Since I have sold my car, I am using my Karrimor 10 nearly every day. Either with use on my bike, or for walking. It has become my pack of choice from the two other back packs, both from well known manufacturers, I also own. So I have found that I need a larger size back pack. After examining several other makes of back packs in stores in East Kent, I still find I prefer the Karrimor. It is rugged, well made and fortunately, waterproof. The zips work each time, and work fluently. They don’t snag – thank goodness. The padding at the back is well cushioned, so to the arm straps. The inside is well finished, with an inner lining, rather than just a coating. The internal pocket organiser is especially useful now, and I have noted how well just that particular facility in itself, has been designed. It takes my keys, bus pass, loose change, and mobile phone. By using the Karrimor each day, whether on the bike, walking, or using the bus I have also discovered how tactile the material is.
The bottom line now has to be this. I shall keep to Karrimor, but will buy one in a larger size, which will be more suited now to my new demands. It is that simple.
