User Reviews
“I am a 6 foot 130 pound male, so obviously very thin, and even though the waist straps barely cinched down on my thin waist, I made them work and still be able to take the load off. Whenever my freshman 30 hits is the day I will no longer complain about being too skinnt. Very comfortable bag overall, great room everywhere, right amount of straps outside to hook things, sweet rain cover. Not much to not like for $90!“

“Just took my new pack on a 5 day excursion through the Great Smoky Mountains, this bag was perfect. Held my 0 degree military sleeping bag plus bivy sack no problem in the storage compartment. Plenty of outer pockets and the middle entry opening is a great feature. The rain cover works great and was definitely put to the test on this trip.
Very comfortable to carry and easily adjusts to fit however you need. My buddy was jealous of my new pack. All in all this is a great bag, high quality, very well made with a lot of attention put into details. You can tell this is made by hikers and campers for hikers and campers. Don’t waste your money on more expensive bags, this one is perfect!“
