Macpac Tuatara 25L rucksack review

Quick mini review on the Macpac Tuatara 25 (I think!), sadly seemingly retired now from the Macpac range. It seems to have been replaced by the Rapaki 26.

Here's the Macpac link anyhow - http://www.macpac-europe.eu/tuatara-20.html

Macpac Tuatara 25

Just doing this review because I love this little pack so much - it's been up mountains, on coastal paths, on days out and carried loads of guitar gear and

This is a 25L rucksack with a webbed waist belt, a carry handle, hydration bladder, three zipped compartments and an inner pocket with a key hold. There's a recessed separate inner for carrying things you need to keep safe.

This pack is also weatherproofed and tough as nails.

Back of the Macpac Tuatara 25

The back is pretty padded around the shoulders and lower back and fits well to the back. A perfect rugged day sack for out and about. After around 6 years the pack is still going incredibly strong!

I imagine the Rapaki will be just as good! Only real difference seems to be the lack of bungee on the front of the Rapaki compared to the Tuatara.

Update 2022 - this rucksack is still going. Tough as nails! Pretty sure it was 25L not 20L.
