Description

The Carson 80 is an external frame backpack made by JanSport. It has an average rating of 4 stars (out of 5), based on 2 user reviews.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Jansport loaded the external frame Carson Backpack with some of their most popular internal frame features. In many ways this large pack looks and operates like an internal, but its easy-to-pack, easy-to-adjust design and excellent weight transfer are evidence of its external roots. As serious backpackers know, nothing handles heavy loads like an external-frame pack. The Carson's adjustable aluminum frame system fits 16- to 21-inch torso lengths. This weeklong pack has both top and panel access, so it extends for overloading and helps you reach your gear quickly. Dual water bottle pockets keep you hydrated, and twin daisy chains let you clip on some extra gear."

From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Carson Backpack is a new external frame pack loaded with some of Jansports most popular internal frame features."

"Great pack for the price. I will take an external frame backpack over an oversized stuff sack any day. Top and front unload is a great advantage. Two large pockets on the sides for gear are great. Two mesh water bottle pockets at the belt is also a great idea."

"Between the hydration pack and water bottle pockets it will comfortably carry 6 liters of water, which is great when water is scarce. The bottom section is the perfect size for a bear can. Someone was thinking.

It's a large pack but its size and design means you won't have to lash on your tent and bag."
