Thank you for reaching out about the SSI Merchandise – SSI International Dive Team Backpack Cruise. I’m happy to help. According to our product specifications, the weight of this backpack is approximately 2.6 pounds. This makes it a great option for lightweight travel. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Ryan Lee –
Will this backpack be suitable for hiking in rugged terrain?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out to us about your question, Ryan. While our SSI International Dive Team Backpack is a high-quality bag designed for carrying dive gear, it may not be the most suitable choice for hiking in rugged terrain. The bag is made from heavy-duty nylon and has reinforced stitching, but its design prioritizes comfort and functionality for dive trips rather than extreme outdoor activities. For a more rugged terrain, we’d recommend a backpack with more intensive weatherproofing and reinforcing features. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
