These G-Rollz papers are crafted in France using finely pressed organic hemp fibres and acacia tree sap as an all-natural gumline. Personally I think I won’t get them again, as if I’m accessing the pack a lot the process of unclipping twice, unrolling, to get something out then doing the reverse is a bit annoying. Lastly swapping the aluminium stays for carbon and integrating them inside the pack would complete the deal for me.

In my experience with a ~40L pack size from KS Ultralight (they are very well made packs by the way…worth getting), the joker hat system works best when the pack is more full.

Top closure by simple and convenient by draw cord and 13 mm webbing strap (about 60 cm), which is fixed between the start of the shoulder straps up to the front pocket, making a load lifters effect . It ranges from 0 to 100, 0 meaning a very common coin or banknote and 100 meaning a rare coin or banknote among Numista members.The longest hike I’ve done so far with the KS50 is 3 days and had no trouble packing everything I needed. It is easier to use than the dry bag type but not water tight to the same extent, though it keeps rain away fairly well if not stuffed to the top. Like what I wrote above regarding the internal pocket the issue could be remedied if it were ever so slightly thicker.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. To fit inside the pocket, items must be significantly thinner than the circumference, especially if the bag is rounded in its contents. It’s run by French expat Laurent Barikosky who has been fabricating lightweight and durable backpacks for hiking and climbing from his home base in Komaki City north of Nagoya since 2009.Having read the packs run a bit short I opted for the 50 cm pack which fits fine although next time I would probably ask Laurent to make it a centimetre longer.
