This is a great back pack and a good value. Bags like these can cost alot more and it has everything I need.

I bought the back pack for my son, who became a Boy scout recently, I was looking for a sturdy, long lasting and adjustable back pack that would grow with him thru the years. My son and back pack have gone on one outing so far and my son loves it. It is fully adjustable, with many pockets and sturdy zippers and seams. Holds his sleeping pad, sleeping bag, pillow, clothing and extras with no problem. He has not tried the rain fly yet, but we think it is great the way it can pop out of a zippered pouch at the bottom of the bag. Unfortunately no instructions came with the backpack and I still have not figured out where this pack holds a Hydration bladder and how. Other than that, I think this pack will add to my son's Boy scout experience.

• Did the product fit true to size? Yes
• How is the quality of the product? Very good

I took this backpack to Canada for a week and carried it everywhere! I packed it with 30lbs of clothes and other accessories and it held up great! It was very comfortable on my shoulders and had plenty of room. There were two hidden compartments on the side and there was also an extra small compartment on the back. I didn't need the rain covering, but the material felt reliable and not easily able to tear. Definitely cannot wait to use this on my next trip!

This appears to be a really nice backpack. The straps are thick and well padded. They are also adjustable and fit me well 6'3". The stiching looks secure. The closures all seem water tight. The hole for the water bladder is nice, I wish there was some straps or something inside to hold the water bladder. I have yet to get it on the trail, but is it packed up and has plenty of room for what I need on an overnight trip. Probably enough room for a week-long trip. Time will tell how well it holds up, but first impression is that I found a good backpack at a great price.

You can't beat the price on this bag. It may not the best bag out there, but it is definitely the best bag for the price. I love the full rain cover. I had to put my other bag in a trash bag to keep the water out, but this one was way more water resistant, which is a really nice feature. I also liked the pocket inside for my water. I didn't find any other bags for this price that had that feature and it was really nice not to have to bring my camelpack too. This is a pretty basic pack, but it's well-constructed (even the zippers seem really durable) and has these nice added features that you don't find in other packs at this price.

For the price I was happy. My daughter hasn't used it yet but all the zippers are working. I was glad to see it has side pockets.
