 Great pack, recommened for anyone into backpack campingJul 05, 2007
By J. Canning
"Renaissance Man"
I ordered this pack with some trepidation, slightly put off by the name of the manufacturer (new name to me). Well, let me say that these concerns were unwarranted. This is a great pack for the price. This pack has a lot of things not listed in the description (see the pro's). One thing, they say that this has four main compartment areas? Not quite. Its got the detachable day-pack and its area for a hydration pack; thats one, the main compartment and its hydration pack area; thats two, the lower compartment for a sleeping bag; thats three, and the detachable hood and its compartments; thats four. There are no separate areas in the main compartment, unless you count the hydration pack area.
Pros:
- Media pouch on left shoulder strap. (For your 2-way radio)
- Hydration hose clip on right shoulder strap.
- Adjustable fitting heights. (5 separate heights)
- Removable lumbar straps - waist straps. (Although I don't know why you would).
- Top lid detaches into a lumbar pack (or fanny pack). Has lots of pockets in it.
- Detachable day-pack (not quite what is shown in picture, but section with double daisy-chain is a smaller backpack). Has divider for a hydration pack but no port (it can come out the top).
- Detachable day-pack has two mesh pockets for water bottles.
- Two side-mounted and one day-pack mounted holders for ice axes or hiking poles.
- Built in rain cover that pulls out and over from its own pockets.
-Compression straps across the back that are designed to hold equipment as well (such as a snowboard).
- Top lid expands upwards with cinch straps.
-Separate bottom pack for sleeping bag with removable divider.
- Two side straps and hangers for skis (one on each side, although I don't know why one would be carrying two sets of skis...).
- 6.05 Lbs (pretty light for a 5000-6000 cubic inch pack with an additional day pack on top).
- Heavier weave materials than other sub-$100 packs (420D body and 1000D bottom. Compare to 240D or some such for others in this price range).
- Adjustable aluminum internal frame.
- Lots of thick padding on the back to make some air-gaps and adjust to your specific body shape.
- Expandable drawstring closure for main compartment, both for easy loading and closing, and for expanding up for more room.
- Safety whistle built into chest strap buckle.
Cons (and yes, there are, despite the five star rating)
- Top-only access to the main compartment. No front access. Just be sure that you pack the stuff you may be needing near the top!
- Some sections of the main pack walls seem a bit thin (single layer of material) Of course they are saving weight on this large pack, and with the higher fabric strength of the 420D material you may only need one layer, I still caution that you don't put any pokey objects on the outside.
- Day pack and main pack hydration sleeves don't come all the way up to the top. If using a large (3L) pack, some of it may be buddying up with the rest of your pack's items. Just make sure that there is nothing that a little condensation won't hurt (or buy an insulation sleeve for your hydration pack).
- No water-proof map pocket. Some packs have this, some don't. Of course, in order to get to any of these, the rest of your pack gets soaked, so I would never find myself using one anyways. Just use a large zip-lock bag and keep it in a thigh pocket of your pants or shorts if you need to use a map).
- No internal pockets in main compartment, only in the lid. A little less organizational ability for a little less weight. Some people may care, some may not.
- Buckles are all the same size and color with the exception of the chest and lumbar ones, hindering an emergency pack-out slightly, and making finding the matching end of a buckle interesting the first few times you take this pack out. Color-coding or size-coding would have been nice.
- I'm a bit skeptical about the lower connection for the shoulder straps, where they connect back with the pack. It doesn't look as sturdy as one might like, but as long as you are carrying most of the weight on your hips, then I don't see it ever being a problem. I will update this if it ever does, and how long it took to wear it down.
- Hydration pack ports could be designed better. They could let water in if its raining. My one from Mountainsmith has a nylon flap that comes down over the port, providing a bit more water-proofness.
That about wraps up my initial review. The pro's far out-weight the cons, especially considering the price. I would definitely buy this pack again.
Five stars!

 The price is right but the product is not.Apr 26, 2009
By Wesley B. Godon
I bought this backpack for the sole purpose of backpacking around Central and South America. Within the first 2 weeks the small, detachable backpack on the outside of the main back had ripped all the way down the zipper seams, making it useless. I ended up just throwing it away. within 6 weeks the internal frames had pushed through the bottom of the bag. Among other things the the straps are all in the wrong places making it impossible to tighten everything down. If you dont have it packed completely full it just kinda hangs off your back like a sack of potatoes. The top part or lid can never be tightened down fully, it just hangs off the back resting on the top of the little backpack. Dont buy this backpack. You will regret it.
i say its quality at an affordable priceFeb 28, 2011
By ernied
It has alot more features and quality for the money.
features i like:
attachable backpack, i use for traveling carry on. you can keep it in the main pack if you dont carry too much when getting to your hotel, i also use it as a cycling pack.
endless amount of pockets, like secret compartments lol.
its got the wistle!
durable materials, ive had it for 7 months, used it with about 45 lbs or so for about 2 weeks travel, nothing fell apart or ripped. have taken it on a few camping hiking trips its been great. still looks clean, although its mostly because im not a rigurous hiker, and i keep it clean.
its got a unzippable compartment seperator. which i like because in the sleeping bag compartment either its too tight or not enough fits and can be awkward. but with everything as one compartment i can adjust everything to sit down nice and tight and allow for it to stand on its own. also the bag compartment is front zip not the anoying diagonal zip that is hard to zip sometimes because its too tight.
has collapsible side pockets which makes it more compact.
it has plenty of straps to tighten the main compartment load so its all solid. the materials have water resistant coating and water resistant zippers with rubber. and look pretty durable.
most of the clips are the same size so you dont need to carry multiple sized clips to replace. i liked that.
it is comfortable when adjusted for your body.
it also has the other plus features that you all look for like rain cover, hydration sleeve although its not ideal. it has a cell phone pocket for the shoulder strap.
the high peak people thought of everything and if this pack was from another higher brand it would be the same just twice the price, but esthetically it would prob be much better.
down sides:
its orange, well if your in a emergency crew this is great i guess. i guess there are worse colors like the green one.
hydration sleeve sucks
the shoulder straps and the suspension straps loosen after about 20 minutes with a good load, i recommend you toy around with it to find a way to keep them put,the end of the straps fold back and sewn, i use that end by reinserting it where it where it slips and tightens it without slipping out it will stay that way. it wont be the end of the world if you can get creative.
if you cant afford a higher name brand go with this one! it is a well thought out pack and it looks great!
