Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"The pack for Scout-aged backpackers! The Yukon features a telescoping frame that grows as the child grows and is slightly narrower than an adult's frame to better fit young backs. The 3/4-length packbag has plenty of room for gear and includes a divider with pass-through openings, 4 side pockets, a back pocket, a zippered lower compartment access, a hold-open frame, and a map pocket. Imported."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Kelty Yukon External Backpack makes an ideal transition pack for any hiker who falls between adult and junior sizes. Kelty made these medium-sized packs with plenty of room to hold gear for both quick-hit day hikes and over-night trips. The large front pocket, sleeping bag compartment, and mesh water-bottle pocket store and organize all the necessities you'll need on your trip. You can trust this pack's two-layer padded waist-belt and belt stabilizer with Scherer Cinch to provide a snug, comfortable fit mile after mile on the trail."

"1. The pack is adjustable for comfort, putting the weight mostly on the belt and off the shoulders and back.
2. The convenience of the pockets is great.
3. The extra weight is offset by the overall comfort and back ventilation.
4. Water is easy to transport either in camel back pouch, side pockets, or top of pack."
