'DECENT DAYSAC IF BOUGHT CHEAP'
Strengths:
comfortable, keeps your back dry(ish)
Weaknesses:
back system reduces volume, zipped side pockets, small pockets in the lid
Overall:
got mine for under £30, so decent value for money - not worth full RRP. Comfortable, with good supportive hipbelt. Difficult access to main compartment due to curved freeflow back system, but seems a reasonable trade-off for reduced sweatiness. Small pockets in the lid are a pain though; they would be better located on/in the main body.

'VERY COMFORTABLE DAYSACK, BUT A LITTLE EXPENSIVE.'
Strengths:
The freeflow back works well to reduce dampness. Very comfortable harness, hardly know the rucksack is there really. Has a handy raincover in a lid pocket plus two more generously sized pockets in the lid. Side pockets are a good size. Seems to hold more than the 25l volume would suggest (or maybe my larger rucksacks are smaller).
Weaknesses:
Seems a little expensive compared to some alternatives. It would be nice to have compression straps, or even better a front pocket, to stuff a map or lightweight waterproof in (there is a 25+6? model with a front pocket for £60!). I took my first one back as it had a defective side-pocket zip - jammed on poor stitching which tended to the pull more stitching out. The replacement seems to be suffering a similar problem.
Overall:
I bought this as a small sack for short walks when I didn't fancy carrying a larger sack. So not really for heavy duty use. For what I wanted it for I'm very pleased. It is comfortable and carries my stuff. So it pretty much does what you'd expect of a modern rucksack. However although it has some nice features, it doesn't stand out from the crowd given the price. I'm also have concerns over the quality of the zips, so how durable it is time will tell.

'A CHAV RUCKSACK'

Looks alright

Not bad but better used as a small day sack or commuting bag
