G'day Hayden, 

The depth dimension listed within the in-use dimensions does not include the harness and hip belt. There is nothing that states this bag is carry on approved, but from some quick research, it seems to be within most carry on luggage allowances when full. Check with your airline first though, to be sure!

G'day William,

The stock we have of the Black Wold Tempo 40L is the most recent 2017-2018 updated model. 

G'day Danny,

That's correct, as you can see from the images, the compression strap on the Black Wolf Tiempo is located at the top of the side pouch.

G'day Michelle,

I've just double checked with our backpack guru, Lisa & she told me that Black Wolf Tempo 40L Backpack will fit either a 2L or a 3L bladder. So feel free to grab whichever you'd prefer (or both of course) and it'll work a treat for you!

G'day Nick,

Thanks for pointing this out. The in-use dimensions of any backpack can always be a little open to interpretation depending on how much you want to squeeze into the bag. We try to double check all our specifications because we've often found the manufacturer to be incorrect for a range of reasons. I've just physically re-checked The Black Wolf Tempo 40L and with the pack filled without placing any pressure on seams or zips, the dimensions are as listed on our website - 33W x 54H x 24D cm.

I do recognise that we have our packed dimensions mixed up in terms of H, W and D and we'll look to fix this and get consistency between these two specifications today.

Yes that's right Sue, There's one main compartment with a sleeve for your bladder and then a small top pocket on the outside of the pack as well as a front side pocket.  Perhaps viewing the picture in different colours will give you a clearer view.

G'day Mal, 

The pole strap isn't readily available, but I've given the spare parts and warranties guy over at Black Wolf a call - and he isn't going to be in again until next Tuesday. 

He might be able to find one off an old pack and send it to us, so I will give him a call again on Tuesday and see if we can get our hands on one for you Mal. 

Hi Mal, 

I've got hold of the right person at Black Wolf, and the good news is that we are able to get a spare pole strap in. 

All we need from you is a few more contact details and a picture of the part of the bag missing the strap. If you could send us an email at service@snowys.com.au then we can get right on it.
