Would you recommend this backpack from climbing Rainier or other such mountains?

Yes I would recomend this pack for such climbs and hunting trips and to friends or family.

For hiking there is none better , but if you are climbing rock then this pack is too bulky.

It's a pretty big and heavy pack. I'm not sure how much you need to bring but I can easily pack for three nights with this pack. All I can really say is I still love this pack. Its very comfortable and roomy and should do fine for whatever you want to use it for.

I would use this pack to climb what ever mountain your crazy mind may dream up. Seriously this pack is way comfortable even with a heavy load. The zippers are heavy duty the pack is well built and easy access to all compartments. Buy it you'll like it.

I have had the backpack for a year and it's really hardy. Rain, sleet, and snow the bag hasn't failed me yet. I ride a bike in inclement weather and it's kept my gear dry as a bone.

That pack is not fully water proof, but for short walks in the rain it should be able to keep your laptop dry. If you want a pack that is totally waterproof look into Swiss Gear model TG14HS or brands like: Orca, The North Face, and OverBoard.

This is a medium-large backpack. If you are mainly using it for clothes and personal items it will work just fine. Enjoy your trip.

It is big enough, but I wouldn't guarantee it would be sturdy enough. This pack is made of fairly thin nylon material. I think for that weight a canvas backpack would be better.

I would say yes. I purchased this bag for a day pack use while I was in backcontry of Yosemite. It was also my carry on for the flight out and had all my rock climbing gear (cams,nuts and a rope about 25 lbs). It's lightweight and really handy.

It may be a little heavy for a backpack, but I would chance it. Like everything there is a minimum of care required, but I think it will hold up quite well.

This would be a great backpack for school. I carry tools in mine to work every day and it holds up fine. Can't beat the Badlands warranty

If you want a waterproof/water-resistant backpack, check out the Granite Gear laptop backpacks. They are all about the same size as this one. I have the Saunders and really like it. Just note, the Granite Gear backpacks do not have the cooler feature.

It is not 100% waterproof and will not withstand splash mountain. I have all of my things in waterproof or almost water proof bags in the backpacks. They are very good backpacks for the price.

I just went to a trekking store and bought a back pack shell for $10. It folds up to a baseball size and works great. You can use it on other packs as well. Te Lowepro will work OK in showers, but I didn't want to take the risk. Good luck.

Yes, you should have no problems. The BVs are quite roomy. We ordered a couple of sets for a 350 mile bike tour from PA down to DC along the GAP and C&O.; They held up just fine hauling gear for a couple of Boy Scouts. Took a chance with the less expensive panniers, and thus far it has paid off.

Hi Carolyn. I bought a very lightweight. Duffle called sea to summit large off of amazon. I then placed the loaded backpack inside and checked it. It worked great not to mention I could lock the duffle. The duffle then packed nicely into the backpack for future use. The duffle is very compact. You could also use the rain cover and then check however the straps hang out. I think the duffle is the best option. Good luck.

I'm 6-4 220lbs and have no problems with the comfort. Used the pack to hike 70 miles on the App. Trail. Used the 3400 and hiked 120 miles. Only switched because my son needed the 3400 after his old pack gave out. It was another brand and he had it for a long time. It does need a better rain cover. The one that comes with it isn't the best quality.

Dear Nina, I've bought the back pack one, is very light but the room for other stuff is not enough, so you better think about it. Materials are fine and design is cool. Best regards.

My sons used the Coyote 80 for Philmont which was a 10 day 80 mile backpacking trip, but their body frames are a fair bit smaller than yours. I also accompanied them and am comparable in size 6'0", 200lb and used the Kelty Red Cloud 90. It worked out great. You may also want to look at the Red Cloud 110.

It's pretty sturdy. I pert use it for hiking and usually carry 15 to 20# in it. I would say safely would carry 25#. If your looking for super sturdy, I would recommend army/navy surplus. They have a great selection and do carry sylish backpacks as well.
