The Berghaus TwentyFourSeven 20 Litre Rucksack excels as a reliable companion for daily activities and short adventures. Its 20-litre capacity strikes a balance, comfortably holding essentials like a light jacket, lunch, a book, and small electronics for a day at work or university. For walkers, it's perfect for carrying waterproofs, snacks, and a first-aid kit on a day hike.
The vented foam and air mesh back system is a standout feature, particularly valuable during warmer weather or when moving quickly. It promotes airflow, significantly reducing the clammy feeling often associated with backpacks. Users will appreciate how the pack sits comfortably against the back without causing excessive sweating.
Hydration compatibility is key for active users. Simply slide your preferred hydration bladder into the internal sleeve and route the hose through the designated port for easy sipping on the go. This avoids fumbling with water bottles, especially useful on trails.
The zipped front glasses pocket offers a secure spot for eyewear, preventing scratches from other items. The side stretch pockets are highly practical for quick-access items like a water bottle, umbrella, or energy bars, making them ideal for commuting or when you need essentials without stopping.
For hikers, the walking pole holder is a thoughtful addition, allowing you to secure your poles when traversing easier terrain or packing away for public transport. The external carabiner attachment provides extra utility, whether for clipping keys, a water bottle, or even drying a small piece of gear.
The PFC-free, water-repellent material provides peace of mind in unpredictable weather. While not fully waterproof for submersion, it effectively sheds light rain and splashes, keeping your belongings dry during a quick shower or a damp commute. This rucksack is truly built for the "twenty-fourseven" demands of an active lifestyle, balancing practicality with comfort.
Adjust Shoulder Straps: Loosen all straps, then put the rucksack on. Pull the shoulder straps downwards to tighten until the pack sits snugly and comfortably on your back, with the weight distributed evenly.
Sternum Strap: Fasten the sternum strap across your chest and adjust its height and tension to relieve pressure on your shoulders and stabilize the pack.
Hydration Bladder (Optional): If using a water reservoir, fill it, then slide it into the internal sleeve. Thread the drinking tube through the designated port at the top of the pack, usually located near the shoulder strap.
Hydration Bladders: Compatible with most standard hydration bladders up to a 2-liter capacity. Ensure the bladder fits the internal sleeve dimensions.
Walking Poles: Designed to securely hold most collapsible walking poles using the external loops.
Everyday Items: Easily accommodates laptops up to 13-14 inches in the main compartment, though without a dedicated padded sleeve.
Cleaning:
Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt, wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Deep Cleaning: Hand wash the rucksack in a tub or large sink with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
Drying: Hang the rucksack upside down in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat to air dry completely. Ensure it's fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
Maintaining Water Repellency: The PFC-free DWR coating may wear off over time. You can restore it using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor gear, following the product's instructions.
Zipper Care: Keep zippers clean from dirt and debris. If they become stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax can help them glide smoothly.
Storage: Store the rucksack in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid compressing it excessively for long periods.
