Perfect rucksack

"I recently decided to treat myself to a brand new rucksack for a trip to Peru. I have used many brands over the years but have to say I absolutely love this one - the pack was ideal. Tough, practical & not too big so it forced me to edit what I was taking to only what was strictly necessary. I think I’ve found my forever rucksack!"

"Bag held up great for our trip Allowed us to add to bag as we picked up items on our trip. Very comfy and durable"

Robert S. (5/5)

Small but perfectly formed!

"Great looking, compact rucksack that fits a lot more in than I had expected - and can expand a lot at the top. The full front zip opening made it much more accessible thank my previous one, which I loved. The bright orange rain and travel cover with size handle was a great touch for checking it in on a plane!"

Best backpack ever!

"I been traveling the World since 1995, and this backpack is the best ever!"

Anna B. (5/5)

Excellent hiking backpack

"I looked at various options and The Mainpack by Salken is one of the best if not the best on the market, in terms of both price and quality. I recommend it highly."

45l backpack

"My daughter is beyond delighted with this 45l backpack she is travelling for six months and it fits everything perfectly and is a great size for her. It has been well thought out with hidden pockets and lovely design features she loves the design details."

Minnie W. (5/5)

Comfy roomy awesome!

"So far I’ve tested an osprey 65l for an Asia trip, which was just too big, wasn’t really needed all that stuff! The I had a 35l fjallraven which was my go to but not quite as big enough- this is the sweet spot, good for 10kg Ryan air check in,which is my first trip with the backpack, so in the summer I’ll test this for a longer beach trip and in a year I’ll take her on a new 3 month Asia trip! Love it!"

Lauren K. (5/5)

Amazing

"Absolutely love this bag - looks cool and super well made, will last a lifetime!"

Daniel T. (5/5)

Mainpack 45l

"This is a brilliant back pack. This is the second one I have bought. The first has proved so robust and well designed for eldest son backpacking round the world this one is for his younger brother. Feels like it will last forever-( it has a lifetime guarantee!) So sensible to have metal fastening hook rather than plastic clips. I love the look of them too. Simple and unfussy. I never write reviews and am breaking a habit of a lifetime! Very highly recommended"

Kathryn L. (5/5)

"Every stitch of the bag feels like quality. Well thought out pack, excellent pockets, great access & very comfortable. Can’t wait to go on a trip!"
