Does anybody own one of these? What are your views on the product? I remember Nash bringing out a framed rucksack many years ago but they never seemed to really take off probably because they were very heavy!

I liked the product idea, but when I picked it up in the shop, it was a lot heavier than my backpack, so I decided to pass on it.

I bought one but then sold it, two main reasons:

The zip on the main compartment is very tight and due to the pressure needed not sure how durable this will be over a long time. I never used to zip mine all around as I was always worried the zip would break.

The swivel feet do not sit very well on a barrow.

I don't own it but I think the fact the legs aren't extendable was a design schoolboy error. I had a Nash framed rucksack for years and I loved it. Still using a Free Spirit one that replaced the Nash when it finally broke.

I have one and used it the weekend. As someone else said the zip part at the top is difficult to zip up. I have the large and its not as large as you think. Internal space doesn't be long filling up. Also a faff with the rigid frame getting into the car. I would recommend you just get a bivvy table and a half decent carryall. You can fit more and way easier to transport.

Got one in Large and love it, just hope they release it in the dark kamo!

Zip is tight on the top but have owned mine since they first came out and no issues at all.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
