REI Ruckpack 65 Travel Pack

A good travel/weekend hiking pack with the details you come to expect from a REI product. While relatively heavy at nearly 6 lbs for both the primary pack and daypack, there are enough pockets and comfortable straps to make this a weekend pack for the outdoorsy types. As an Active Cub Scout Cubmaster and ASM for a troop, I camp a lot. I also travel periodically for work and enjoy the occasional vacation with the family and spouse. This probably feeds my bag fetish.* I'm always in the market for… Full review

Arc'teryx Bora 65

Long range comfort and durability with one issue. Read that this pack is the shizzzz, but with one big issue. The pack's main body is made of two different nylon fabrics. There's rip-stop of the main color and plain weave nylon panels of the sides, back and bottom. Both were urethane coated for waterproofing, but only the rip-stop coating remains intact and looks clear and shiny as when new. The coating on the plain weave nylon that consists of half or more of the pack has yellowed and is sloughing… Full review

Klymit Motion 60

I bought this pack about a year ago to replace another ultra light pack I had worn out. (Wild Things AT pack, which I still like, but it is basically just a bag with straps on it). I was hesitant to buy this Klymit Motion 60, without trying it on first, but I took a chance, and I must say I have been absolutely pleased in every way possible. This pack is very light, super comfortable, and carries everything I need for a few days of wilderness travel. Excellent design! Well made pack. The price I… Full review

Gregory Baltoro 65

A great pack, with nice features and very well made! I am fairly new to backpacking and have been building my gear through the years. I have always used a more inexpensive pack and wanted to upgrade. WOW! I cannot believe how much a quality product makes a difference. I received this pack from Gregory for testing in exchange for a review. I am so lucky that they chose me to test and review this product. I have had it only a week and have already taken it for 50+ miles, with 40+ lbs. in it, on many… Full review

3F Gear 40L + 16 Backpack

Two-pound backpack for $56 shipped! Great ultraLight backpack. I am 62 and have a real bad heart and wanted to backpack again after a 45-year hiatus. I bought this Chinese/Aliexpress Backpack and couldn't be happier. Would I love a ZPacks Arc? Heck yes, but this does as well for not much more weight. I have taken it on two trips so far since my decision to backpack six weeks ago and I really could not be happier. Capacity: 40+16 Liters Dimensions: 80cm*30cn*22cm Back length:about 52cm Net weight:… Full review

Osprey Atmos AG 50

Great pack overall with super ventilation and adjustments. Very well made and very comfy when loaded with all your kit. Ideal for multi-day hikes and although 50 litres is plenty for me there is the 65 litre model of the same pack. A very roomy 50 litre backpack that really does hug your hips and makes for a much more comfy and lighter feeling carry. I also like the stretch front and side pockets that feature on a lot of Osprey packs. The option to remove the top (brain) pack is also a handy feature. Full review

Osprey Aura AG 50

Love this pack! Combines quality, adjustability, and functionality all while remaining super comfortable on. Spent a couple years searching for a comfortable pack for backcountry camping—this one is perfect. The suspension system allows a lot of customization, it feels weightless on, and there are SO many pockets which is great for staying organized (goodbye to additional storage sacks!). There are tons of straps on this pack, which required some familiarization, but ultimately it just makes this… Full review

Arc'teryx Bora AR 50

The Bora AR pack is a lightweight, water resistant, very comfortable pack for about 30-45 pounds. I have hiked many miles with external frame packs to soft frame packs, some with no hip belts (shows my age) some with little or no adjustments, some that were agonizing to wear, some that were very comfortable. Arc'teryx is my brand of choice. I have hiked with the older Bora models, the newer Altra and Naos packs and now the newest Bora AR packs . The evolution of Arc'teryx packs (for me at least)… Full review

Granite Gear Women's Crown2 60

After comparing all the features important to me, I decided to go with the Granite Gear Crown2 60. Even though it doesn’t have sleeping pad straps (REALLY???). I added those to the pack myself via some ultralight Sea to Summit straps. The reservoir sleeve is more a peace of mind thing than an actual necessity, so I don’t mind that this pack lacks one. It’s a bit larger than I prefer, but I’d rather have extra room than run out of space. There are so many great features with this pack, and… Full review
