What is up Duroc here you first outdoors. Today I wanna do a quick little review a. Pretty sweet little Daebak I like god it's gonna be the Deuter a ct trail 30. That's right this little pack is quiet. Impressive actually I was kind of skeptical but I used it on a recent hike.
And I was very impressed with it especially if it looks kind of small but. It held everything I needed it to hold. Which was surprising and it is very. Comfortable so I'm gonna go over a couple of things with it and pack it out shows you how much it held for me and why. I think it's a good pack for the money alright let's take a good look at this thing first so the pack is very light empty pack weighs. Out 2 pounds 10 ounces, this is the app trail 30 so it's a 30-liter pack.
I was a little skeptical about the hip belt you know there's no padding or anything like that now you gotta understand this just adds a pack so you can pack. It out really well but this really it did well and the padding here kind of. Leaves a space between your back so some. Air can flow through that and that seemed to work well it was a pretty hot day when we hiked up mount Trumbull.
So, I was very comfortable got some stuff I already used this pack once this is looking at the back the. Straps are adjustable here and then up. Top but you can't adjust the back like. Port or so that's pretty much you get. What you get flipping this over what I like about. This too is it's got the little rain. Rain fly that will cover back here. Always like that, I think that's great in the packs no although I should try and put this all in the packs full up to see what looks like they will do that so that's cool that stuff back into there. You've got one strap to lock the top. Down here and you've got some extra. Space on the front here to store some.
Things and you can also store some. Things well that's the side. Entrance there so that's kind of windy. And you've got that on one side what you. Also, have is the ability to just open. The entire pack from the top like that. So that's kind of handy grab things out. Of there without having to go to the top and then there's also the top pocket. Which you can store some things to get your key holder there and there's also one more pocket isn't there yeah inside. The top there you can cram some stuff in there as well. We've also got a little bit of knowledge.
Right here you know alpine emergency by. You know singled aircraft all those things that'll help you out if you get. And a pinch well it's tough this thing. Our real quick alright so what you're. Seeing here is the back fully loaded. Everything I like to carry on a day hike. And it seems to hold on then what i. Don't have I don't have stuff jammed in the top pockets or in this front pocket so those are still empty although I'm. Sure I could find something to put in there I like to pack a view so that's just or lots of stuff that's just how it. Rolls but we're loaded you can see how. Now that holds up. Show you how fitz.
Here we have it's pretty good mmm. One thing I really like about this and I was kind of weird when I first put it on is like with the straps it belts I'm. Used to pulling back to tighten this one. They go pull front and it's beautiful it. Looks great I'm you can just type down like that and I just think it's so much easier to pull that away then this way that's brilliant. Actually, I think that's really cool also on the sternum strap it has this. The plastic thing that's clipped on and it. Moves up fairly simple so you can adjust. Sternum strap pretty easy. Looking at this now that could pop off. Just pop out of there it doesn't run.
Through so that's gonna happen I mean. It's gonna happen this is gonna pop off. And I presume that you could pop it back on we'll see but a cool little feature. But I think that, yeah I know that's. Gonna pop off sometimes somewhere it'll grab on something I don't know interesting works well but well we'll. See won't you already got a loop sewn.
In here to hang something sunglasses a. Little camera case something like that's pretty cool okay there's. One side pocket here and I generally. Don't carry sticks on day hike just. Depends on what I'm getting into so this will fit in an al jean bottle. And you can run this through the loop at the nalgene top there to keep it from popping out but that works well and you. Can also use to hold your sticks or whatever looking at this is going. To fail in time everything fails but.
That's I don't know like I said this is. A new pack I've only used it once I'm hard on things I've run through bushes. And dragged things across it I mean it's. Just we'll see but for the moment it. Works you can just that yeah I mean this. Is gonna pop off or rip out it will i. Now it just cuz it's happened. Everything every time I have things like this they're gonna fail not off the back. But eventually so bearing that in mind.
You can still fit an al jean in there. And you could probably rig something up to tie it but that looks pretty secure in there but this thing your miles may. Very I suppose but it's handy and it'll. Work for the moment we will see in time. Heavy usage you know things are gonna fall apart there's another one over here. Also where you can hang something.
Through and a nice ax or something I suppose something else but there's no pocket so yeah you know you got some. Little things are sewn here you could attach things to so there're options it's cool I like what I like it you know I think it's a well-thought-out pack, for the most part.
I think these things could be. A little sturdier and a little more. Heavy-duty but you know things like that. Will increase the cost of the pack so. Yeah, we'll see where it takes it rights. You've also got some loops sewn in on. The bottom here and they'll be useful. For some things, this is connected here. You'll take unhook that and that's how. You'll access. That's your side wait a minute, do you notice that huh.
Okay well, there's a side pocket right there instead of outside. Pockets a zipper pocket where you could stash something a map or something would go there wow just now I've seen all kinds of cool stuff so you don't clip these claps here. And this will get you into the top of. The back to get whatever you need out of their back down so now that this thing.
All full up let's try that rain fly. Again see how that holds up sticks out. Of here put these back on so I got a full up pack will this fly cover it now. Moment of truth alright so the fly is attached to them pack flies out and wind grabs it you'll.
Never see it again let's see this. Actually well right look at that. Axe fully loaded and the rain cover just. Covered the entire pack and it covers it. Well, that's cool to love it and it's even. Got a little drain hole at the bottom like I said this is a pretty thought-out pack a nicely thought out pack all right you've got your slot for. Your camel back hose and then it'll run. Down strap there go right through there. So there's your water system if you will. I don't really like using camelbaks. That's just my preference sometimes I do but a lot of times I don't I'll just stick with no jeans so what I've got in. The pack is I've actually got four. Nalgene bottles in their now one of them. Stuffed with things I may need so in.
The theory I could hold a gallon of water just with the Nalgene bottles in here and I'm. Gonna dig everything out and show you what I got in their so jackets rain. The jacket also got another now jean this is. Got a bunch of stuff in it. Whistle lighters blah blah blah and I've. Got 20-liter dry bags this just got all. Stuff like compass sunscreen food toilet. Paper all those essential things like that and I don't really carry this is a. Quick dry bag this is more for canyoning.
So I've got stuff ready for a canyon I'm doing tomorrow we've got a lighter dry bag which I'll use this to cut down on weight but it's still the same thing 20 liters it's not full of course but you know that'll work. Too and that's everything that was in. There and you've also got your slot of. Course for your camel back in here like that so there you have it all my stuff. That was in there so pack holds quiet. A bit everything you need for sweet long. Day hike and if you have to have or come. Into some inclement weather, it's already. Geared like that I'm very impressed with this pack I like it a lot and I think it'll last there's a couple weak. Points I think but you're gonna have that'll anything and if you were to make.
Those things more heavy-duty like I said. It's just going to increase the price point of the pack and as far as the. Price point I think was it yeah this went for 130 dollars so. I think it is worth it. To be honest with you so there you have. It the door a ct trail 30 I use this pack. You can check out the video the hiking mount Trumbull video I use this pack to do that hike and it served me very well I think I'll get a lot of use. Out of this pack so as always appreciate. You watch stay safe out there if you haven't subscribed please subscribe, and we'll see you next time do you rock out.

Conclusion
Having the right knapsack on your back can make the difference between having a good time outdoors and more irritation. Choosing the right backpack, however, can be quite difficult. Your personal needs will vary according to the environment and the climate in which you spend your time, as well as your packing habits and body type.

We hope that this review will provide valuable information and help you in finding the best product.
