I'm somehow not convinced of these style backpacks. The top to bottom access aspect. I once traveled to Korea for 2 weeks with one such bag (not this brand) and I hated every moment of it. It was incredibly difficult to find the things inside, had to fully unload it to access stuff on the bottom, all the hanging adjustables were always in the way. I am thinking rather to go for a backpack-duffel hybrid that has clamshell opening but offers the benefit of being able to carry like a backpack.
Really helpful video, thank you :D For a women I have a very long torso, but also narrow shoulders and wide hips, so have had a lot of trouble finding something that will be suitable. Whack it together with a bad back and a penchant for multi city hopping around and I have a long list of requirements for my bag. I have been researching the Deuter Avaiant for a while, and your review has decided me; I really do think it's going to be the one for me. Have a great day.
❤️ Thanks Jean - really glad you enjoyed our review, and I hope you're happy with the pack! Mine has been with me for quite a few trips and all-day hikes and still my favourute Thanks also for the Buy Me a Coffee support - really put a smile on my face ☺️
G'day Ralph. Good review mate. That cover is a good idea. I much prefer to pull forward to tighten the waist belt. Ditto with the packs lol. I have sold 10 of my pack over the last few months. For now I have found a style of pack that works well for me. Keep them coming. All the best. Clive.
How do you do. Thanks for the polite review! I'm thinking of replacing this bag. If you know, please let me know, is there a function to hang a padlock on the zipper of this bag?
The included travel cover (for rain or checking the bag in an airplane flight) has a lockable zipper. I’m uncertain about the bag without the travel cover, but I think there are too many access points to make it lockable outside of the cover.
Ralph, I guess there are worse things than being addicted to buying backpacks! LOL. That is a pretty ingenious bag. My Osprey has the same waist belt design. It is very nice. Much easier to pull forward to tighten, rather than pulling outwards. Nice that you got a screaming deal on such a night pack! 4.75 means it's a winner; maybe it is the Rolls Royce?
Thank you for a great review! I'm considering purchasing the 65+10 SL Aviant Access Pro, which looks to be a very similar pack. It's advertised as being ideal for people with a smaller build - I'm 188cm, so I'm worried that it might be a little on the small side. It's obviously a different pack, but from your experience with this one, would you say that that's a valid concern?
Thanks for the comment Daniel - the frame size is smaller and so is the volume, and for hiking it won't fit a decent sized tent as well as a sleeping bag and all overnight gear, food, etc. As a travel bag for a few nights it's great and with day pack it's a great co figuration
Love my deuter backpack. Sooo comfortable. However, I found that being a 45 litre, I didn't have enough room for winter gear. They also don't deny themselves to having much attached to the outside, unlike the Tasmanian Tiger Raid 3 I purchased which is a 52 litre and has molle webbing. Chalk and cheese when it comes to comfort though. Deuter wins the comfort race by far.

Thanks for the feedback 😀
This bag is not only top and bottom access. There is a full panel that opens the middle for access like their duffel model.
Thank you for your review, it was super helpful. I just ordered mine, I cannot wait 😊
Thanks for the comment - it's my favourite long day hike and camping pack 👍
A great back pack Ralph, you covered all aspects of the pack very well. That is a pretty impressive score Ralph. Have a great day.
Thanks for watching Joseph!

Thanks for the question. Yes, you can use a small padlock on the zippers 👍

Having said that you could strap larger items to the outside 😊
