Wisport has presented two new backpack models this year. One of them is the modernized CRAFTER model, which now has a rather clearly descriptive "Overload" tag. This suggests that the already capacious backpack is now able to be expanded.
Below the characteristic zipper opening, there is another one under which there is an extension. Thanks to this, the backpack can provide an additional 20% of cargo space inside. It is true that a lighter fabric was used there, which is less resistant to wear and tear. Nevertheless, it is an interesting solution when, for example, we have to pack something and would like to store it in the main compartment.
The method of adjustment has also changed, now it moves on the frame, and the stabilization and fastening is provided by double-sided Velcro. This is a kind of return to the roots, because a similar solution for wedging the position has been on the market for a long time. This was done for a good reason, it is simple and effective. The frame itself remains unchanged and finally it is worth noting that the entire carrying system is still connected to it, which has a positive effect on ergonomics.
Once again, the MAGNUM backpack has been presented, which differs from the previously presented one at IWA fair. Although the changes are more aesthetic, they also slightly affect its usability. The new features are the mounting straps running along the entire length of the front, to which you can attach stuff.
Looking at the size, practically nothing has changed here and it still has about 18 liters of capacity. The foldable side pockets and high straps are worth noting. This allows to carry a large water bottle or a heavy tool that is to be located close at hand.
