Kids' Imp
Reviewed by David Zalinski, Mar 27, 2008

"It has plenty of space and good load control. We used it on our hut trip. My 6-year-old son carried it 3 miles in and out. We liked the fact that we could use his reservoir and hydrate along the way. This purchase will last for a few years due to its adjustable torso."
