This is a great backpack for starters and possibly even intermediate hikers and backpackers. The size is perfect. It fits well. It’s great price to boot. It seems to be well-made and the storage pockets have plenty of space. The built-in rain fly on the bottom is a nice touch not having to buy something extra. I do recommend this for your scout or your beginner hiker.

This turned out to be very comfortable. The adjustablity of the torso size allows you to adjust the pack so weight distribution is better. Where you will feel the difference compared to cheaper packs is that, when adjusted correctly, it keeps the weight from riding solely on and crushing your shoulders.I like the smaller, but still big enough to be usefull pockets on outside that make it easier to keep items organized without everything jumbled/jamned in a single large pocket.It makes locating things like a first aid kit, duct tape, head lamp, etc. easier, without rooting around in the large pocket and having to take out half your stuff to find anything.Further, this pack allows me to carry a camp stool comfortably in a vertical position where it is easily accessed. It also, has small compartments in the waist band that allows easy access to snacks/napkins/folded paper towels. (cold weather always makes my nose run - which becomes highly annoying on the trail. These compartments allow you to easily solve this problem by keeping supplies accessible without stopping.)Durability is good - should last for years.Overall I really like this pack and for the price is a good deal.The only con is the non-adjustable ice axe loops. Which unless you are planning to hike in artic ice conditions are not useful. (maybe carry a wood axe instead?) They would be better if they were adjustable loops that could be utilized for strapping on other types of gear.Update: the ice axe loops actually work to help hold my trekking poles. So I guess I eliminated my only con.

This bag is excellent quality for the price I paid. It is eminently practical with the many pockets and pouches. Large enough for multiday excisions and it's made of very durable materials. I expect this back to offer me many years of service on my adventures.

It's very comfortable when loaded up and hiking. Lots of space internally. Just love the product.

I've only taken it on one trip thus far but I can say that it's performed well. Time will tell but the workmanship seems top notch and the attention to detail is good. In fact, all the features of this bag can be a bit overwhelming at first but everything seems so well thought out. It seems infinitely adjustable for various sized folk and I can imagine that it's performance is greatly dependent upon getting this fit right so spend some time on this. Once set up correctly, the pack floats on your hips and the shoulder straps simply keep it in place rather than taking all the weight. I packed way too much stuff on our first trip and I was amazed at how well the pack took the load.I also purchased the Teton LEEF Adult -18c sleeping bag and unfortunately it seems too big to fit into the bottom compartment which, according to their marketing, is supposed to hold a TETON sleeping bag. Perhaps the -7c version will fit? Sadly, I wasn't able to take advantage of this particular feature. It would have been nice if they had paired various products together in their marketing to show what works with what.One of the things that I liked about this version (compared to the smaller one) was that the side pockets are only attached along their sides allowing you to pass something (like a set of tent poles, a saw or an axe?) in behind them.Many bags that I looked at try to add pockets by including zippers on the side of the bag that allow access to compartments inside (perhaps for a more streamlined look?)... or worse, pockets that are not pleated but simply sewn into the exterior of the bag. The result is a pocket that you can't use when the pack is really full. This bag has pleated pockets on the exterior with good quality zippers and flaps to keep some rain out. I found them really useful for keeping gear that I needed quick access to while hiking and setting up camp.So far, I have to say that this bag is everything they claimed it would be and I'm very happy with it.

Wow! I have to admit that I was a little skeptical when I saw the price ($55 for the green/black model when I bought it), but I knew that I did NOT want to spend a ton of money for something I'll use at most a couple times a year. I need something that's tough enough, large enough, versatile enough, and practical enough to use backpacking or for overnight trips. For the few times I've used this pack so far, it has absolutely fit the bill. When full, it sits comfortably, even after hauling about 35 lbs around in it for 5-6 hours. It doesn't have loads of room inside, but I count that as a good thing, otherwise I know I'd be tempted to overpack. It should have just the right amount of space for 4-5 days, if I pack smart.The material, padding, and zippers all seem tough and not likely to fail on me when I need them. There are enough pockets, loops, and the like to be versatile. I especially like the lid, which has a double pouch: one is accessible from the bottom of the lid (when open), and the other from the top. It's big enough for those things you need to grab in a hurry on a hike: raingear, trail lunch, headlamp, first aid kit, and the like. The side pockets are very roomy. I was even able to fit a medium-sized plastic bowl and mug in the large side pocket pocket. The bottom compartment is perfect for a sleeping bag--it worked pretty well with my bag just rolled up, but with my bag in a compression sack, I can fit everything I need for sleeping in that bottom compartment. If you want to use the tool loops for trekking poles, you'll need something to attach them to the bag higher up. I made some webbing out of shock cord ($5 total for the cord and a toggle) between the two daisy chain sets of loops on the front. I haven't used this configuration outdoors yet, but I'm hoping it will do the trick not only for my poles, but also for anything else I may want to stick in there.The side pockets have a pass-through space behind them--for tent poles or anything else long--, but it's not very useful if you need to access those items on the trail, especially if the pockets are full. I'm sure it would be fine if you stuck your tent poles in there, then loaded up the pockets, and didn't need to touch the poles until you got to camp again, but it's a real pain to get things in and out of there with the pockets full.But that's a very minor thing. Are there better packs out there? Sure. Is the difference worth $150-$250? I can't imagine it is! So, overall, I'm extremely pleased with this bag. There are lots of YouTube reviews of this pack, and the consensus is that it's a tough and very useful pack, and you absolutely can't beat the price. I completely agree!

Great bag overall once got adjustments right for yourself, very comfy once in and packed correctly and has some handy attachments to add more to the outside.Only thing I have found annoying is that if the bag is full then the rain cover struggles to cover the full bag! If you have extra bits attached to the outside then there is no point trying. Other bags I have had give a lot more extra material to compensate for this... I have considered looking for another rain cover for this bag!Bag is great apart from that :-)
