Delighted with my Trail Packaway 35L from Dunhelm

Al the optimist

A huge thanks to whoever it was that first found this bag and mentioned it on the forum. £12 well spent. It worked brilliantly. When packed it weighed just over 3K initially but ended up as 4.1k when I added another change of clothes (long story). By the way 0.7K of this was my soft shell and rain jacket and another 0.7 my sandals. I hardly noticed it on my back and often found myself trying to sit down with it still there! There is not a waist belt (although advertised as having one) but it really was unnecessary and would actually probably been more of a nuisance than a help. Yes it got wet in the rain as no bag cover but as everything inside was in dry bags it was no problem. There was more than enough room, it packed neatly and small. So small that it raised many comments including the inevitable "And where is your other bag?" It became quite a conversation point. So please - who do I have to thank? I have my suspicion but without trolling through endless posts I cannot confirm it. Help me out - take a public bow please!
Lots of :):):):):):):):):):):)s about deciding to go this route. It probably helped my heel spur a lot being so light and comfy.
