One of my bigger backpacks I've been using is the Sumo 95 from the Swedish Company Haglöfs. This pack has been Haglöfs biggest expedition backpack for some years but is now replaced by LEX 80 and LEX 110. Sumo 95 is a robust bag with clever solutions, like for instance the top lid that can be removed and used as a separate hip bag. Sumo 95 have a high profiled shape and is equipped with a strong and comfortable carry system, this product is made for heavy loads. After a couple of months of usage Haglöfs contacted me and advised me to return the pack cause they had detected a quality issue on some of the Sumos. Although my bag hadn't shown Any signs of failor, I took the offer and sent Haglöfs my Sumo 95. The Company stood for the costs and returned my backpack after additional sewing had been done to strengthen the weight distribution system called Spear. There's always sad when quality campaigns is needed, but my hat off Haglöfs for a well executed campaign.
I have used this Sumo 95 for some years now and I'm very pleased with it. This is a big and robust pack but once fitted on the back it feels slim. I've heard some complains on the height of the pack and the risk of bumping the back of your head into the bag while hiking, but this is nothing I've experienced. I like the good quality, the easy to reach pockets and the nice carry system's high capacity. Below you can see a more detailed technical specification that I borrowed from my friends at Tradeinn.
