• Didn't really get on with my Trailblazer 18. Pockets are all a bit weird shapes and lack of bottle pockets was annoying, plus the UL sternum strap is hard to do up.

    Wanted something a little bigger too so took a punt on a aliexpress Aonijie 30l pack. It's a rip off of a ultimate direction fastpack but supposedly with some improvements. Quite surprised with it tbh and enjoying it. My other half using it near Ullswater on saturday while i carried the baby...

  • I’ll check out the Aonijie. And yep agree about the trailblazer. I find it works well with effort - flexi water bottles in the shoulder pockets, bars and stuff in the hip pockets, etc. but it’s all just a lot of effort and just too small for more than running.
