The first thing I like about this bag is the fact it doesn't have a huge logo smeared across it. It always seems strange that you pay for something, then become a mobile advertisement for the brand. We all know which brand I'm referring to.
The next thing is the zips. Call me a bag nerd, but I think you can tell a lot from the quality of zips. They run easily and smoothly with one hand, and have a clever rubber seal to stop any water ingress.
The materials used seem high quality – time will tell. It is comfortable to carry, but has a tad too many straps and handles and fiddly bits for my liking, however the upside of that is its multi-functionality.
Mine is green – it's unusual, and I like it a lot. And last thing, I was keen to buy a bag that is as British designed/made as possible. I can't find any labels that say where it is actually manufactured. So probably China, but best not think about it. ThreePeaks, if it is Wales, be proud and tell us.
