 Excellent ValueFeb 10, 2009
By Randy Hillyard
I got my pack in today and the first thing I did was inspect it from top to bottom. Everything seems to be well made, well stiched, and very durable. It has alot of pockets, extra tie downs for add on's, and the waist/shoulder straps seem to be well padded.
It did not specify in the description, but it does have a place to put a water bladder with an exit hole for the tube.
As in other reviews one complaint was stiff zippers, but I found the zippers to open easily, they are large zippers with cord attached, the only difficulty I had was with the zipper on the bottom section and it wasn't the zipper that caused the problem, but the flap that covered it, however I found this to be a problem on all of the packs I have looked at.
I looked at alot of packs at many different stores. Prior to finding this pack, I was about to spend $180 for one the same size, it did carry a life time warranty, however no more than I paid for this pack, I can afford to replace it if it gets damaged beyond repair.
I originally gave this pack a good review, however I used my pack for the first time this past weekend and the quality of this pack is horrible...on the very first day of the hike a zipper broke, and the belt fastener of the waist band broke. On the second day i was securing my sleeping bag and the strap broke, so i had to finish my hike without a waist strap and i had to tie my sleeping bag onto my pack. I am currently trying to find out how to contact the company so i can see about getting my money back.

Surprisingly, worth more than I paid !!!Oct 28, 2008
By G. Risner
Worth more than I paid, (don't tell the manufacturer) - I am a big guy at 6"1" 250lbs. This pack adjusted to fit me just right. The straps are all double stitched, the fabric is of a good quality, and all potential weak points are reinforced. I didn't expect much in the way of quality or features based on its price, but once it arrived I was very impressed. So much so that I called a buddy of mine who is also a Scout leader and he purchased one that day. We both used them last weekend. My buddy is approximately 5' 10" 180 lbs and the pack adjusted to fit him just fine. Once adjusted properly, you hardly notice the 40-50lbs on your back that is because it transfers the weight to your hips. This is a perfect pack for all normal Scout outings. I cannot tell the difference between this and a $150+ pack that you can buy at REI. Maybe it weights ½ lb more? The only drawback I can see is that it does not have a built in rain cover. But for the price and weight I will carry a tarp that I can serve a dual purpose and can be placed under my tent.

 Bring Spare Parts!Apr 27, 2009
By R. Timmerman
One mile into my first trip with this pack, the clasp on the hip belt broke. Fortunately, my hiking buddy had a spare on him and I was able to replace it. Other than this, the pack performed well. It's a good price, but I recommend keeping spare parts on hand.

Just ok, great for beginners, not for avid hikersDec 03, 2010
By Jackson
I took this on a 75 mile loop through the BWCA. So I was canoeing, hiking & portaging. I really put this pack to use. I found the shoulder straps, and waist straps to be uncomfortable after awhile. I placed extra shirts under the straps for extra padding. They rubbed my shoulders almost raw towards the end of my trip. During the trip I had busted a zipper, and after the trip I noticed that rips/holes were forming on the side pockets at at the very bottom wear I had threw my pack down after long portages and what not. I don;t treat my camping gear with too much care, because after all its camp equipment. Its meant to be rugged and withstand that abuse. After long exhausting hikes, the last thing I think about is putting my pack down gently.
There is a ton of room in this thing. You can fit a weeks and weeks worth of gear into it. But the more weight the more your shoulders will suffer from the so so straps. It can be adjusted a lot which is nice. Once one adjustment got unbearable you could adjust slightly to relieve some of the pain. This was a continuous cycle.
It got wet a bunch during the trip. It dry's somewhat fast when empty and if there's a nice breeze. Once wet its heavy! The material used absorbs the water and holds it until you do something about it.
Good pack though, if your a beginner and don't plan on huge adventures in rugged terrain then this pack is great! I would recommend this pack for mild explorers!!!
Cheers!

 Great for weekendsJul 30, 2009
By Ryan E. Craig
I took my first hiking trip this spring. I purchased this bag because of its low cost and good ratings. The bag held everything that I needed, but didn't carry the weight well. After about 2 days the bottom strap broke... while I was on the top of one of the trails in the Smokies. I think the build of this bag is great other than that and it kept everything dry in the rain. If I wasn't by myself and carrying everything on my own, it would have handled the wight and load just fine. If you need a good weekend bag, this one will be great!
