          Comments about REI Meteor Pack - Youth - Special Buy:

          I bought one for my oldest son when he entered Boy Scouts. It holds together great. I've been able to cram a winter-weight sleeping bag in the bottom compartment with no tearing over the years. I have not been disappointed. I ordered another one during a sale since the price was too good to pass up.

              Comments about REI Meteor Pack - Youth - Special Buy:

              This pack is perfect for the smaller youth and has all the features you would want in a first pack. It's rugged, adjustable, and comfortable. The belt fits the smallest of waists, which is hard to find in most packs. REI's Passage 65 is larger and maybe a better choice for bigger youth and in the long term, but this pack will hold enough for a 3-5 day trip with little problem, if you pack light. You load a pack at <25 percent of a youth's weight anyway. The pockets and holds on the outside are very convenient. You can't beat the price either. In 2-3 years, we'll likely hand it down to an incoming scout and get a new pack.
