The two side mesh pockets are small but can still fit a point and shoot camera in its pouch or a small water bottle.įinally, the front pocket with its vertical zipper is big enough for a few snacks, maps and other small elements but be careful when opening it because everything that is not in the small mesh pocket inside tend to jumps out. The main pocket also has a small hoop to hang a hydration bladder, with the H2O hole situated right above it. The zipped top lid pocket of the Berghaus Freeflow 20 is great and will accommodate phone, keys, sunglasses and wallet without problems within accessible reach. The main pocket is not very roomy and has an awkward space due to the curved plastic frame but thanks to the zipper opening almost half way down the pack you can still fill it pretty well or reach the bottom without having to take everything out. The design is pretty streamline, with no compression straps and other bits to get in the way. After the 8 months using my Berghaus Freeflow 20 it is still in very good condition with minimum wear at the bottom and hip belt areas. ![]() The general construction of the pack is good with different types of fabric like nylon, nylon ripstop, and mesh used in different areas. The pack weights 843g (1.8 lbs) on my scale, slightly heavier than the announced 760g (1.7 lb) on Berghaus‘ website but the difference could be because I have the older version of the model. Suspended back panels add weight of course but the very simple construction here keeps it to a minimum. This is because the bottom part is made of stronger nylon ripstop to support the adjustable chest strap. However only the top half of the shoulder straps breathe well. I found the Berghaus Freeflow system to work reasonably well at keeping my back dry. The shoulder straps are made out of breathable foam with holes cut in it, sandwiched in two layers of mesh on the top half. Its primary feature is its Freeflow system, Berghaus’ own suspended back panel design which minimize the contact between your back and the rucksack.įreeflow consists of a rigid and curved plastic panel and two straps of highly breathable nylon mesh between the shoulder straps and the lower back, similar to some sort of bow. The Freeflow 20 is a small 20L backpack big enough for the average day outdoor. ![]() Here is what she thinks of it after 8 months of regular usage. Looking at replacing a damaged rucksack for day-hike use, Marie picked up the Berghaus Freeflow 20 with its suspended back panel and compact size.
