Any reviews on Stikage backpacks/rucksacks. i need one for upcoming trek in December. Any other store in delhi which stocks decent rucksacks?

AFAIK Wildcraft are amongst the best mass producers of quality Backpack in India (may be there are other who export, no presence in India).
I have personally vised their Bangalore showroom and the range/quality of the bags are good as many US/European manufacturers. Haven t seen Strikage stuff, but from photos, the finishing suggest inferior workmanship (and material/overall quality). there this Quechua (Decathlon) recently entered India market. They are also good (UK brand if I am correct)

Here it is said that Quechua is the No. 1 French brand.

I already saw that. Thanks a lot. But it does not help my purpose as i want to see the backpack before buying. Cant count on wildcraft / decathlon as they do not have any branch in delhi.
