 Best Bag for the money April 6, 2008

Easy to carry and many options for people of different heights. The included rain shield is a definite plus. Zippers can be a little hard to open but I have to say it's the best pack I've ever owned!

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.
So easy to use.. a 11 year old can even use it! November 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!!!

I wanted a extreme "go" bag in case of an natural disaster or evacuation. I live on a barrier island, so this is a must in my case. I planned and packed my equipment and provisions with the idea of being at least seven days without food, shelter or outside assistance. I used an old US Army duffel bag before this one (roughly about the same dimensions). However this pack beats the Army one hands down. The load is easier to carry and SOOO much more comfortable. The pockets make often used items more accessible, although the zippers are a little stiff it's not a problem. The outside straps make bulkier items such as bedroll or tent easier to carry.
So far, it's just as durable as the Army duffle and I can carry more load further.
The built in rain hood is a plus and the mole' lets me add a hydration pack, that I couldn't before. Although, its a little strange to have the hydration pack on top of the bag, it hasn't been proven to be a serious issue.
All in all a great bag for the price. I've "tried out" other bags, but none met my expectations like this one. If there is a negative, I wish there was some way to "lock" it to keep would be sneak thieves out in say a public hostle or evacuation shelter.
Worth every penny.
Phenomenal for the price. July 15, 2009

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.
