Teton Sports Wilderness 55

After trying this pack on, I have discovered that even though it fits my torso (and would fit many people larger or smaller, due to adjustable torso, the shoulder straps are at a strange angle and the… inside edges bear the backward pressure of the pack into your shoulders too much. Basically my only complaint is uneven strap contact with the body. adjustment cannot correct for this. Otherwise a very affordable pack!

Took this on a 3 day trip down Skyline to the Sea from Big Basin, CA. This is a smaller pack, but that's not really a complaint since it is clear when purchasing what size you are getting, just something… to consider. If you are planning long trips, you will be strapping a fair amount of gear to the outside of the thing. My only real complaint is the side and sleeping bag pockets are a little on the small side. The main compartment is fine for me. With my bearvault (BV500) strapped to the outside I had plenty of room inside for gear and i pack on the heavy side. Total pack weight before adding water for this trip was ~45 lbs, I didn't have any trouble with the pack. The pack is very comfortable, nicely adjustable and durable. It's a little on the heavy side for it's size, so if you are looking for something for ultralighting, this is definitely not it. Overall a very good bag, especially for the price.

I bought this pack originally for the price. It looked to be good quality and the price was very right. I am extremely happy with it. In fact, I recommended it to a friend who is also extremely pleased.… Pretty lightweight and very sturdy. There are lots of pockets and areas to tie up what won't fit in the pack. The pack is super comfortable once you get down the correct way to pack it. The rainfly works great as well. There are much lighter packs out there, but if you aren't trying to go ultralight this is a good choice.

I bought this pack about a week and a half ago and received it today. Cons: -I noticed that the buckles are kind of cheap. They can be hard to unbuckle sometimes and if I brought this out in the winter,… they would most likely break. -The zippers aren't high quality, but you'll get that on a $60 pack so nbd. -If you have a tent on your pack the rain fly might not fit all the way around the pack, but the material of the pack is pretty nice so it should be fine. Pros: -I was really worried about my sleeping bag not fitting but it went right in the pouch and there was even some extra room(this is with a 40degree bag). -Tent fit nicely and is sturdy on the pack(I put it where the sleeping bag pouch is and used the straps provided). -Once i packed everything into it, I tried it on and it felt very comfortable. I'm looking forward to hiking with this. It was definitely a good purchase.
