It's not the most comfortable of rucksacks, but it's like a tardis inside. Plenty of well thought out little features and made well. I'd recommend it

I ordered the new one and comparing with the older one side by side it is exactly the same size. The only differences are the top tray, (which is very handy) and the new shoulder straps which make it sit slightly better than the old one.

All in all a great little rucky... ...

As I said below good little rucksack but The trouble with these companies they don't listen to feedback from anglers I have spoke to dozens of people and everyone says they need to change the harness to make it more comfortable even a shop manager told ta rep how uncomfortable the mk 1 was as I've said before they need to copy the esp or speero they copied cotswold Aquarius and there terrible for comfort

Is it heavy as it's made of cordura which is like Aqua luggage hard wearing but a heavy material

No its not heavy at all,the padding on it is ridiculous.It is so comfy on your back and shoulders,the only thing I would prefer is there is only one grab handle.I liked the fact the TA had one either side of the bag

Such an interesting question, with many variables.
Height, weight and build of the individual, and good general health condition.

Found this on a walking/ backpacking website

Pack Weight for Backpacking and Hiking:
A loaded backpacking pack should not weigh more than about 20 percent of your body weight.
(If you weigh 150 pounds, your pack should not exceed 30 pounds for backpacking.)

A loaded day hiking pack should not weigh more than about 10 percent of your body weight. Found this on a backpackers website.

Carp anglers so fail at these weight guides
