I bought this a few years ago when I decided to start backpacking. I've been storing it at home, but I'm selling it to organize my belongings. * It shows some signs of use. * The drawcord has become less smooth due to aging. * There are no tears. The following is the product description from the manufacturer: The "Makalu Series" is the most faithful to the origins of mountaineering backpacks. Its design concept is favored by professionals, achieving weight reduction and low cost by eliminating unnecessary embellishments. We highly recommend this to those who are perplexed by the increasing number of straps and the weight of recent backpacks. The shoulder pads are curved to fit the body better. The back uses a chevron cut that easily conforms to the body's curves. The large top pocket is even more user-friendly. You can also attach optional Croire parts using the same "retractable ice axe band" system as the Croire series. The material is sturdy 840dnHD nylon (HD = High Density). https://arai-tent.co.jp/lineup/backpack/makalu.html
