ingeniously, with just enough friction to hold it in place, but not enough to make moving it difficult. The side pockets don't accomodate much, and certainly not bulky items, and if you do have something larger than perhaps 6 Clif bars you should load it in the side pockets first. In short, I love this pack!

I sooo wanted to give this 5 stars. Deuter's reputation is excellent and the bag appeared to be no exception but, for me, there aren't enough pockets to organize things compared to some other high quality and less expensive bags. This bag is probably still a good option for others
