My review of the zipperfox by wisport, took it on a 20 mile round trip excursion in the wilderness. Make sure to check out my video from that trip. Thanks for watching.
Hey, nice and honest review. I would like to add few things to it: 1) water pack. I use 2 l one and do not have problems with it pushing on my back. I use original carry system so I think it is pushing towards inside of the backpack. About water going worm I'm not sure as I work in tropical climate and I expect it to go worm quite fast anyway. 2)quick release clips are not a problem for me but I'm tall so it might be different from my point of view. 3) thing that I don't like about the product is creating a small "pocket" between the top of backpack and main back wall when adjusting straps to bring center of weight towards my backbone. Shit like to get there when I bushwaliking. It's not much of it but enough to mention it. I think that adjusting the carry system as you did will eliminate the issue but will make carrying the water problematic.
Very nice frame sheet idea. I do the same stuff lol. I really like this pack. Wish inside the shoulder straps and waistbelt the material was mesh for breathability. Curious how breathable that material is? I also like the wisport crafter 55 pack. Nice system man!
Three questions please. How tall are you? Ratio legs to upper body? And could you make a video where you have the bag on your back and turn a bit around so I could see the fitment on the hips?
I bought the pack and it's very well made. The original single frame stay bar and padding is ok, but I purchased the LARGE framesheet from here www.ula-equipment.com/product/catalyst-framesheet/ for $16 (free US shipping) and trimmed the top 3 inches and a few inches from the side. The sheet is thick foam with 2 x contoured aluminum stays, and fit into the hydration compartment which I never use anyway. Its gone from very good to EXCELLENT.
Guys, two drag handles on the bottom are designed for strapping skis. Very useful when you need to carry on your back skis
this drag handles on the left, and right side it's for skis :))

Nice pack, thanks for the review. Are those back support inserts easy to find though? thanks for sharing.

Hello friend, good sample you do, what hydration bag are you showing? Thanks
Great review (in English!) - how tall is the panel you made? I can't believe there's no framesheet in the bag!

Hello, Nice review. I'm looking for that exact kind of rigid internal frame. Does anyone have a link or recommandation to buy one ?
Don’t want to trade this pack after 4 years do you?
Trade for what?
