Kata R-103 Backpack

Review by USAIR.


Been using the Kata R-103 for about 4 months now and figured I give my impressions on this backpack.

The bag is about 17" high 13" wide 6" thick and almost 4lbs
The bag is very well made very strong and sturdy design.
It actually takes sometime to break in the bag very stiff when you first get it.
I holds almost everything I need to.

First photo shows the tripod holder and the two small outside storage pockets.

Also has room for a laptop here's my small 12" Vaio.

I haven't taken this on a real long hike but around town it's nice.
It didn't come with a waistbelt it's another part of system.

The backpack is just one part of the Kata system
There's a Torso Pack and a Waist Pack

Well hope this helped someone looking for a backpack.

Will this be my last bag...no I can't seem to get enough bags and stuff to put in them.
