Ok so only used the rucksack once but I did give it a good hike one of our local flying sites which is alway a bit of a steep climb. Rucksack just about accommodated a Gin Genie lite harness plus max helmet and Small Nova Mentor 7 lite with inflatable packing roll whick was not quite fully inflated. I did take take to pack the glider carefully around the harness. It’s obviously light dyneema material so it’s not going to be so robust as the standard rucksack. The temptation to squeeze the gear in will put the lighter zips under duress so I would recommend “helping” the zips along. It’s described as having a 75ml zippered water bottle holder on the Gin website which it doesn’t have so you’ll have to carry your water bottle in your hand…this was a bit disappointing. The zipper flap closes to the back of the rucksack so when packing into the rucksack the top of the glider or harness lies on the ground. Until it’s closed which is sort of counter intuitive..but it’s a small point. Overall it’s ok. Comfortable to carry and feels very secure.

Extremely comfortable just like the original, nice shape and material feels really tough but light. Unfortunately, the stated weight is way off, listed as 650g but weighs 925g! Otherwise a great rucksack.
