at Boy Scouts of Americ Summary:
This pack has held up to the rigors of a young scout. It easily adjusts to accomodate his rapid growth and the pockets are roomy enough for him to maintain organization of his gear. He has had no complaints regarding comfort. We have found that his heavier sleeping bag will not fit in the attached straps. We put his sleeping pad there and attached his bag below to the frame with some inexpensive straps I added on. Overall we have been very pleased with this pack.

Backpacker
, from Vienna, VA Summary:
Great starter pack. I first got one of these when I was in 6th grade (I'm 22 now) and used it weekend backpacking trips every month for almost 4 years straight. It has plently of external pockets to keep your gear organized and accessable, and you can fit long items (camping spades, etc) on the inside of the pack through a side opening in the divider between the top and bottom sections. Access is great (either top or bottom panel) and I was always able to get at my gear quickly.
I wore the pack on a 12 day trek through New Mexico (rockies) with 46lbs in the pack with few problems. Yes, it is not as comfy as an internal, nor is the load as controllable, but it is very modular, and can carry just about anything.
I would rate it high on functionality and quality of build (no break downs), and medium to low on comfort.
For the money you pay (about $100), this pack is great and it is adjustable over a range of torso lengths, so it can grow with younger ones. If you are older, however, I would suggest going with an internal frame pack because they are so much more comfortable in general. Customer Service:
Two quibles-- the sleeping bag attachment straps that come with the pack are way too short- they barely even hold a sleeping pad. Second, the hip belt is very uncomfortable with heavy loads- replace it with their upgrade. Similar Products Used:
