Euro TravelThe 450D Nylon and the EYS harness system makes the Euro Travel a lightweight alternative to the heavier travel packs on the world market. Also, the base of the backpack is in 950D Kodra, one of the strongest and most durable synthetic products on the world market and a fabric often used on military backpacks for strength and abrasive resistance. All fabric for White Mountain™ Backpacks is manufactured by Kolon Int. in Korea, a highly reputable and leading world fabric manufacturer that produces high quality synthetic materials. A popular choice for those that will not be hiking great distances and need a lighter backpack, but are searching for a quality backpack with a fully functional bushwalking harness. The quoted capacity of either 60 L, 70 L or 80 L does not take into account the extra capacity in the daypack. This would add conservatively 5 L to the quoted capacity of the Euro Travel, bringing the total capacity to either 65 L, 75 L or 85 L respectively. There are two compartments on this backpack, the upper and lower divided by a draw cord division so you can use the backpack as one compartment, or two compartments. It has two suitcase carry handles, (one on the side and one on top), a removable 15 litre daypack (has an internal organiser and a facility to install a water reservoir complete with an exit point for the water reservoir hose), one shoulder sling, and a zipped cover over the harness (the harness cover and shoulder sling can both be folded and stored at the base of the backpack). We also provide a facility to attach the daypack without using the zips, a handy option when attaching a very full daypack. Inside this backpack there is two internal compression straps with a removable organiser, a full wet proof pocket on the inside of the front loading (panel opening) lid, which is great for storing laundry or the temporary storage of damp clothing, and six external compression straps. The two lower, or sleeping bag compression straps are long enough to accommodate a sleeping mat if required, or can also be used to strap extra gear to your backpack. There are four D-Rings on top of this backpack, which allows you to add further compression straps and secure more gear on top of your backpack if required. From September 2002, we reintroduced the Euro Travel with an organiser in the daypack and a facility for a water reservoir, complete with an exit point for the water reservoir hose. The Euro Travel features new colour combinations, black/red, black/yellow, and black/blue. We are certain that this will become our most popular product. Please Note: The current "Euro Travel in BLACK" does not have these added features in the daypack. (There is no organiser nor facility for a water reservoir in the daypack). We believe that the conservative buyer interested in the Black Euro Travel will not miss the added features in the daypack. The Euro Travel is now a serious competitor for the colour fashion conscious market, and in our opinion the Euro Travel is of a much higher quality and functionality than all competitor products within this price range and product type. |
