I’ve put a lot of miles on mine already and it’s been really comfortable ... I have the standard rip stop fabric version which is 0.9kg (slightly lighter than the Dyneema version) ... My roll top works differently to yours with two adjustable clips on the side which make it a bit neater ... those two top straps can be used to secure your tent ... I did that last time with my cloud up 2 and it worked great so should work for your Lanshan as well ... the back pad does get a bit sweaty on hot days but on days with normal temps it does keep your back cooler ... this bag is a copy of the ULA ohm 2 but at 1/3 the cost ! Neither Novice wild camper or myself have experienced the rubbing of the frame that Ruth talked about ... I hope you enjoy yours as much as I / we have ... Nice video ... ATB Dave Mc
Thanks for your comments Dave. I discovered that this pack also has the side clips for the roll top lid which makes the whole pack so much more compact and neat. Due to being in tier 4 my Thruhike of the Northants Rounds has been postponed but I’m looking forward to giving this pack a good test on a longer backpacking trip. It’s good to know that others haven’t had the issue that Ruth had. Happy Hiking 🥾- Julia from the chilly and muddy UK 🇬🇧
I saw Ruths video after I ordered mine but I'm 6'4 so not really comparable. Had mine a couple of months now and loving it. Not got the dyneema as it wasn't out then but its a great bag. Subbed you by the way 👍
Cheers! It was your video that convinced me to get it! I think Ruth’s video has put a lot of people off which is a shame. I think it’s a great pack (apart from my pockets open up backwards!). Happy hiking and thanks for subbing. One step closer to 1000 :-) - ATB Julia
Sorry for the delay in replying. WIth the strap extended out as as as it will go, its 147c m / 57 inches. The padded section is 29". Hope that answers your question.
Thanks for the review. When you wear it looks a little bit low on you? Can you adjust the torso? Did you try it in the field yet. How much does the pack weigh? How does it compare with your two other packs?
Hi Dano, thanks for taking the time to comment. It is a bit low on me, but so is my Salomon pack and that is super comfy. You can adjust the height of the hip belt, but not the torso (and it's 26 inches long). The pack weighs 1.31kg which includes the frame and rain cover (although I have now taken the rain cover out). There are pro's and cons when comparing it to my Osprey Aura 50 and my Salomon 44L packs. So far, it is holding up really well on day hikes. I have a 4-day wild camping trip planned over the Christmas Break, so I will feedback a bit more after that adventure. ATB - Julia
Looks great. Just subbed. Do you find it to be a true 60l? Would love to hear how it handles rain-did you seal it? I am looking to get this in addition to the 3f one I already have. For the value, this seems fantastic. I may go for the 60 dyneema. I love my lanshan2pro.
Thanks for taking the time to comment (and sub). Yes, I find it is a true 60L and I will find out how it copes in the rain after a four day / 50 mile hike in a few days time (I'll update the channel). How is the 3FUL pack? I love my Lanshan - I was thinking of upgrading to the Pro but was concerned about condensation. Happy Hiking! Julia
@@TheAdventureGeek Hi Julia. I watched your video this morning an am excited to try out the pack. I am working in a remote northern Canada location and my mother picked up a ton of Amazom stuff for me that I will be umpacking at Christmas. Might try my own UA-cam also (been having lots of fun this winter planning spring and summer trips and watching gear reviews - might load up the pack for some ice fishing also to try it out).
@@TheAdventureGeek I ordered the black/grey one and ordered directly from Naturehike with a few other products (thought of ordering blue because I want the dynema fabric - the non dynema was not an option so I think it should be right).
@@tylerwinning9069 I have just clicked "subscribe" on your channel, so now you need to make a video of your pack and your other goodies :-). Canada is on my wish list for places to visit. I often watch Justin Outdoors as some of the locations he visits is just amazing. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. ATB - Julia
@@TheAdventureGeek Sounds good (and now that I know I will get one view I will try to film something over Christmas and edit it when I get back up). I did watch some Justin Outdoors and mountains are on my to do list. I would not say he is "good" but Steve Wallis is a very enertaining outdoor adventure youtuber - the first video I watched I came across searching for rafting down the Saskatchewan River and I have watched some of his other videos now also. He is into stealth camping (camping for free) and has provided me some covid entertainment.
I saw that review as well, but I can honestly say that I never had a problem with the frame touching any part of my body. I have done a follow up video after using this pack for a while - so that may be worth looking at.
Will a hydration bladder fit in the second front pocket? The one you said about keeping your tent pegs in? Do you know why the dyneema version is heavier than the standard version? Great video btw, nice and thorough
Not the standard long ones. I just tried with my new 60L Naturehike Rock Series. A wide low-profile bladder might do it, though there's no hook to hang it from in the second pouch. Wishing there was some sort of main pack insert that could adapt this bag for a bladder. What's weird is that the roll top has a drinking tube hole on either side, it's just there's no internal pouch or hooks for a bladder.
Is there any advantage in going for the dyneema version vs the regular nylon? Naturehike lists the dymeema version (1.31 kg) as heavier than the regular nylon (1.16 kg). Thanks.
How has this worked out over time? I'm particularly wondering about how it fits the female form? I'm 5'6" and wondering about this over the Osprey Eja 48. Cheers, Westie
I sold it in the end as it was just not comfortable on anything longer than 6 miles. I am 5ft 2 with an 18" torso, so it was just too big for me. It may fit you better as you are taller than me. The Osprey has more flexibility with adjustments,but you are paying for it.
@@TheAdventureGeek , that interesting, I've been warned away from the pack for the reason you mention. I'm a 17 inch torso, so no chance for me! I've started looking at the Hyperlite packs but they're a fortune, might stick with saving up for the Osprey! Thanks so much for the update.
@@WestieWestie I was gutted as it was a great pack. I now have an Atom Pack which fits me like a glove (Had this for about 18 months now) but they are not cheap. (Had to save my pennies for that one. x
I've had this pack for a while now and by far the biggest issue are the shoulder straps. They're poorly positioned and way too hard. I plan on removing them, repacking them with softer foam and restitching at a better position and angle
Does anybody know how is it supposed to use a water bag with this backpack? I see holes for the pipe but there is no inside pocket for the bag itself. Thanks for your thoughts!
That’s a really good question. I don’t use a bladder for my pack so it’s not a problem, but yuh are right. There is no pocket or even a loop hole to hang a bladder inside, but there are hydro holes, so it’s a bit strange.
@@hamishdb I did, but this was a first impressions video and I subsequently found the bladder hole (sorry). There are also side straps so you don’t have to clip it together on the top, it’s just on the sides. When we are out of lockdown I’ll take it on a mini-thruhike and do a full review of the pack.

Was looking into this bag, glad you make a review on it👍🏻👍🏻 informative!
An update will be posted this week so stay tuned.

Great video! Looking forward for the next one: we have the same height and I am willing to buy this backpack. Thank you for sharing
I’m recording the update this weekend. It’s a great pack, but there are a few glitches with it, especially for ladies of our height. Stay tuned :-)
very detailed video, thanks. I got the dyneema too
Do you like the pack? I tried it out this weekend and the pockets on the hip belt will take a bit of getting used to! Thanks for commenting.
I think the color yours is looks better
Thank you. Happy Hiking 🥾- Julia
Mine broken the aluminum frame at the first light hike.
What is the maximum waist circumference on this backpack? Thanks a lot and congratulations on the great review
Sorry for the delay in replying. WIth the strap extended out as as as it will go, its 147c m / 57 inches. The padded section is 29". Hope that answers your question.
@@TheAdventureGeek Outstanding! Thank you so much, This information isn't available anywhere.

Hello julia...❤️❤️❤️
This backpack is so good,n good price.. but not for the torso.. im small too,😁 im 160cm .. so i canceled to buy this, 😭😂😂😂

I read in another review that the bottom of the frame could push onto your lower back. Have you had any issues with that?

@@TheAdventureGeek Thanks! I saw your other review and I think it will fit me better since I'm 6'4 tall. Are you selling your backpack? :)
@@bidufree I'm thinking of selling it as I do love my new Atom Pack. x
@@TheAdventureGeek How much would you like for it?

Looks good - I'm very tempted. :-) How's it working for you out on the hikes?
I've not had the opportunity to use it much, but once I have a few miles under my belt I will do another review. xx
I'm guessing you meant your torso was 18 inches not centimeters?
lol! Well spotted. I'm not that small! :-)
Is there any advantage in going for the dyneema version vs the regular nylon? Naturehike lists the dymeema version (1.31 kg) as heavier than the regular nylon (1.16 kg). Thanks.
I can't think why it would be lighter? Nylon would absorb more water, but that is the only reason I can think of to go for Dyneema.
