Rainier
Reviewed by Rex, Apr 12, 2005
"Reviews of this pack vary the widest I have ever seen. This pack is no longer made but was around for years from Jansport. Either the reviewers seem to love it or hate it. If you are new to backpacking and reading this, then you need to try on internal and external frame packs before buying."

"Being that I was in scouting as a youth (Eagle), and have continued hiking as an adult, I went backpacking several times a year for 7 years +. I have had several top loader external frames (Camp trails, Americamp, etc) so I knew what I wanted when I spec'd the Jansport Ranier--basically I did not want another difficult to load top loader."

"This pack has worked well for me. It has many pockets and several special features. Like the other reviews I would have to say that it is extremely easy to organize. It could use another good pad for the upper back, and it needs another height adjuster but otherwise a good sturdy pack."

"This pack is a punishment to own. Not only is it an entry level pack, but it S!U!C!K!S! It's a pain in the A!S!S! to adjust, it is uncomfortable as H!E!L!L! The frame is adjustable, granted, but it is so f**king hard to adjust that after the third time you scrape your knuckles to the bone on the JanSport Cam Adjusters you're ready to toss the piece of shit in the garbage."

"This is a pretty good pack. I liked it because it was very comfortable, capacitatious and easy to keep organized. I liked the feature of the easily-reached net pocket to hold the waterbottle. I also liked the dis-attachable ditty bag on the front, so you don't have to bear bag your whole pack. It creaks a little, but is very comfortable if worn correctly."

"Good pack, very sturdy, but it makes alot of noise when you put alot of weight in it. It is really easy to keep all of my gear organized in this pack."

Reviewed by an anonymous hiker, Jun 10, 1998
"I would not recommend this pack to anyone shorter than 5'10", because the frame on the pack is very long and bulky. Other than that, the pack is very comfortable and the thick waist belt is great for long trips"

"I like it. You can be very organized with all the pockets. Although when lifting the pack while it's loaded you hear the flexible frame working a little too well. Great for beginners, avoid if on technical terrain."
