They say
The Alpkit Pacific Crest is rated for its durability and adjustability, with a back system that allows for a custom fit and large air vents to keep you cool.
The pack's storage options are a standout, especially the side zipped pocket that offers easy access to larger items. The main fabric's water resistance is reliable, providing ample protection during rainfall.
"This pack has weight-saving features you might expect from much more expensive models."
The fastenings and compression straps, despite feeling cheaper, have shown durability. The pack includes all the expected extras, such as hydration ports and loops for attaching gear.
