The REI Passage 40 pack perfectly suits young kids ages 6 - 11 as they learn to love backpacking. It uses the same quality materials and design as adult packs for great comfort and performance.

Adjustable harness fits 12 - 15 in. torsos and lets the pack grow with your child; highly visible torso adjustment increment markers make it quick and easy to dial in the fit
Contoured, padded shoulder straps, hipbelt and molded foam back panel with breathable mesh provide carrying comfort and great ventilation
Dual aluminum stays stabilize the load and shift pack weight to the hips
Precurved hipbelt comfortably waps around the hips and can be extended to provide an additional 2 in. of circumference as your child grows
Hipbelt webbing tightens with an ergonomic forward pull for easy adjustment
Adjustable sternum strap features a safety whistle built into the buckle
Organize gear in the top-loading main compartment, sleeping bag compartment, front mesh stuff pocket and 2 pockets in the top lid
Floating top lid extends to accommodate large loads
Pack bottom features sleeping pad straps with quick-release buckles
Water-repellent zippers help keep contents dry and eliminate the need for fabric zipper flaps
2 zippered mesh pockets on the hipbelt keep snacks and other small essentials close at hand
Hydration-ready design allows a reservoir's drink tube to be routed over either shoulder (hydration reservoir sold separately)
Ice axe loops and dual daisy chains provide external attachment points for tools and other gear; dual side pockets hold water bottles or other compact items
Side compression straps let you cinch down loads for jostle-free carrying
The REI Passage 40 pack is designed and sized to fit kids ages 6 - 11

Comments about REI Passage 40 Pack - Kids':

I bought both of my boys, ages 9 and 6 1/2, this day pack for Christmas and it fits both of them really well. They love this pack. My 9 year old is average size and my 6 1/2 year old is small for his age but the pack works well for both of them. We have taken a few hikes using the packs and we are pleased with the quality. A great buy for your kids!

Comments about REI Passage 40 Pack - Kids':

Lots of compartments from big to tiny(keeps small things like compass easy to find), very comfy (80lb kid able to carry 25lbs with ease), adjustable height as kid grows, straps very long to allow adding lots of things to outside, great for hiking/very light. Other parents commented on how nice this pack was.

Comments about REI Passage 40 Pack - Kids':

My eight-year old and I used this pack shortly after he got it for Christmas. The sleeping bag compartment was tight for a good winter sleeping bag but once I realized the sleeping bag compartment was easily adjustable (even able to remove the dividing panel) it was a piece of cake. I kept the load as light as I could at 25 pounds and the back pack and the kiddo handled it just fine. Lots of loops and outside pockets made it easy to pack so he could get to the most used items quickly. Easily adjustable for the torso. And after a few times off and on, he was able to adjust his hip belt, shoulder straps and chest strap on his own with ease. It held up really, really well under the conditions, lots of ice, snow and rocks... and we were falling alot. Not one busted stitch. Can't say much after the first trip on durability but I can say I feel good about it holding up after this trip.

Comments about REI Passage 40 Pack - Kids':

Got this pack for my 6 year old daughter. She loves it. It is big enough for her to carry all of her own gear, yet adjust small enough to fit her very small frame. It seems to be made well also. looking forward to passing it down to her little brothers.

Comments about REI Passage 40 Pack - Kids':

At 5 feet tall and 118 pounds, my kids are bigger than I am! After over an hour in the REI store trying on and loading adult packs, we finally started trying on youth sizes. This was the only one large enough to hold what I need for an overnight camp. Highly recommended for petite adults!

Comments about REI Passage 40 Pack - Kids':

Shopped obsesively for the right size pack and I found a winner! My 10 yr old boy is about 54" and this fits him perfect with room to grow. The sleeping bag compartment is a little small, but I did get it in. He uses a shorter womens sleeping bag (he doesn't need the extra length so why carry it?). This bag will go with us alot this season so I will write a follow up next fall. As of now I highly recommend it for a kid between 53" and 63".
