Love it a bit of movie magic
Got after seeing apex and really like it - fits heaps and happy will be waterproof for hikes and Paddleboarding. Only downside is ideally not to wear with strapped tops as the inside of the straps are patterned and a bit uncomfortable on skin. Really love the style and staff were super helpful when I forgot the code for the free cups. Much appreciated

Swiss army backpack
This is the absolute ultimate in adventure backpacks. There is nothing it can’t do! It is hands down the most versatile piece of kit I have and I don’t go on a single outing without it now.
From the removable laptop organisers/holder the to easy clean material. The airflow system for breath ability and the durability of the materials used I am yet to find an environment that this bag would not thrive in.

Sturdy and Light
Great for packing equipment you want to keep dry during our wonderful English weather!!! Plenty of room for extra layers and essential for a day or two out and about. Only niggle is the removable sleeve can cause a little ridge in the backpack that can be uncomfortable on long hikes. But it’s removable and adjustable so make sure it’s positioned to suit your back profile. Comfortable straps and back of rucksack is well designed to wick away sweat and heat. All in all a great piece of kit that goes everywhere with me

My Go To Adventure Bag
I have used this bag for years teaching paddleboarding on the river - it is my go to bag - perfect for day paddles, putting everything i need in for a guided trip for everyone else and easy to access and use. It has lasted so well, v durable, especially the bottom, love the water bottle pocket, the gear loops and pockets. Would wear this hiking if it had a hip belt!

My go to bag
This is the one constant bag that I take with me for swimming and or work when going abroad. For swimming it’s high quality, robust and takes in it stride and survives “planes, trains and automobiles…” Have used it for business in London and the computer insert is of great quality and most useful too. Have had mine for a while know and it still as good as new. If i was only allowed to take one bad on a trip it would be this one.
