After checking out quite a few options, I had ordered for a Wildcraft rucksack and a couple of other travel accessories online (www.wildcraft.in). Having received the stuff today, I am delighted- the rucksack is awesome.
Its called the ALPINIST 55.
Its called the ALPINIST 55.
Its a 53 Ltr, top-loading rucksack made of good quality nylon, weighing just over 2 kgs.
The side balloon-pockets are large enough. The hood has two compartments and big enough to push in all the utility stuff life gloves, hat, multi-purpose tools, sun glasses, maps, etc. The sack comes with a rain cover as well tucked inside a nice little pocket at the base of the sack.
The padding on the shoulder belts, waist belts and the lumbar and back support are really good and after wearing the sack with full load, it felt quite comfortable.
The sack has loops and straps for carrying a sleeping bag, mat, ice axes, walking poles and options for extra attachments as well. The zippers and runners are of really good quality.
Although a few additional features would made the bag even better:
1) Detachable utility pouch with the waist belts
2) Better color options
3) Rubber base to protect the bag's base from scrapes and scratches.
Even without these features, the bag is worth every penny.
Wildcraft, although doesn't have many branches in the northern part of India, has a very efficient website. It was very easy to order the products online and the packages were shipped to me in just two days, very well packed and free of cost! Prem, the person responsible for the online business was very polite and helpful. Loved doing business with Wildcraft! Really.
Well, as of now, can't wait to take the Alpinist 55 to HMI, Darjeeling next month. 20 more days to go and it feels like an aeon.
