Solid all-round backpack
Asivik Adventure 65 is a durable all-round hiking backpack that is both a good choice in the mountains, where the 65 liters provide space for what you need for a week’s hike, and at the same time the backpack is suitable for travel, scout camps, interrail and world travel.
Adventure 65 is built with a stable back that is reinforced with two aluminum rails, so you can really pack the backpack well without compromising on comfort. The backpack is equipped with an easily adjustable carrying system that is equipped with color markings, so you can easily remember your setting if there are several of you using the backpack. The carrying system is generally suitable for those who measure between 165 and 185 cm.
The stable hip belt is made of several layers of EVA foam, which provides both stability and comfort. It is shaped so that it fits well around the hips and grips well, so that you get a good weight transfer, where it is the large muscles in the thighs and legs that primarily carry and lift, so that the back and shoulders are well relieved.
The hip belt is equipped with zippered pockets that are spacious enough to store a smartphone, snacks, a small amount of sunscreen, or anything else you want to have close at hand…
The shoulder straps can be optimally adjusted to you and still fit perfectly after a long day of hiking. The straps are made of 1 cm thick EVA, which is both comfortable and distributes the pressure from the supporting webbing strap well over the entire carrying surface.
To provide the best possible comfort, both the hip belt and shoulder straps are equipped with 3D mesh, which provides reasonable ventilation and thus better comfort.
Easy to pack and organize
It’s easy to see what you’ve packed in your Adventure backpack, as you can access the backpack both at the top and via the sturdy zipper, which allows you to open the backpack almost like a duffel bag.
When you open the front flap, it is equipped with two storage pockets on the inside for small items that you want to have easy access to and that you don’t want to disappear into the depths of the backpack.
In the main compartment itself, there is an extra pocket along the back for your hydration system, and of course there is the option to pull out the hose and mouthpiece so you can easily meet your hydration needs during the day.
TIP: If you need to have extra control over the contents of your backpack, it’s a good idea to pack in “cubes” or mesh bags to keep the bits and pieces organized.
Lots of pockets
The backpack is also well equipped with external and easily accessible pockets.
On the top lid there is a spacious top pocket that is great for a rain cover, headlamp or a cup, so it’s close at hand if you want to drink from a spring or stream along the way.
Inside the top pocket there is a small mesh pocket, which is good for small items and valuables such as a wallet and car key.
There are two elastic and surprisingly spacious side pockets that can be used for a little bit of everything. Use them for your water bottle, for example, or to keep fishing and tent poles from slipping out from under the compression straps if they are placed on the side of the backpack.
On the front of the Adventure 65 is a large elastic front pocket that is almost indispensable. On a hiking day when the weather is changeable, it is perfect for your rain gear, so it is close at hand. It is also brilliant for the fleece you might start the day in, which you will quickly need to be able to put away when you have warmed up. You can also use the pocket for the day’s lunch ration or your brought stool for the break. The possibilities are almost endless…
In addition to the many pockets, there are many good fastening options on the backpack, so you can easily attach a couple of packing straps and fasten the mat, solar panel or other items to the outside of the backpack.
There is also the option to attach hiking poles, ice axes or similar to the front.
All in all, the Asivik Adventure 65 is a solid and well-made backpack with a wealth of good and practical details and solutions, and it will definitely be a good companion on all your adventures.
