hi folks,
I was very much looking forward to this, I have a Vulcan...
And don't get me wrong guys I absolutly love that daddy, furthermore I bought the Vulcan for 20 Eur on Ebay it has been in use with a girl that has traveled around the world with this Rucksack so it has a history and I like that.
But... and this is my mistake, I think I have a medium size as in the smaller version, not from the capacity of stuff to put in but from the size of the Hip strap and so forth, even after a lot of fiddling around I cannot get the Vulcan to be very comfortable.
So I had to carry most of the stuff with my shoulders what is not that much of an issue (so i thought) my pashion is also weightlifting so I have quite strong shoulders back and traps.
However with the summer aproaching I though it maybe is time for a new Bag and I went for the Karrimor 45 SF.
First impression yesterday was everything the Reviews are saying is spot on, feels good, looks good.
Since we are going hiking on the weekend I repacked my bag from my Vulcan to my karrimor.
First off and that came as a big suprise, the Sidepockets from the Vulcan actually match to the Karrimor, so there will be no need for me to get the extra expensive sidepockets...
Seriously couldn't believe it.
After I put all my stuff in I put the Sack on and had a good feel for it, and I ahve to say I it;s such a difference when you have a pack were you can actually use the Hip belt, it feels like there is litteraly no weight on your shoulders.
I have not fully adjusted the Karrimor yet but I think i dedicate some time today to get it fully setup.
i will keep the Vulcan and hope my wife will like it, if not never mind I keep it for emergencies or when I go out with a friend who needs a good backpack.
Overall I think I will be very pleased but I tell you guys more when I'm back from my hiking trip.
