We bought 2 of these packs for our kids (now in 6th and 8th grade) who have put these packs through their paces across multiple backpacking trips (both active in scouts), and most recently took them on a family trip to hike the W Trek in Torres del Paine NP, Chile. The packs have with stood the test of time so far, and the separately sold pack covers with draw strings also have held up incredibly well/stayed on tight vs some very stiff winds. Attached images are from the most recent W trek, where the pack did great and was still going strong at the end (even though we were all quite tired)!
Purchased this pack last year for my son. Overall, the layout and quality of the pack is excellent. My only gripe is the internal frame of the pack consists of a flexible plastic sheet. With only a modest load (~15 lbs) the pack had a tendency to bow and barrel. This made it difficult to adjust the pack and get it fitted just right to his torso. Not a bad pack if you’re only going to have your kid carry their clothing, but beyond that they will probably outgrow its usefulness quickly. If I could do it again, I’d probably just opt to get a small adult or women’s pack with a better frame.
