Technicals Metropolis 33L Backpack

Excellent quality and great price in the black Friday sale

I got this in Black Friday deal, and was really reasonable compared to other places for smaller or similar bags.
I struggled to find a bag big enough with enough compartments which was in between a hiking bag or 1 too small to put what I need when we go out as a family.
My only criticism is the side pocket (where I put drinks bottles) as it’s not very long, but does have a strap to hold top of bottle which made it work.

I've tried a few (mainly one brand) and ALWAYS lost things in various inner pockets.
I use backpacks for shopping (not hiking) and Technicals Metropolis seems ideal for me, durable, excellent value-for-money etc. This one has a large capacity and few un-needed pockets.
I have cut off some outer plastic clips and elastic (not for the first time!) and I will cut off the nets used for drinks bottles.
I wanted black (unavailable) BUT now I'm happy with dark blue!

Bought in the sale. Great size, excellent quality. Love the air circulation on back. Loads of room in compartments with sections to separate items. Good to have option of holding 2 drinks bottles as well as clasps on side for poles etc.

Good price and very spacious ..two good pockets within the backpack which are deep ..Back support is excellent..highly recommended

Good all round backpack with multiple pockets providing ample storage for most items; including a padded section for a laptop or tablet.
Excellent price, delivery and communication from Blacks.
Rated five stars on price. Four stars for material and construction.
I would expect several years of general usage before it starts to fall apart.

An excellent daypack / commuter pack. 33l is a perfect size for the day user. It easily takes a laptop and provides ample padded protection. Plenty of additional space for other items. External side pockets for easy access to water bottle. Some deep pockets give confidence to store phone and wallet. Straps are well padded and it comes with a chest strap for additional security. A robust, well made bag.

My son uses this as a school bag and it has lots of useful sections and plenty of space for folders and books. Looks well made, so hopefully it will last.

Perfect for everyday use or going that little bit further

Delighted to find this in the sale and it's just right for it's purpose

I was looking for a bag to convert to a camera bag and this was recommended by a member of staff. I can get a Lowepro creator bag (L) and a Peak Designs travel tripod in the main compartment with no problem. That still leaves a lot of space! Its comfy on the back with the chest and waist straps taking the weight. The Peak Design Capture clip fits on the shoulder strap, so I am well pleased with the bag. At £15 it was a bargain!!

The £90 suggested original price must be a joke, if you can get it for £30 on special offer then it's a big bag for the money, a little bit cheaply made but to be expected perhaps. Generally it's a bit floppy, zips fiddly and can snag/catch so hard to operate one-handed if you need to. Easy to lose stuff in it as there are so many compartments! Nice colour. Perhaps 3 stars is a bit harsh, you get what you pay for at the end of the day (but please don't pay £90!!!!!)

An excellent rucksack, which is just the right size for my needs!
A good price too I think.
Many useful pockets/compartments in it too.
I would recommend this product to anyone…

Good capacity Good looks Good value

well made, great capacity

Needed a new rucksack this one specifically designed for commuting and carrying laptop. Plenty of different sections to use, all zipper open / close, good strong comfortable straps. Does the job!

It feels like good quality bag

I've been searching for a new rucksack ever since my old one from a cheaper shop tore and became unusable but it has been surprisingly difficult to find one on the market that has multiple compartments. I'm very happy I found this one. It has lots of different compartments including a small one inside the bag that zips up to store your wallet inside. Both the blue colour and the black are very stylish.

My only recommendation would be for Blacks to show the inside of the bag in the photographs as the selling point for me were all the compartments that most rucksacks lack.
