Many thanks for this. It is a balanced, objective appraisal and you do wonderfully well in not Ray-bashing! Your observations have certainly swayed my opinion: I don't think I'll be spending my money on this sack. I like the idea behind a well thought out design that is backed by good, high-quality manufacture but I feel that there are a number of glaring inadequacies in this particular example - borne out by your comments and first-hand observations.

Again, thank you.

Valid considerations. However remember this is the first production run. Hopefully they'll take input from buyeres and adapt future production.
 
If they being out a smaller pack in defo in!!

The more I see it I like it, I just haven't got a reason for a 90 litre pack.

70 would be great though!!
 
I'd secretly hoped that Woodlore would make something like this...

...which I would add to my comprehensive collection of Woodlore leather and canvas goods.

But this one isn't for me, as others have said, it offers nothing new.

Nowhere near enough badges!
