    Comments about REI Passage 65 Pack - Youth:

    I got this pack for my son who just started in Boy Scouts, his first outing it was great, he loved the pack and was able to carry it well with all he needed. Does not have any extra pockets but I am teaching him not to carry the house with him. So if you are thinking of a nice interal pack get this one.

    Comments about REI Passage 65 Pack - Youth:

    After researching packs for a solid month, I got this for my 13year old Boy Scout Son. It fit him perfectly, and the gross adjustment is very quick and easy, and there are a sundry of other adjustment options to the suspension to ensure ultimate comfort on the trail. The pack is lightweight, durable, well designed and accepts 1,2, or 3L platypus or camelback hydration packs. We chose the 2L platypus, and it works great. There are a host of areas on the pack for clipping on doodads, including a snack compartment on the hipbelt. One really awesome feature is the entire top can quickly disconnect to form a comfortable fanny pack for short trips away from basecamp. Finally, I really wanted something with the polyweb 'cage' on the outside to throw a wet towel or swimsuit in to dry along the way -- this pack had it. The only pack that came close to this one on features was over $400. This pack does not include a rain jacket, however I was able to find an excellent universal one [...] Overall this pack rocks -- and with the quick rip/stick adjustment, should carry him all the way to EAGLE.

    Service and delivery comments:

    We actually drove to Manassas from Richmond, VA (about 2 hours) to get this at the store. The guy who helped was EXTREMELY knowledgeable, and obviously knew what he was talking about. He spent alot of time with my son, making adjustments, and getting the right fit. He also loaded him down with appropriate weight, and had him 'hike' around the store, while we located a Platypus Hoser (another must have with this pack).
