Top opening (or top loading) opens the superior part of the bag, and it works better when youre carrying a laptop, tablet, notebook, etc
As with many Deuter daypacks, there are plenty of storage compartments including two side pockets for water bottles
We love recommending this pack to anyone who needs a reliable dry bag for outdoor activities near water like fishing, white water rafting or canoeing
Not Usable in the Rain even with a Rain Cover I purchased this backpack knowing full well that with exposed non-waterproof zippers, and with only one front panel being Cordura nylon (which is water-resistant), that the ACG Karst would not be a waterproof bag
Ms and Ws Pros and Cons: + Eco-friendly construction + Durable and easy to clean + Tons of pockets Heavy for its size Hipbelt rides up when the pack isnt loaded down Most daypacks are a variation on the same design, but NEMO went rogue with the Persist 30
