I have the 55L one, the pocket inside is perfect for a wood stove and lots of room to put gear in.The straps are really comfortable on the shoulders, overall good pack.
I have a woodstove that will fit inside nicely. I finished watching your presentation and then I went and looked for the best price and just bought it. It will be here in a couple days. I've got other backpacks & Rucks from Other outings and when you showed in your video how many adjustment straps there are for a good comfortable fit, that put the nail in the coffin for me. So I bought it. Thank you for the demonstration. Your presentation was spot on. Thanks again.
Excellent video my friend. Very well explained and presented. I’m getting the 75L Black and can’t wait to use it. Thanks for the upload of this video! Very informative. 🤙👍🤙
Nice review. Cada día estoy más convencido de que no es necesario pagar 400€ para tener una buena mochila que te permita pasar unos días en la montaña. Esta es la prueba.
Great Review...I Use Mine As A Winter Backpack...I Don't Hike Any But This Pack I Have Everything But Tent In It...I Can Stuff Extra Blankets And Such...
I am going on a month long expedition to Kyrgyzstan and I will be staying in the mountains without much opportunity to go into civilization for all that time. I will be hiking mountains at high altitude and I am debating wether to have this or the more heavier Osprey Aether Plus 70L. Both are good but this just feels soft and cushy to wear not to mention there is no issue at all with space, however it does leech water pretty bad if you don't put up the rain cover. I have yet to test the Osprey without its rain cover. I use Dry bags in any case so shouldn't be too much of an issue. The Osprey has so many adjustments but it can barely fit a 4 season sleeping bag length ways, it is quite the squeeze and also this means all my other gear struggles to fit. However the Mardingtop can do all of that and have plenty of room for more. I love the belt on the Marding because the right hand puch actually pushes through and you can store a water bottle in there on your hip belt which is crazy to me! I would say the slight downside for hiking with the Mardingtop is that it isn't as rigid so it "sloshes" around as you walk and if you are hiking for 8 hours a day then this could get bothersome, but I have yet to try it. I am stuck between which one to take on my trip and would love to hear any body's expert opinion on which one I should take.
@@Soli_Deo_Gloria_. I'll give an update. So I did my expedition and everyone loved my bag however it was not comfortable and all the weight was mostly on my shoulders. I ended up having to borrow one which hada much better waist strap.
75 liter, sounds very heavy when filled, needs a lot of power energie and slows down, but when needed. Quick Oats? Ah I learn something new, never heard from that one , I am from Germany, I took a look and now I know.
I love the concept, many pockets for organizartion and the opening front is great. But unfortunately, it failed me on a three day hike with 12kg. Got a Gregory instead, much better durability.
Dang thats too bad! I personally have not had a problem with it and I've put way more than 12kg in it. but to each his own! Glad you got a better pack now. Thanks for stoppping by
Thank you very much for your answer, I still have not received my 75-liter backpack, in the photos on the website and in Amazon the photos have the lashing on the lid, and since you are so kind, tell me something else, are you happy with the backpack? mardintop 75? have you put it to good use? is it resistant? I only speak Spanish, that's why I don't quite understand what you say in your review, to write you I use the google translator, again, thank you very much, Santiago Mindel.
Hola, estoy feliz de responder! Estoy muy contento con el paquete. Está bien construido. Lo he usado bastante en varios viajes. Duradero, mucho espacio. No puedo comentar sobre la resistencia a la intemperie, lluvia ligera, estoy seguro de que estaría bien por un tiempo, pero si tienes cualquier cantidad de lluvia, creo que absorbería bastante la lluvia. Podrías encerar las partes del paquete que entrarían en contacto con la lluvia. O ponga una bolsa de basura en el paquete para mantener el agua de su equipo. ¡Gracias por los comentarios!
Quick question: When quite heavily loaded (let's say 18kg / 40lbs) does the hip belt take a significant amount of load off of the shoulder straps? I ask because my current rucksack is wanting to sever my arms from my torso due to the hip belt not really doing it's job 😂
Hello, I'm looking at you from the other side of the world, from South America, tell me something about the mardingtop 75, it has ribbons with clasps on the top of the lid and did you remove them? because on the web and on amazon, the photos of this backpack show lashing straps at the top, regards and thank you very much, santiago mindel.
HI! Nice to hear from a viewer from far off! I did not remove the lashings, as there were none. Perhaps you are looking at a different model? Thanks for the comment and have a good day.

I've had my Mardingtop 75 for over a year and it lets me carry everything I want to take and a little more

Awesome! Hope you like it! It's a great bag!
Buen video , excelente mochila y material de buena calidad yo tengo dos Mardingtop de 25 litros son perfectas para el trabajo e ir al bosque.
Son resistente al agua?

Great review!
Hey, thinking about getting one.. how did your hold up?
Held up great! Would recommend 100%
Nice one Gabe.
Nice bag, great review
Thank you so much!
Nice video review
Thanks!

I would say it does help a decent amount.
@@MySide cool, thanks 👍
Is this backpack water-resistant?
No.
Hello, are you still using this backpack? is it still working well? Has something broken? thank you so much.
Hi! Yes till using it, still going strong! Used it for 4 day backpacking hike in the spring.
@@MySide Thank you very much for your quick response, cordial greetings from the other side of the world.
Thank you so much!@@santiagomindel4642
how's the 600D polyester holding up? it should be weaker than cordura but it is also cheaper
Good! That being said I haven't been using it too much but so far it's holding up great!
Well done sir. How much did you pay for this pack and how much was shipping?
Not sure about shipping but I think I paid around $130 CAD for the bag.

How about a one year use review?did it keep bein a good bag or fail?
Didn't fail, still a good bag! I may decide to do that review.

Nice Bag
I love it!
I have a question, not about the pack but something I've noticed for winter camping. Does anybody use a sled to carry extra gear if so is there anything out there that can be used all 4 seasons?
Yes, people do use sleds to carry gear for sure. The tent that I use from pomoly is a 4 season tent. Lots of tents are 4 seasons.
Thanks for watching!
im guessing it doesnt have the internal frame?
No but it has a plastic sheet kinda to give it form.
@@MySide I'm confused some say it have internal frame and you say there is just plastic sheet. Are you sure it's just plastic sheet?
I'm sure with my model yes@@sergeyloverow2105
Link to the scam website. 6 days after the purchase was made, still no answer or updates.
I'm very sorry to hear that. I have removed the link from the description to avoid further confusion and possible scam.
@@MySide It's fine.. where did you buy yours then?
please tell me de link name, thank
