Solid, with some flaws...Jan 13, 2009
By Tyler T. Kutz
I bought this backpack for a two day hike in the Superstition Mountains (Arizona). I was very pleased with the product but couldn't help but be annoyed with some of its features.
The Good:
It's HUGE! I was able to fit my share of the equipment and my sleeping bag INSIDE the backpack (and my sleeping bag is fairly large).
It's comfortable. Obviously lugging 50+ pounds up a mountain is hard, but this pack certainly helps out. A layer of padding is put in front of the frame to make it more comfortable on your back. The waist strap is also padded (make sure that strap is pulled tight!)
The Bad:
It has one large compartment, and four very small ones. Much of your gear will be thrown into one large space, making it difficult to retrieve a single item (unless it's on top).
The aforementioned main compartment does not have a zipper. It has a drawstring that will partially conceal the inside, and then the "flap" folds over the top. The flap has an elastic edge that stretches around the pack. The only problem is that unless the pack is stuffed full the elastic has nothing to stretch over, which leaves the inside unprotected. The top flap then buckles to the body of the pack.
The zippers are hard to open.
All in all, a good pack, especially for such a good price. I'm sure you could get a better product, but only if you're willing to fork over a lot more money.

 Great bagAug 04, 2008
By R. Schueler
I was a little skeptical becuase of how inexpensive it was (compared to other bags that seemed to be just like it), but I lugged it around Europe for 3 weeks and it worked great. Someone else mentioned the zippers were a little hard to zip, and they are, but I found that to be a very minor flaw. My traveling companion also got the same bag and liked his, too.

 Unless you like pain, spend more money and buy a better pack.Sep 14, 2009

The pack sags, and is extremely difficult to balance. On short hikes I barely notice, but after 7 or so miles my right shoulder and lower back start to ache. Ive spent entirely too much time trying to adjust the pack. There are no straps on the lower sides for adjustment, so you're left with the shoulder straps as one of the only means to adjust the pack. The only other way it adjusts is that the shoulder straps are removable, and can be raised or lowered depending on your preference and/or torso size. But this seems to be entirely for show as moving the straps doesn't seem to help.
Worst of all is that after about 7 miles I noticed my hands were swollen, which is an indication that the straps are cutting off circulation to my arms and hands, which is very uncomfortable, scary, and dangerous.
Other then that the pack is huge so should easily fit your gear. My sleeping bag fit easily in the compartment. My hydration pack fit easily into its compartment. The outside pockets are also very large and are great for packing your food, navigation, first-aid, and other equipment you want in easy reach. As others have mentioned however, the zippers are very stiff, and the buckle on the main belt has a tendency to pop out (I carried a spare just in case).
Overall I would say that if you plan on using this pack for short overnighters then it would work fine. But if you think you can take this pack on extended back country backpacks then you are mistaken. I would advise spending more money to get a better pack. This pack is a good price for people on a tight budget like me, but trust me, you get what you pay for.

So easy to use.. a 11 year old can even use it!Nov 22, 2008

I researched over and over for a camping backpack for my new Scout. After reading all of the reviews and saw the price, I decided to get it for my son. WOW!!!! This thing is AMAZING!! The zippers are a "tad" stiff but he could open and close them fine. The space is so much more then I thought, upon first looking at it. After being packed for a 4 day campout, I just know I must have forgotten something because there is still room for more! Tent, sleeping bag, clothing, toiletries, food, shoes, books, lanterns, and even water... it all fit! I never thought I would find something SO good at such a fantastic price!!!

Phenomenal for the price.Jul 15, 2009
By T. Walat
Ordered this for some recent backpacking on the Appalachian/Long Trail in Vermont. It poured buckets but this backpack was a champ. I used the straps on the bottom to secure both my sleeping pad and tent, then put my sleeping bag inside the bottom compartment. (It's really part of the main pouch, but you can cinch it with the drawstring to keep things separate.) Very well-thought out construction. There are two (count 'em) drawstrings at the top to cinch the main compartment snug from the elements -- and then the rain cover buckles down so there's really no shot of your your stuff getting drenched. Inside the main pouch along your back, there's an inner pouch with an elastic top; I guess a water bladder might go in there. When you're wearing the backpack, there's a small slit on the left where your shoulder is; I imagine the nozzle would go through there. Had no problems with the zippers. Lots of staps to secure the pack. I was none too gentle when putting it down a few times and it suffered no ill effects; sturdy construction. The outside pockets are nice and deep; I had a big can of Off! with other doo-dads in one pocket and it fit no problem. If I had to complain, I'd say the padding on the shoulders could use some work. But I'm about 6-foot-6 and was carrying 40-50 pounds and had some bruising after hiking for about 7 hours the first day. Not a huge deal. You can't go wrong considering how relatively little this backpack costs.
