TETON Sports Outfitter 4600 Ultralight Internal Frame High-Performance Backpack for Hiking, Camping, Travel, and Outdoor Activities; 75L, Blue

Lots of room in this pack for whatever you may want to bring. Have to watch not too bring too many things just because there is room for it or it will be heavy. The rain cover stretches nicely over a fully packed load and is attached with a flexible elastic band inside the storage compartment on the very bottom. It is hard to release the velcro flap on the bottom to get out the rain cover: set down the pack to work on it, or get a friend to help you get it out while you are carrying the pack. Practice a variety of load configurations to get your best balance. Items can be mounted on the top of the removable fanny pack, but will make the height hard for creeping under low-hanging branches and fallen trees. The many quick-release tabs for the adjustable straps can be daunting to figure out when they are all disconnected, but with practice it will become more apparent how everything is connected. There are left and right side zipper side pockets just right for a 1 liter bottle. Stretchy lower side netting pockets are good for another bottle, or other quick access items. It can be tricky to reach around to grab anything out on the go. A small zippered wallet-sized pocket at the right side belt is just right for small items such as a granola snack. The chest strap between the shoulder straps is difficult to snap together unless it is perfectly aligned; it doubles as an awkward emergency whistle. The top under the removable pack has a double layered drawstring system super for tightening the load and restricting water intrusion. A clasp there allows additional closure tightening. Tent and tarp easily go into a separate lower compartment with zippered access to the lower interior. Inside is plenty of room for water bladder and separated clothes. The section between the zippered side pockets also acts as another expandable compartment and has additional storage with a centerline outside zipper. There are three adjustable straps fastened side to side which can be used to tighten the pack or to secure a bedroll or other items. The removable top pack has a strap inside with a plastic clasp hook good for holding keys; multiple inner zippered compartments allow sorted storage of small quick access items; outside has two adjustable straps for a bedroll as well as zigzag bungie for quick mounting of items. Remove this upper pack to lighten your load or to make a separate trip as just a fanny pack. Bottom of main pack also has two adjustable straps for a bedroll, as well as loops for hanging items.We took this on a two night remote island trip with 17 miles walking and it worked well for our needs. The formed padding was comfortable on my back though it did get hot and sweaty in spite of the ventilation contours.I recommend this pack for its versatility and comfort. If you do not need all the compartments and volume of storage a smaller pack may be a lighter option.

Wow! Where do I begin on this pack. GREAT quality! GREAT price! GREAT features!This is my second backpacking pack I've had. And I don't think I'll ever buy another one. If this were to break I'd buy this same one again.This pack is one of the few backpacks I've researched that are ultralight and have pockets on exterior of the pack. Man that was a big seller for me. I wanted a pack that had exterior pockets and was a ultralight pack. This is the one pack I found I really liked.I picked this pack up for $100. MSRP is like $189-$200. So WOW! Great deal. Definitely recommend this pack.There are way to many excellent features it's hard to pick just a few to talk about.But I really like the exterior pockets for an ultralight pack. Most ultralight packs are just a big 55l-65l stuff sack. This one is so much more. Also on the front of the pack. There are cross member buckles. Once you undo those it kinda butterfly opens up. Along the inside of that flap is a zipper that runs the length of the pack and alows super easy access to contents inside bag. This is super handy as it is always hard to have to open your pack and dig to the bottom to get that one item you need. (Toilet paper,ect. ) So this side zipper makes life super easy with this pack. And it is covered by the flap so protected from rain and dust. Also tons of gear attachment loops, D rings, Daisy chain bungie, and straps. (Have to be careful not to over pack this pack as it has room for more than you need.) Last thing is the rainfly/ rain shield cover at bottom of the bag. Man that is super nice. Nothing ruins you hiking/camping trip like a downpour and wet gear. This rain cover is great. It is attached in a compartment at bottom of the bag. Just undo the very strong velco and pull it out and it's attached so you will never loose it. Also I like that is is attached so once it's done raining you can leave it out to dry as you continue you journey/trip. Then pack it back up.I would recommend this pack to everyone. It is adjustable. So can fit anyone who will be using it. Small kids this pack I think might be too big. Maybe just keep it packed light for kids and you would be okay. Also it's comfy. But I need to test it out longer to get a better feel for it. I am 6ft 2in. And 160lbs soaking wet lol. But this pack fits great for me. That's another plus.I hope this review helps. I have not seen many reviews for this bag on YouTube. So maybe I will post one in the future.Thanks and hope this helps you get a better idea of this pack! 🤙

I bought this pack because of the capacity. I am 5’11” and 205 pounds. The pack itself holds a good amount of gear. The waist pack conversion of the top was very useful for detaching and keeping stuff handy before hanging the pack on a bear line. The bladder compartment hook was pretty useless as it literally is a two-pronged hook instead of a velcro strap or hook that you can loop through your bladder to keep it from falling. There are also an unusually high number of unnecessary straps on the pack that get in the way quite a bit. The shoulder straps were also a bit narrow and the buckle on each one was positioned just right so it dug into my chest. Other than the excessive straps and the bladder hook, the pack did really well. It does come with a rain cover, which my wife and daughters high dollar packs didn’t have. That was a pleasant surprise. If you are doing a week or less, this pack will be more than adequate. More time than that and I would research for a pack that has specifically what you need….like an accessible phone pocket. I had to keep my phone in my daughter’s pack so I could access it and check Gaia for our location. The waist pocket on this pack isn’t big enough for a phone.
