Love this backpack. It has lots of room. Its a little bit heavy, but for the price and durability it's worth the load.

Bought as a Christmas gift and the shipping was incredibly fast. Exactly as described and extremely durable. Both the recipient and I are totally satisfied!

This pack has a little bit more weight than I'd ordinarily like (~5 pounds), but it is a true 75L pack. It has lots of pockets and a deep interior with zipper access into the middle so you don't have to pull everything out to get to the bottom. The bottom pocket fits my UL sleeping bag and inflatable pad. It also has a built-in rain cover in the bottom. The frame is adjustable to your height so that you can carry the weight without unnecessary back strain. Having walked around with 25-30 pounds in it, I can say it does exactly what you want a pack of this size to do. #sweepstakes

Awesome hiking pack! Well built and durable! Lots of storage and easy to access compartments. Perfect for the hikes I go on to Glacier N.P., Grand Teton N.P., Boundary Waters, etc. #sweepstakes

Great bag, impressed with the quality at the price point. Zippers have been great so far and have had no rips or tears. I'd say the only con so far is that I've had some stuff in my bag that would poke me in the spine bc there isn't a lot of padding in that spot, but some adjustments were made and took care of it, not really a bag issue

Birthday Gift for my grandson for his Boy Scout outings in No. Carolina. He was very excited to receive it. Large enough to carry his sleeping bag, camp gear and other accessories he needs to take camping. Now instead of two bags, he can carry all his gear in his new bag.

Haven't tried this on the trail yet, but testing it weighted (40lbs) out around the house and neighborhood. Good build, solid construction, ample storage/compartments, and great price. Only two con's: a little on the weightier side and the Ergo-Fit strap did chafe against my back if pack was really fitted. After adjusting, no issue.

We purchased for an emergency bag and like the capacity it can hold.

Great pack for the weeklong trip. Has held up well so far. Really like the zippered flap access to the main compartment.

I bought it especially for my son for outdoor sport activity. It is generally good, but he only thing which disappointed me is it is not as large as it looks like.

Great beginner pack. Great price and value. It doesn't have small zippered pockets on the hip brace. That is the only feature I miss. #sweepstakes.

Excellent large backpack for the money. Fits well with multiple adjustments to get things just right. Able to hold plenty of gear for long backpacking trips. Well built and sturdy. A little heavier than I would have liked but not enough to warrant not getting it. Currently have it loaded to 35 lbs to train for an AT section hike next year. Worn it for many miles already and it is always comfortable. "#sweepstakes"

I have used this backpack on a 3 day weekend trip in Indiana, hiking about 15 miles. It was fairly comfortable and held up to ~30 pounds of gear (I overpack okay) The hip belt was extremely thick and would not tighten enough for my ~30inch waist. Luckily I had a replacement, or I probably would have returned the whole bag. Otherwise, the bag gets the job done. Nothing fancy, but for the price it is definitely worth it. I would have liked a smaller sleeping bag compartment and a bigger main compartment but that might just be me. The divider can be unzipper for a bigger main compartment as well, which is nice. The zippers are also a little tough to work, some of them definitely need two hands to maneuver (although WD-40 may solve this). Looking forward to using it on a 2 month trip to Thailand soon! #sweepstakes

The waistband was thick and could not tighten enough to fit my waist (30ish inches). Had I not had a spare waistband, I would have returned it. Great capacity and comfortable. The various pockets are great for organization.

So far the only issue I have with this pack is the weight. However I feel that you are trading a little weight for durability and unless you want to be buying a new pack ever so often I feel that it's a good thing.

This pack was purchased specifically for my NCT trek through Pictured Rocks Nat'l Lakeshore. My go to pack for the decade has been the High Sierra Explorer 55 which was not going to have the capacity necessary for this trip. The pack is organizational Heaven for me, allowing me to stash the most frequent items like personal gear my water filter in the side zippered pouches, and snacks in the front compartment. Access to the main pack is through the front so that unpacking it from the top is unnecessary. The pack performed great through the entire trip and I am very pleased with its performance. Started with about 35 lbs at the beginning of the hike due to sharing weight with a partner and pack felt great.

I've used this backpack for several years covering hundreds of miles. Never a broken buckle or zipper, or failure of any kind, and I like the built in rain cover. It's not the lightest bag on the market, but one of the most durable andcfor its cost - the best bag I know of. After 9 years I bought a 2nd one thinking - it's gonna give out one day - but after 11 yrs I'm still using the old one — but I love the new grey and yellow so I had to buy it lol. For the money - this is a fantastic durable, comfortable bag - to about 45 lbs, as I sometimes carry enough for 2. I can carry the tent inside the bag, a week of food and all the necessities. - love the additional front access and has water pockets for 4 liter water bottles, good hip padding and straps, load lifters work well - once it's broken in - it just "feels like home" when you strap it on ..

I went on a backpacking trip and found the bag to be very useful. It is very spacious and relatively easy to carry.
