Title: The best backpack!
Review: It’s the best backpack for hiking! So comfortable, good quality and the size is perfect for 2 or 3 days. It has a lot of pockets. It’s a little heavy when is empty but it’s the best option for the price.

Title: This Pack is amazing. It's low-priced, high quality and a perfect size.
Review: So far, I have taken this thing on a week long trip through India, where it was strapped to the back of a motorcycle as I rode through the himalayas (I'm not kidding here). It held up great and the rainfly was very useful and easy to put over it when it poured on us. The pack endured heavy strain as it was packed to the brim and strapped down hard every day and came out without a scratch (I was surprised about that).So far I've also used it on multiple hikes and hunting trips through thick brush and between 3 deer I've packed out over 200 lb of venison in the mountains in Utah and Washington. I've thrown it through the washer to clean out all of the blood and it came out like new.The only wear I've seen on mine is a couple of threads have loose on the bottom where it hides the rain fly, but it doesn't affect anything serious on the pack. It's already well outlived its price and It's got to have at least enough life to redo everything I've already done with it based on its current condition.Pros:Extremely durablegreat price (gives you more peace of mind when being rough with it)great size, perfect for carry-on (taken on around 10+ flights, never a problem)fairly light when emptyConvenient storage on top pouch with an underside zip up pocket for more protected items.Pretty comfortable, even when filled with 60+ pounds of meat.Holds Mountain Dew well.ConsI wish the waist fabric things were the smaller size, as I don't keep it buckled in very often and they get in the way if I forget to buckle them behind the pack.Did not come with delicious bacon.One of the drink holders is slightly smaller than the other, making it more effort to get my large size (in diameter) nalgene bottle in it. It still fits, but it's hard to put in one handed while its still on my back, the other pocket is easier like I said.The internal frame bars are hard to get back in, I washed it once with them in and took them out for a second wash, I wish I had left them in both times. I had to stick my hand on the inside and guide them past some material that was inside the frame pocket.

Title: Just finished packing for a weekend trip. w/edited update
Review: To start, I'm 6'1" 185 lbs and bought this pack for me for the purpose of 2-3-day back country camping trips with 5-10 mile backpack hikes through mountainous terrain, which I've been doing regularly for the past 25 years or so. I'm a bit of a minimalist, so no fancy propane stoves, lanterns, or the like for me, and i was hopeful this pack -with its advertised smaller size- might be a good fit my purposes as most packs of mine end up with a lot of empty space I don't use. I was pleased with the look out of the box. Zippers and seams appear strong, intelligent design with plenty of pouches and places to tie stuff, such as my cooking pot, on the outside. It took a little figuring to sort the straps for my height and get the waist belt resting on my hips instead of cinched around my guts. Although I manged it in a totally satisfactory way, ideally, I may be a little tall for the pack and would imagine it'd fit better if I were a few inches shorter. As far as it's size vs my wide shouldered average adult male frame, it fits wonderfully with no indication of being too small to affect mobility or add extra joint pain at the end of 5-10 mile walk through rugged terrain than any other pack would. My one struggle with the pack was attempting to fit my 10-degree mummy bag (an average adult bag you'd pay $60 for at a store) in it's stuff sack into the bottom sleeping bag compartment. There's simply no way I was gonna fit it in, and i even tried taking it out of the stuff sack to try and stuff it in the compartment alone. No go. Thankfully, the sleeping bag compartment has an internal zipper that can be opened to allow it to be joined with the main pack compartment, which i did and simply stuffed my bag and stuff sack in from the top of the main compartment with no struggle and no discomfort upon putting it on my back and walking down my road a bit. However, after adding my tent to its proper place on the outside bottom and throwing a small tarp in the pack, the space remaining is not great. Because I'm a minimalist, generally needing only plenty of socks, a hoodie, and maybe a set of thermals, I'll be fine having enough space for 3 days food and my remaining gear. I pack my water off my belt loops, so i haven't looked at the water bladder and don't intend to.So, to summarize, I wanted to write this review for anyone who might be looking at this pack for similar stuff that I do. It's price and quality are solid. And it will suit my situation wonderfully. If you want to pack a 10-piece orchestra and your entire wardrobe and stay gone for 7 days, you may want to consider something larger. Once I've gotten some use out of it, I'll hand this pack down to my 5'8" 120 lbs daughter, whom it will fit wonderfully, and buy one a bit bigger for me. Quite likely my new one will be Teton as well based on the winning balance of price vs quality of this of this pack. 4 stars is the best I can give without having spent more time punishing it outdoors.Update: I've now taken this pack on 4 trips, which included a number of miles off trail bushwhacking through brush, climbing over deadfall, and scaling rocks. The pack is handling it all fine with no signs of failure. I've used the rainfly in action and can confirm it's well designed and does its job. Over these four trips, I've become more sure that this pack is not suitable for my 6'1" height (however, i've made it work with no discomfort and only minor annoyance), so i just received Teton's Hiker 3700 today for me and gave this pack to my shorter daughter. Ratings change to 5 well deserved stars.

Title: Nice Quality But Large Backpack
Review: I like this but the 65L was larger than I wanted and I should have waited for the next smaller size to be available again instead of buying this. That said the backpack is great, sturdy and hold a heck of a lot. So great for those that want to carry 2 weeks of supplies or more. Was easy to adjust and has all the features and pockets I need. All in all a very nice backpack and highly recommended for the price. Empty weight is good and construction is great. Time will tell how it holds up. The rain cover is good to and no issues so far in NW rain. Unless you are willing to spend much more for a very very light weight pack I would recommend this.

Review: This is the second one we have bought in a year. The only reason it hasn't gotten a five star is because I really wish there was a phone or snack pack in the wiste belt. The adjustable back makes the fit awesome. It's fits bulky light items like the Teton adult sleeping bag, sleep mat, as well as clothes' food' hydration bladder and hammock with tarp. Affordable (if you wait for prime days or price drop). I love the adjustable back which can go super short or tall for fullsize adult female body. Means I don't have to invest is more than one child sized camping pack. Even weighing them for my kids for proper packing weight means they can help carry things without discomfort or being overburdened and I didn't have to pay double to get into ultralight packing. Love this so much

Review: I'v got about 25# in it so far. Even a fullsize axe fits nicely close to the body for efficient weight bearing. I think even though it has great storage options, I might still want a belt to carry the "need to carry" things.You can safely overpack if needed; it has some decent ways to "dangle" pots & pans etc. Sleeping roll goes on last and is not utilizing precious space. Good elastic cord for last minute items like a jacket on the outside.

Review: Una gran mochila. De hecho la compré, porque justo tengo otras mochilas de esas marca,son de buena calidad y duraderas. Lo único que noté que no me agrado tanto, es que en lafoto el color se mira morado y cuando me llegó es como guinda, tipo vino, no está feo el colores bonito, pero sinceramente yo la encargué por el color, porque yo quería una morada y comotengo una verde y me gustaba mucho, quería por el color morado.
