Equipment Review - SUMO expedition bag from Haglöfs


SUMO 75/95 L

If you are looking for a reliable, well-thought and straight forward backpack for heavy loads. This is for you.

This backpack is the ideal friend on your several-day-hikes and/ or expeditions. It sits very well even on narrow lady shoulders and the waist band is very well padded securing that all weight is transferred without any pinching or bothering – even though the load might be very heavy.

I prefer the pack as simple and straight forward as possible without any excessive and unnecessary pockets and features. This pack fully lives up to this demand. It is perfect for packing fast and tight in the morning. The bottom entrance is formed and perfected as to easily enter bulk from the bottom and on the side of the bag is another zipper to gain easy access to your “middle” stuff. Great.

The fabric is tough and black which I personally like as my packs always get very dirty. The top compartment can be detached and carried around the waist when doing exploring outside of a fixed basecamp.

Cool features:
-          - Waterproof zippers
-          - Good positions of grips for easy handling
-          - Camelbak inlet and easy directing of tube
-          - Great distribution of pockets and roll-up straps
