Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Design: Old Syle Yukon, top-loading external
Size: ~3 100 cu. in.
Number of Pockets: 5, 1 map pocket
Max. Load Carried: 40 lbs
Height of Owner: 5'5"
Price Paid: $85

This is probably the cheapest external rucksack you can buy that actually will last. At $85 it is a good buy, for a first time backpacker.

It is made of a urethane coated #420 packcloth which rides on a aluminum tubaler frame which is torso height adjustable. Like many common externals it uses rattly pins to hold things in place.

It is pretty comfortable if you use the waist belt. The mesh back panel keeps your back from sweating too much. I wish they had put on a sternum strap, (what? extra $5?).

The top loading design is easy to pack up because when properly configured, a metal bar holds the top open.

I still use this backpacking, especially like the 5 pockets on the outside which open with heavy duty zippers. One map pocket is on the top too. There is enough room to strap on a sleeping bag on the bottom. The pack is pretty solid, but one suport strut loosened on the top part of the frame.

Pros:

*Very cheap!

*Many Pockets

*Very Adjustable

*Average Quality

Cons:

*No Sternum Strap

*VERY basic pack

*Frame may be too long (when adjusted it sticks up too much)

*Uses pins to hold pack in (my opinion, I don't like pins)

I needed a pack because I tend to overpack or get stuck with everyone else's gear.

So far, so good. It's survived a trip thru the airport and survived LAX and ATL and no scratches. On the trip, the pack held up well against the elements, always had a place for something, and fit snuggly to my back; didn't really even notice the pack like I have others. Luckily I have the model with the sternum strap and decent hip belt; and I still can't believe how comfortable it is considering the price and market.

Reviewers tend to recommend this for young adults / scouts but it's also a great bag for seasoned hikers who don't care about the weight nor need to pack everything. I'm 6'1 and it fit OK (I'm a lil tall for it).

I have used this pack for over 5 years and I have used it on many camping trips. I did a 2 week backpacking trip in New Mexico with it and it held up great.

The only reason why I am getting a new pack is because it is starting to get small.

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Design: External Frame
Size: ~3,160
Number of Pockets: 6
Max. Load Carried: about 50 - 55 lbs.
Height of Owner: 5'6"
Price Paid: $85

I found the pack to be pretty durable and comfortable for the immense amount of weight I was carrying.

I also liked the number of pockets, you can carry a ton of stuff for a pack that is only about 3100 cubic inches.

Also, it's one of the cheapest packs you can get, too. This one won't break your bank (or your back).
