Moonlight 25

Love a lot about this backpack. The size is ideal, the difference access routes are great (I use the front zip way more than I thought I would), the laptop compartment is huge but if left empty doesn't take up extra space in the bag. The straps are perfect, I was worried they'd be too wide for narrower shoulders, but they're not. The only drawback I've found is the sponge back pad. It's comfy, but not good on hot days. I use the bag as my daily cycling commute bag, and on hotter days the sweat marks are very very obvious. It's more visible due to the lighter colour (black would make this less obvious) but the sponge also holds liquid REALLY well, so it takes ages to dry out, and after a sweaty cycle I'm carrying around a wet backpack for hours, which isn't great. It also holds heat well, and feels way hotter on my back than my previous backpack, compounding the sweat issue. The marks don't completely go away when dry, so even after one bike ride, there's a big mark on the back.
Can definitely be solved with some light cleaning, but having to give my backpack a sponge bath after every use isn't ideal.

Nice and sleek, minimial, minimalist. The carrying system is a bit too simple, perhaps. Same for the internal system. The long zip is great. Would prefer if it was a double-zip that could be moved all the way up - now if bag is closed and on my back, someone else could open it from the bottom.

Right out of the box, this pack impresses with its sleek design and high-end materials. The construction feels rugged yet refined. At 25 liters, it strikes the perfect balance: roomy enough to carry essentials for a day trip or climbing session, but compact and light so it never weighs you down. The organization is smart. Multiple access points make gear management a breeze; everything has its place without wasting space. This pack performs beautifully and looks great doing it.

Ce n'était pas évident de choisir un sac d'escalade en comparant des sites Internet, et je suis très content d'avoir retenu le Moonlight 25. C'est la taille idéale et il est très bien pensé avec son double système d'ouverture, la poche topo et la possibilité d'ajouter le porte casque.
