To be fair, I have not yet used the pack, but am preparing to go on a 5 day trip with it. Three things that you need on any backpacking trip- a tent, a sleeping pad, and a sleeping bag. But there is no room for these three items! Right now I’m just lashing the tent and sleeping pad to the the frame, but that leaves no space for my sleeping bag. I could sort of bungee/lash it below the sleeping pad, but it then would rest against my rear end while hiking and would sit on the ground each time you put the pack down. The pack looks cool and there are plenty of individual compartments, but I have to believe there are better packs out there with a better design.
Also, you can get this pack much cheaper on other sites.

I have had no problems with this pack. I have loaded this with 60 pounds before, and it held up very well. I have used it around 10 times, averaging 45 pounds loaded in. If you use bungy cords, you can attach so many things to the pack.My only complaint is that the side pockets are kinda small. If the side pockets were longer, I would have no complaint whatsoever. The lower part is great for strapping on heavy objects like sleeping bags or whatever. Look around hard for lower prices on the pack, I got mine for $40 from [...].

This is a perfect pack for a person just getting into camping/hiking. The only reason i say this is because of its size. I can pack enough materials (including food and water) for about three-four days. If your going to be out longer it may be difficult.
Very sturdy! VERY VERY COMFY! Has flaps over all the zippers for added water protection.
Though the double water bottle design is a little bit of a let down, its slanted to allow you to easily get at them but that just makes it easier for the water bottle to fall out, lol.

I purchased this pack for my 11 year old son as his first Boy Scout Pack. It is light weight, adjustable and roomy. A great pack for the price!

This pack offers so much at such a great price. It is perfect for a young Boy Scout as it is adjustable and will grow with them.
