Boy Scout Grandson (age 12). Would this be too large of size for him? Or heavy?

Not at all, if he's a boyscout, I'm sure they are having him carry alot of other things. I think it will be great for him. There is however no cap for the mouth piece, I would advise finding a zipper where he can store the mouth piece incase he sits his backpack down and the mouth piece touches the ground. Hope this is hopeful.

Filled completely it weighs about 6.5 lbs and then add the weight of anything else in the CamelBak. Depending on your Grandson's build he may find it heavy if filled to capacity.

I think it would be the right size for a small backpack, weight is about how much water you put in... Please Bear in mind that it cannot add filter. And the drinking out is a bit big

It really depends on how big he is and how long his outdoor expedition is going to be. If its just a day trip you might want to go with a 70 oz two liter design. If it's for an overnight treck having a extra liter of water may come in handy.overall this bladder is an excellent product that has quite a few accessories that can go with it. And just like clothes he can grow into it, itll definitively come in handy and last a long time if you take proper care of it. I hope this helps :)

My personal oppinion would be : the bigger the blader is, the better it is! I drink a lot, and for exemple if you're hiking a entire summer day you might even want to bring an extra bottle!Also : you are not forced to fill ot entirely! You can put only 1.5L if you want (make sure you remove the extra air that's it!). As of the weight, I'm sure your grandson can handle a 7pounds extra charge :)I would recommand this product

If a normal size 8 yr old, then it would fit somewhat loose. if the grandson is of small stature i would say it would be too big, if the 8 yr old has a large frame the watch will be tight.

This will probably not fit your grandson. I bought this for my 6 year old son that weighs 50 pounds and it was not very roomy on him. Hope this helps.

000 should just fit, 00 might be a little big but he'll have room to grow. My 3 are all around 45 pounds, so they are a little smaller than your grandson and they are in 000, and it fits a little loose with plenty of room to grow.

I bought the "large" bag for my 13 year old son - bantam major. It was a bit tight for all his gear, but worked. I think it would be really big for her.

Our grandson is about 45 lbs and he has a long way to go before being to big

It was a man's size. My grandson is 13 next month and it will still fit him quite nicely. I was very happy with the vest. It is just what i was looking for as a Christmas present. My grandson isn't heavy or is he slim. We're thinking he will be able to wear this for quite some time. Hunters usually wear some heavier clothing and this fits nice over them.

Yes, it is too big. It is great for a long torso and someone shorter, maybe not. The Outdoor Products Stargazer is a large backpack that could work. I do not know the Teton Scout, but that is probably a closer fit

I agree with other responses. Go with a larger tent for the numbers you're speaking of. (6) 12 year olds is very doable, but best to have a little extra room for moving about.

My son is 12, small/thin, about 5' and under 100 lbs. He takes a youth large.

Carolyn,Probably a bit big for him now, you would have to size up the straps to the shoulder pads. I generally use one pad to throw over the shoulder for carrying from here to there. That said, all of my boys have grown a bit since 8...and the quality is equal to what my oldest brought back from a year in Iraq. Very fine bag for the price, well made and Molle II adaptable. My 9 year old grandson is going to find one under the tree next month and if too big, he can wait a couple of months. Definately quality and both tactical and tacticool. My $.02 and YMMV. Best regards.

My Grandson is 20 lbs and so far it is ok. The hanging strap is as short as it can get. I think that 35lb or 16kg is too heavy for this item.

I would recommend the 10" backpack since the one I ordered for my grandson is perfect size for him and he is a large toddler. He absolutely loves this backpack and it has been holding up well. He lives in large city, so it goes out every day.

It's a pretty big backpack. For a smaller kid I'd say no, go for something smaller. Regardless, don't overload the bag, but then again you're the parent.

It is fairly heavy. But, if he has grown up using a BB gun, he will knowhow to "balance it" on a porch railing or some other item until he is 12.

Get the junior. The child I purchased it for was 5 at the time. When his dad took him sledding, he ended up using it while the child used something smaller. It's very zippy. My grand nephew is very strong and athletic. I think he would have been able to handle it. But at 4 it might be too large. Either way Amazon will exchange it if it's not right. It's a great product.

it is quite heavy but I believe it will help with stability and aiming. Cocking it should not be an issue for a 12 year old. But keep in mind this rifle IS NOT a toy. It is powerful and that is why I bought it. My yard was over run with squirrels. But not anymore!! I hope this helps. Good luck!
