BIG HAND to DESIGN and WORKMANSHIP
I am a real "Backpack-Lover" since I use Backpacks all the time, my entire life throughout my youth and years of exploring the globe, backpacking around the world, camping, doing all the outdoors and mountain sports, summer and winter, and even later on carrying my kids around in backpacks and also when travelling for work. This is also no surprise, firstly being a Tyrolean, and secondly considering that one of my first jobs was to be the "head of exports" for a South African Outdoor Brand and manufacturer of Backpacks in the 1990! Having had designed various Backpacks on my own and knowing, how much work this involves, I can only express my biggest respect to all the people who were invovled in developping this amazing Backpack! So versatile, such a neat workmanship, an timeless but still fashionable design for basically all ages, a tone of understatement, highest quality parts and fittings, useable for pretty much all "urban-alpine" activities ... I am deeply surprised that it did not end up being way more expensive. My one and only advice for improvement - a name tag, since I would presume, that this bag will have a strong attraction to people to find it, before I lose it :-)! And to make sure, that it will find the way back to myself, I put my name and phone number insider the bag with a waterproof marker in big fat letters! It is MINE, and it will REMAIN mine - not negotiable! Thanks to COOPH and keep on shaking out such cool and super-handy designs!
