So how much room do you get with the Teton 3400.  This backpack has a capacity of 3,400 cubic inches or, in other words, 55 liters.

This means you won’t have to stop frequently to take a brake while backpacking because of pain, something that usually happens when a backpack is not comfortable.

This backpack is versatile enough to be used with adults and childen. This is possible thanks to the height-adjustable shoulder straps. In other words, whether you’re tall or petite, the backpack will suit you as it can accommodate a wide range of torso lengths.

The lid is attached to the back of the pack so is not a floating lid, which means that it is always attached and does not raise up or down.

Gayle Mann, Amazon Customer Review

“Both my daughter are going on a student exchange trip to Nicaragua. They are going to a small village and were recommended not to bring suitcases or rolling luggage. I ordered to Teton sports scout packs and they are light and perfect for the trip. Well made and a great price. I did later see some High sierra frame backpacks for the same price at Costco, but they were smaller and heavier. These are a great buy for light backpacking trips.”

It’s not too heavy for bicycling, and it’s a very comfortable pack for hiking. Not too big and not too small.”
