Review:
The Macpac Torlesse is a really comfortable backpack with good and fairly soft padding. I bought it originally for my wife or daughter as it fits smaller people a bit better but I have since used it myself on multiple occasions. The fabric is quite heavy duty, so the backpack is certainly made out of solid, durable material (hence its empty weight is higher than what you would want when you go super-light hiking). If you are after a well-manufactured, very comfortable and reliable backpack - this is certainly a good purchase.
Pros:
- Well manufactured
- Comfortable with heaps of soft padding
- Durable and reliable fabric
Cons:
- A bit on a heavy side (not out of the norm but too heavy if you are planning on weight optimisation for multi-day hikes).
Comment:
Great pack for multi-day hikes where you can do with a 65L pack.
