Gigantic & well-made: I hated to return By jetlag from suffolk NY on 10/11/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Large Capacity, Stable Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Taking to the GRAND CANYON tomorrow!!! By one4outdoorfun from central KY - home base on 08/30/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Good Water Flow, Light Weight, Stable Best Uses: Day Trips, Extended Hikes Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: There are a LOT of buckles on these things, I got one for me and one for the beau to use - and the back system keeps the weight of the pack off you, so you do not sweat and have a wet are under the pack, the hip belt and shoulder straps are comfortable for me, though the chest clip is NOT, but the beau is a bit constricted by them, we both got L frame, but they are tall and narrow. DID I MENTION that there are a TON OF plastic buckles on these things??? HAHAH red and grey are pretty combo.
By trailmuncher from suncountry on 07/23/2009 Pros: Good Water Flow, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity, Stable Best Uses: Extended Hikes, Travel Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great pack especially at anything below $100. Water pack is sort of a tight fit when trying to reinsert, but considering how much this pack holds, it is worth it. Be sure to know your torso measurements when ordering med. or large. I am a large but not sure I would have worn a medium better. Several ways to make fit adjustments, but felt the large rode a little too high. Seems like good quality.
Best Camelbak pack for hikers BUT By swietp from Valatie, ny on 06/20/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Large Capacity, Stable Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I've had several Camelbak packs and they've always been lacking when it comes to hiking. This pack however comes very close to being what many hikers need. There is a very good amount of storage space and well organized. It is however rather difficult to get a full 100 oz water bladder back into it storage pocket (helps a little to take out the aluminum support rod). I've had it out now 5 times in the Adirondacks (NY) and I'm satisfied with its performance.
Great deal for a great pack By Cornelius Thistlewick from Tucson, AZ on 05/30/2009 Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I love it so far. The DVIS system is great. The back sweat isn't nearly as bad. Lots of pocket space. I'll be using it all summer for 7-8 hour days in the back country collecting data so I'll probably have more to say about it in a few months. I've taken it on some 4-5 mile hikes since I got it and no complaints. Our local sporting goods store sells it at retail value. If you get it here with a promo it's a steal.
