            Comments about Deuter Fox 30 Pack - Juniors':

            This is a great pack for kids. It is one of the few serious packs for small children (my son is 6). It is heavier than it needs to be, but appears to be very durable and adjustable for years of use. We took it on a one night 10 mile backpacking trip. Loaded with 6-7 lb of gear, it made for a 9-10 lb pack, which was just right for my son. We will be purchasing another one when my daughter turns 6.

            Comments about Deuter Fox 30 Pack - Juniors':

            O.K., I don't have this pack yet, but I think I will buy it for my son. The previous reviewer complained about compression straps on the vertical zippered pockets. They are there for several reasons. They help to stabilize that area...particularly in technical issues like rock. They also keep a zipper from blowing apart if much pressure is against it. As an example, my camera backpack has the same method. I'd hate to blow a zipper and dump my DSLR and lenses on the trail. My own Kelty backpack has tons of straps and daisy chains. My opinion is that rarely can you have too many daisy chains and straps. This pack looks like an awesome buy for the money.

            Comments about Deuter Fox 30 Pack - Juniors':

            I have mixed feelings about this pack. When my kid grew out of a Squirt there were few options--the Fox 30 is about it for small backpackers who need a serious pack.

            On the plus side, it has plenty of adjustability, a good suspension, and appears to be well-made. It carries well, at least on a 55 lb girl who is one notch up from the minimum torso size. There are easy means to strap on things that won't fit inside, like a Thermaleak pad. Kids are always changing jackets so having the daisy chain loops to add a shock cord web is nice, but the pack should have come with one.

            On the negative side, it has too many features, and ends up weighing more than it needs to. For example, the side vertical zip pockets are covered by the compression straps-weird, and not useful. A front organizer pocket like the Squirt only bigger would be better. The bottom zip isn't actually a compartment, it's just an opening into the main compartment; it barely admits a small down bag, which would need a stuff sack. Better would have been internal compression straps and no opening. The water bladder compartment hangs way too low, so you can't load water (the heaviest item) just above hip level, which is where you want it and where Deuter recommends; it does hold a 2 L bladder, though. Finally, the pack has a backpacker profile (pear-shaped); I'd prefer a mountaineering profile, like the Osprey Jib 35 (but it won't fit my daughter and it's heavier).

            So if you face a size limit, the Fox 30 is your best choice for a serious pack, and it's not a terrible choice. It has much better features than the REI Comet, and it's lighter. Now if it just came in fuchsia...

              This pack fits my skinny kids ~65-75 lbs on the tightest waist setting. They can easily grow into this pack. The one thing that I had to modify were the shoulder straps. They are wide at the top and cut into the neck. I narrowed the straps by squeezing them and tying around them, it worked.
