“I like that it's slimmer, but still a good capacity, as a solo traveller I need to be able to get it on/off the car. The slimness lets me get my arms around it though you still need to take care with the length.
When using it I basically piled all the light bulky camping in it, it freed up a lot of room in the car and made packing that a lot easier.
I will say at 6 foot tall I have no issues reaching into it, a shorter person might need a stool/step up.”
