Great back pack, have been using it for about a month now.  Primarily use it to carry my gym clothes and sneakers, while going to the gym from work.  Has enough room for that.  Very light - good quality material.  Also used it a couple of times while going on day trips with my daughter (zoo, aquarium kind of trips), carrying couple of sandwiches, water bottles, camera etc.

The only down side that I have seen so far is that the draw strings get a bit tangled sometimes, leading to uneven string lengths.  Have been able to fix it by tightening/loosening the strings multiple times.

If you are looking for a smaller, simpler backpack that doesn't cost too much, this is a good bet.

This is probably my fourth or fifth Teton brand pack.  I continue to be impressed with the quality of them for the price (or even just the overall quality at any price really).  $20 for this!!!  I would rate the zippers on this pack better and more heavy duty than the last name brand daypack I had.  A couple of words of warning on features though (just in case you can't tell from the pictures or description), there are no side water bottle pockets on this pack!  There is also no padded laptop sleeve either.  I could care less about either of these things really (I actually kind of get tired of those side, mesh water bottle pockets anyway and don't like the way they look either).  You can still clip a smaller water bottle to the front using the carabiner-style clip if you want.  In terms of the laptop sleeve, there is a middle zippered-pocket/divider that would probably work out just find for a laptop.  It is not padded though.  There is, however, an inner organizer pocket for pens, calculators, etc.  I'm kind of mixed on those too though, never seem to find them all that useful.  Anyway, long story short--good pack for the money.  Get it, you won't be disappointed.

Good pack for skiing and outdoor activities.has plenty of room for a couple of base layers, snacks etc. I would like to see the goggle compartment be a little bigger and have not tried putting a hydration bottle in yet.

Good quality.  Nice pack.  Concealed carry pouch needs some work.  The velcro is very noisy.

This pack is as advertised and is of decent quality. It's a lot smaller than I expected, but I didn't read the specs carefully. It seems to be as durable as any other backpack at this price point.

Good pack. Zipper looks/feels good. Stitching looks straight and tight.
The fabric on the outside (the face of the wolf) looks like it will get dirty quickly because its made from a softer material.
My daughter loves it!

It's pretty nice for an inexpensive pack. I use this as a day hiking pack that has enough room to fit my camera equipment. The loose pieces on the pack are cheap, for sure. The pole holder broke almost immediately, but was fixable enough to function. Otherwise, lots of pockets, fits well on my 5'3" frame (long torso), not too heavy,  and has held up well for the 1st season. I was told it looks expensive. I don't really care about that, I just care that it holds up a few seasons at least. Good pack for the price.

I bought 2. 1 for my 5 year old and 1 for my 4 year old. Fully cinched it fit my 5 year old perfectly, but with my 4 year old the pack is just a little big and ends up on the butt.

Quality multipurpose pack with multiple features:
  * zipper flaps to help keep water out
  * 2 external stretch mesh side pockets perfect for kids size water bottles
  * 1 large stretch mesh pocket with clip for holding larger items, rain jacket, etc
  * adjustable waist strap for load distribution and stability
  * adjustable shoulder straps with small strip of reflective material
  * adjustable chest strap
  * rigid mesh back for breathability

The pack is light weight but we'll constructed.  Seems durable given double stitching on the zippers. Solid stitching all around. 2 zippered compartments. 1 small one perfect for a bag of snacks or any small collection of items. The main compartment,  on the inside, has a mesh pocket and pencil holder configuration for typical school supplies. The backing tappers in around the waist straps for a snug comfortable fit.

There is no headphone hole or bladder hole or pocket from the main compartment.

The pack is sturdy. The shoulder adjustment tends to slide after a while and has to be reset on occasion.

Great Pack! Enough space for city scouting. Could be better on the back so sweat won't accumulate so easy on your shirt. Also having 3 litter water bladder full can be tricky due to the size and shape of the pocket. Also would be nice to have an external water bottle collapsible pouch on the side(for when you're not carrying the bladder).

My daughter is very happy with this pack so far.  Being used for high school. Seems durable and functional. Zippers are solid and shoulder straps should hold up well, but only time will tell. The only thing she doesn't like are the lime green compression straps. Not the color, but the functionality. I agree with her as the webbing material doesn't allow for easy adjustment.  Otherwise, a well made pack

I have had this pack for over 2 years.  I was concerned about a couple of the reviews about the quality of the bag.  At the price and the capacity of the bag, I overlooked those problems and bought it, especially for the carry on use.  I bought the black version, that I think is a big lighter and thinner than the other ones.  It may nt be for combat use, but for travel and hiking it has proved to be a very good pack.  It has enough zippered pockets in the second biggest section.  I brought it through week travels to New Orleans and California with no problems.  All carry on.  I still zippered it tight and it worked well.  There are a lot of organizational pockets in the smaller sections.  I carried enough for a week travel with camera equipment and lenses.  My friend who drove me to the airport remarked on how heavy it was, 25-30 lbs and no loose zippers.
The less perfect characteristics are that there is a soft bottom with no cushion, so that if a hard item is there, it could be uncomfortable.  It does seem to hang lower so that it does touch lower than the hips in the back.  For hiking and for long walking in the airport, it is important to organize items so that softer cushion items like clothing is on the bottom and above that are heavy items toward the back.  The larger section does have straps, but is not the most organized.
I do not have a bag that hold this much luggage and clothing.  Perfect for carrying a lot of stuff.  Need a protective cover for a computer.

All things considered I love this pack so far. I bought it as a lightweight day pack for around town, carry-on airplanes, and mountain biking. I have not submerged it yet but it held up fine in a rainstorm. Especially for the money ($30 on Amazon) I can't complain, however there are a couple of items to note. This pack has the same basic construction as a normal pack except for a weight bearing hip belt. The internal support seems to be a stiff piece of cardboard rather than polymer but I haven't confirmed that. Overall it's not quite as comfortable as say an Osprey, but for light loads it's fine and for my needs it's a great alternative to a traditional pack with a rain fly. If the back support was a curved piece of polymer it would be a huge upgrade but again it makes up for it's shortcomings in other areas. Plus a basic REI or Osprey pack would be $100+ vs the $30 this cost me. The water bottle holders are pretty small - they will fit most disposable water bottles but not a 32 oz Nalgene or equiv. The interior pocket is good for papers, small items, etc. but not much else. However I have several compartment packs (e.g. Eagle Creek) that I use to organize things anyway so I don't find the lack of interior pockets a big deal, especially in exchange for a big compartment. I'll take my DSLR camara bag and put it inside this along with a laptop, jacket, & snack no problem. Overall it's awesome so far, even with the few design issues I mentioned. I recommend it.

I received the pack and noted decent packaging from Amazon. it arrived quickly which is definitely another plus and initial inspection of the pack its self showed very nice quality in a materials and stitching.
I'm a bigger guy and was initially concerned about the fit but I just did all the straps out as far as they could go and there's plenty of room!
During the initial hike wearing the pack, I appreciate where the shoulder straps ride and the belt actually reaches my waist, which is something I've noticed lacking in others. The pockets located on the waist belt are a nice addition but I found them inconvenient to access at least on this initial hike with the pack on my back.

Received this pack for Christmas and have been waiting a few months before I give it some review.  I consider my usage to be moderate.  I'm in a search and rescue unit and am required to hump short distances (3-6 miles) at relatively quick paces.  I've enjoyed having this pack and have used it on several different occasions now.  It packs a lot of gear and is super efficient with its organization.  Of course 5.11 typically means good quality  so the stitch is sound and the feel is comfortable.  But I wanted to give it a good test before tbe review.  I've taken it on several trips now,field tested it pretty good and humped it several times with plus 35lbs.  This weekend I did an arduous test of 3 miles, 30lbs within 45 minutes.  A 15 min mile pace is moving pretty quick and a poorly designed pack will let your body know at about mile 1. This pack sat and rode firmly and didn't drift at all. The metal frame makes for a comfortable, form fitted feel. the straps have got to be the best on the market. My shoulders never felt the weight at all.  In short, I think that it maybe the best pack that I've ever had.  No complaints here.

I purchased this pack for extended trips into the wilderness. So far I have only completed several practice hikes of 3-6 miles but the pack has done its job. It is loaded with about 25-30 pounds of gear and the stitching has held up well. The shoulder straps are easily adjusted although I am still working on the perfect fit.
The materials are all first quality, zippers are SBS and work flawlessly, buckles all snap together firmly and I haven't  had one fail yet. The nylon is strong and durable and I really like the blue color. The padding in the waist belt and shoulders is thick and comfortable while the lumbar pad appears to be losing some of its form. The sleeping bag compartment is more than adequate, I have a 40 degree bag, mosquito hammock, strap set and tarp stuffed in there. Basically my entire camp setup. The lid has an inner and outer pocket which hold plenty of things I want to get to quickly (water filter, fire starter etc...) The only issue I have with the entire setup is that the lid does not fit properly over the top of the pack. The attachment points are sewn too close to the top of the pack near the shoulder straps and the lid always slips toward the back of the pack, creating a gap that could allow rain in if you got caught in a downpour.
I have researched similar backpacks and this most closely resembles the Osprey Aether 70L for about $200 less.
