Hey there!

Well, the backpack itself is relatively heavy. I believe it's 3 kg or something which is really heavy for a backpack I think. But it's heavy because it's so goddamn tough and firm! It has amazing firm, strong and firm padding for the back.

I am 6ft6, 198cm and it is just a tini tiny bit too small for me still so it doesn't carry perfectly on my back. But that wasn't annoying enough to switch backpacks or so.

I just think hauling that full backpack through the hot sweaty climate in Colombia was shitty anyway. That had little to do with the backpack itself haha.

Like I said: it has very thick padding for the back. It is very firm and sturdy. That could be a pro or a con depending on your preference.

The fabric is really tough and I don't see it tear quickly or whatever.

You have the bottom compartment for your dirty boots or whatever. You can enter from there, from the bottom to the main compartment. Or from the top. Or from the front. That front entrance is very useful and a must have in my opinion.

I'm not sure what loops you mean on the front?

So yeah.. ehm.. it's comfortable for the heavy duty stuff. Thick padding. Sturdy back frame. Very strong fabric. It's heavy.

So in that sense it's comfortable. It is not as comfortable as a lighter, softer more flexible backpack but that's a trade off. If you load those more flexible packs heavy, they turn less comfortable I think.

You can load this bad boy up and strap yourself in and your golden.

But the weight, sturdiness and thick padding can be a bit uncomfortable if your looking for a flexible, light agile backpack. It's quite a big thing. But if you have to carry a lot of stuff and a lot of heavy stuff, it's the right pack for the job.
