This pack has excellent features and is a great value for the price. I used this bag on a 4 day backpacking trip in Yosemite and it held up extremely well. The fabric is durable and all of the zippers worked out of the box. A lot of people commented that there are an excessive number of straps on this pack, I don't think that's the case at all. If you are packing a lot of gear you'll find that the straps are well designed to keep the load balanced and where you need it to be as you hike the trail. The guys complaining of excessive straps probably aren't packing that much gear to begin with. All I know is that I was completely satisfied by the placement of the pockets, straps, and the durability of the pack. It even stayed dry while hiking in extremely wet conditions (mist trail).
However, if you are over 6' tall this bag may not be for you. I am 6'2" and found the bag to be too small for my torso. As a result, the entire weight of the bag rested on my shoulders regardless of how I adjusted the straps or waist belt. It just wasn't too comfortable under a heavy load. The Teton Sports Explorer 4000 is a smaller pack but is made for longer torso's. I later tried the Explorer 4000 and found it to be very comfortable and would recommend taller folks try that bag instead.
Also, I found Teton Sports customer service to be top notch and extremely responsive.
Overall, you wont find a better pack for the price and I would highly recommend it. -- Excellent features, Excellent price
excellent my son use it for a venturing camp and hycking for a week. and it fit everything and light weight -- excellent backpack
This pack has a ton of space, great pockets and features all over it, and is probably very comfortable for people under 6'. It's not built for someone over that, though. After using it for about a mile my shoulders began to hurt and eventually I was in extreme pain. The weight doesn't transfer to your hips well, it was probably 50% on my shoulders. The lifter straps attach to the back of the head of the pack rather than the frames like they should, which contributes to the problem. I contacted Teton about the problem and they sent me a new model free of charge. Great company, great features on the pack, but construction could be better. Again, be wary if you're on the taller side. -- Not for tall people
I am not a frequent camper or backpacker...so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a backpack for my hiking trip to Havasupai in Arizona. I'm glad I bought this pack. I loaded it with 30-35 pounds for the 10 mile hike to the Supai campgrounds and had no problems at all. My only complaint is the unpadded stabilizer strap..it wasn't a problem, but would have been more comfortable with padding. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with this pack at this price. If you don't backpack very often, and just need a sturdy bag...buy this one. You won't be sorry. -- Great value and performance
I don-t know why some people say is a small to fit back pack; I red a review of a guy saying that he's 5'10 and didn't fit in. Well, I'm 5'11 and just used at the middle of the range.
The Backpack is just great; very well made, plenty of pockets and the straps are perfect. I carried a lot of weight and bulky stuff and was just perfect.
Definitely I would recommend this backpack. I will get another one for my wife and my friends are getting two more, beacuase they saw it last trip.
Hope this helps, -- Great Backpack
