This may have already bee asked but is this a good pack to hold a sleeping bag, hammock, and the other items necessary for a two or three day hike?

I use mine for 3 night hikes, with my hammock, sleeping bag(in a compression sack, otherwise it wouldnt fit), stove, water filter, etc. Anymore than 3 nights i would suggest the next size up but i always push myself to go lightweight

I would say yes. I have taken a smaller version of this pack, the 34, on a 10 day trip. But I am also a big fan of ultralight, and have gone out of my way to make my equipment small. I also did not carry a hammock on that trip. On weekend trips, I put my sleeping bag in those straps on the bottom, and everything else fits easily enough inside or in the side pockets. Part of that depends on what size sleeping bag and tent you have. Normal summer gear should not be a problem.

Yeah, thats exactly what it is for. My set-up weighs around 30lbs and fits great in this pack. If you have a bunch of gear I would recommend a bit of a larger one but if you are more of a bare essentials person this is great probably even a bit big. It really depends how much gear you have.

Yeah! A perfect 3day pack. I hiked the npt trail with it 2 summers ago, which consisted of 9 days with food, tent, sleeping bag and rain gear, and It was maxed for space, but still comfy all 9days.

It depends on the size and amount of equipment you are taking with you, and the length of your trip. I imagine for a one or two night trip, you could take this and a second person could carry a day pack and you would be fine. It's the tent, sleeping bags and pads that will take a lot of space. The extra food for a second person doesn't take that much space, and you can share a stove.

Not a very good bag for packing. Its got a large volume, its clumsy, and its heavy. I've managed to pack it, but I'd recommend a better compression sack then the one provided with it. It's very warm, and I've used it in single digits(F). Though I wouldn't recommend it for long hikes. Maybe 1-2 night trips, but anything beyond that I'd recommend something lighter, more compact, and built for backpacking. All-in-all its the same weight packed.

this is a one nighter or a daypack. it is small. you will have a difficult time packing a tent, sleeping bag, and food and cook equipment without tieing most of it to the outside. this is NOT A SOLID INTERNAL FRAME pack. you probably want the scout 3400 or explorer 4000 if you go with teton brand. i have a explorer 4000 as well it it has enough room for a 3-4 nighter if needed.

Depends on you. If you don't want to carry around a full pack, or something that looks huge and floppy for just some day hiking, then yes. Otherwise... no?

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. The Osprey has an airscape design for the back which gives the pack a kinda seemeless fit with the spine, bending, or folding it might damage it.

I'm not a pro, only hiked out into the Northern California forests. That being said, I am 5' 7" and this bag fits me good. I would suggest a smaller back pack. Check out Teton Sport Scout 3400. Also try on similar or same size in person !!!

No, not as your only travel bag. I use mine for hiking, 1-2 days of supplies. But your trip will be much longer so so I think this backpack would be too small for your needs.

No, this would not be a good pack for carrying that much weight. I bought it to take on the Camino in the fall. It was great for afternoons and evening just to carry light weight personal items. The beauty of this pack is that is can be condensed. The straps are not very well padded. It is not intended to be used as a main back pack. More of a travel accessory.

I would recommend The Kelty Redwing 3100, the pack has the "Air-Flow" tech with padding and frame for additional support. It has the waist and chest belts to keep pack close to your bod. I use this pack (mostly) for my day trips, hikes, but it definitely can handle camping periods of longer duration. Because of your size, the Kelty will be ideal. Best regards, Skeet

It's pretty small, good for a day pack. You'd be pushing it to pack enough in it for an overnight trip.

I've taken this on several 3 day backpacking trips and it's great. My pack has loops at the bottom and I carry it there, but sometimes I tie it on vertically along one of the sides. It's bulky but weighs practically nothing so it's worth it to have a soft place to to crash at the end of the day.

Probably not a good idea as the pack is not quite that sturdy. I use mine for light day trips and hiking. I sometimes take my iPad and that's about the max size I would take. Hope this helps.

I got it for my 5'4" 115lb girlfriend. It holds a ton of stuff. Its a good 2-3 day bag. Strong and well made. For the money I would say its definitely worth it. For your frame it will seem narrow but you could load it up. It is not 1000 denier nylon like a mil spec bag. So I would consider this a semi serious camping/hiking bag.

I would say this is not a great bag for a long day hike. This bag works well if you want to get easy constant access to your bag. I used it in Tokyo on short day trips and pulled out my tablet with map many times. It hangs well enough and works for that. But for a day hike, I would say a small standard day back pack would work better. I think the movement of the bag and the one strap would drive you nuts on a 10 hour 15 mile day hike.

this is a small day-pack I would not think it would work as an overnight camping pack

There is an internal compartment for your sleeping bag. On the outside there is a couple of straps that work well for extras. Right in front of the lower sleeping bag compartment are two straps that is what I use for my two man tent. there are also side straps that would be good for longer items.
