The Maelstrom Hiking Backpack is a versatile and reliable backpack designed for hiking and camping trips. It offers a spacious 40L capacity and comes with a rain cover to protect your belongings from water. One customer mentioned using the backpack as their personal item on a flight without any issues. However, it's important to note that the backpack may not fit into some personal item sizers if fully packed and not compressible. The hip belt storage is spacious enough to fit a large cellphone with a Spigen case, according to another customer. While the backpack is water-resistant and comes with a separate rain fly, it may not be suitable for immersion in deep water. Users have reported that the backpack and its contents got soaked even with the rain cover on during heavy rains. The backpack is adjustable and can be shortened to fit individuals of different heights. One customer, who is 6'1", found the backpack comfortable to wear. The backpack is foldable but may still take up some space due to the bulk added by the hip straps. Customers have reported that the backpack can handle weights ranging from 8 kg to 12-35 lbs without any issues. It has enough room to fit a 17" laptop. In terms of customer reviews, one customer expressed disappointment with the water resistance of the backpack and rain cover, noting that all four bags they purchased got soaked in heavy rain. On the other hand, other customers have praised the backpack for its roomy compartments, comfortable straps, and durability. It has been used for various activities, including hiking, camping, and even carrying throwing axes. Overall, the Maelstrom Hiking Backpack offers a decent combination of storage capacity, adjustable fit, and durability. However, its water resistance capabilities might not be as reliable as advertised.
