I bought this backpack for a two day hike in the Superstition Mountains (Arizona). I was very pleased with the product but couldn’t help but be annoyed with some of its features.
The Good:
It’s HUGE! I was able to fit my share of the equipment and my sleeping bag INSIDE the backpack (and my sleeping bag is fairly large).
It’s comfortable. Obviously lugging 50+ pounds up a mountain is hard, but this pack certainly helps out. A layer of padding is put in front of the frame to make it more comfortable on your back. The waist strap is also padded (make sure that strap is pulled tight!)
The Bad:
It has one large compartment, and four very small ones. Much of your gear will be thrown into one large space, making it difficult to retrieve a single item (unless it’s on top).
The aforementioned main compartment does not have a zipper. It has a drawstring that will partially conceal the inside, and then the “flap” folds over the top. The flap has an elastic edge that stretches around the pack. The only problem is that unless the pack is stuffed full the elastic has nothing to stretch over, which leaves the inside unprotected. The top flap then buckles to the body of the pack.
The zippers are hard to open.
All in all, a good pack, especially for such a good price. I’m sure you could get a better product, but only if you’re willing to fork over a lot more money.

Back Pack
The backpack came very quickly. The bag is big enough to hold everything that we need to bring along, It also has a pocket and straw clip build in for a hydration pack (which…
I was a little skeptical becuase of how inexpensive it was (compared to other bags that seemed to be just like it), but I lugged it around Europe for 3 weeks and it worked great. Someone else mentioned the zippers were a little hard to zip, and they are, but I found that to be a very minor flaw. My traveling companion also got the same bag and liked his, too.

Phenomenal for the price.
Ordered this for some recent backpacking on the Appalachian/Long Trail in Vermont. It poured buckets but this backpack was a champ.

Just what I’d been looking for
Holds a ton and well designed. Sturdy, Comfortable and as long as you’re not being a moron with the zippers, it opens and closes well.
Easy to carry and many options for people of different heights. The included rain shield is a definite plus. Zippers can be a little hard to open but I have to say it’s the best pack I’ve ever owned!

Awesome Pack
This backpack is so much nicer than I expected, and I expected it to be awesome just based on the reviews. Considering the price, it’s HUGE and super comfortable.

“Crazy about Cuscus”
The title is for fun, but these are great packs. I have bought 2 Cuscus internal frame packs and don’t regret it.

Good Beginner Pack
This pack was purchased as a beginner pack. I chose this one due to the features and low price. I was some what skeptical about what to expect.

So easy to use.. a 11 year old can even use it!
I researched over and over for a camping backpack for my new Scout. After reading all of the reviews and saw the price, I decided to get it for my son. WOW!!!!

Great Bag for the Price
I wanted a extreme “go” bag in case of an natural disaster or evacuation. I live on a barrier island, so this is a must in my case.
