Good strong starter pack

I bought this pack as part of my strategy of getting into the woods as quickly and inexpensively as possible. I bought this as an entry-level multi-day backpacking pack with an expectation that I would upgrade it later. After a few local shakedown cruises and two real overnight trips into the Pemigewasset Wilderness (one for one night and one for four nights) I have arrived at a verdict: This pack does its job and carries my stuff acceptably. On the other hand, it is going to be the next item of equipment that I retire and upgrade (I already upgraded my sleeping bag.) Here’s what’s good about it, besides the price (which is obviously inexpensive for this sort of pack): It’s built strong. It held about fifty pounds of gear for five days in the wilderness. I'm a 6’ 265 lb person who wears xxl and plus size clothes and sleeps in a long sleeping bag with a Nemo Fillo King pillow. I also hauled too much food around, more than fit in my BV450 bear canister. And a sleeping pad and sleeping bag and a jacket for my dog. This was essentially the maximum amount of stuff that would possibly squeeze into the bag, but squeeze it did, and the cover closed down over it fully, and the cloth and the seams held up well. The forward facing water bottle pockets are not the horror that some reviews make them out to be. They do make it possible to get your bottles in and out without taking the pack off or asking for help. Occasionally I dropped a bottle when I took the bag off. So what? The hip belt pockets are the most accessible of any pack I’ve used. The zippers work one handed, which is necessary for the location low on your side. This is not the case with other (day and small overnight) packs that I own. Here’s the bad: I’m constantly fiddling with the fit. The hip belt, which should be sitting above my hip bones and keeping the weight off my shoulders, likes to slip down my overweight belly as I walk. The solution is to shorten the pack’s torso length, but then the buckles on the shoulder straps dig into my armpits. I feel like if the lower attachment points of those straps were wider apart the straps would sit better on my wide torso, but such is not the case. I DO own the regular size pack, not the extended one, but my understanding is that the ONLY difference is hip belt length, and this belt does extend around my belly. I have no reason to expect the extended size would fit better in the shoulders or my hips. I should mention that this sliding down my belly issue only happens with what is probably considered an overloaded pack; at 40 lbs or so it doesn’t fall so much. And I can always hike the pack back up, but I shouldn’t have to. I’d like side pockets beside the water bottle pockets. The water bottle pockets are so far forward that this should be possible, but there just aren’t any. Instead, I find myself wedging stuff between the side of the pack and the compression straps, which kinda works for some gear. If you forget to zip the top pocket while opening the main compartment lid, everything in the top pocket is always going to fall out all over the ground. This is a thing that happens frequently, since you’re going to want to access both at the same time. The separate sleeping bag zipper and compartment divider flap seem pointless. I can’t imagine a scenario in which I need to access my sleeping bag while needing to keep everything else packed in the bag. The bottom straps will hold a bagged tent or foam sleeping pad easily. They alternately can be used as compression straps to essentially eliminate the bottom area of the bag and convert it to probably a 40 liter-ish bag. This is nice if you want to day hike while leaving gear at a base camp, for example. Bottom line: I’m happy I bought this pack to quickly and inexpensively get me back into multi-night backpacking trips in the wilderness, but now I know that I probably need something bigger and built for a bigger person.

Good for intro to backpacking 1-2 nights
Alex
2 years ago
Great starter pack. I tested it out by doing a quick overnight backpacking trip but I tend to overpack so it was filled to the brim. It fit two changes of clothes, my sleeping bag and pad, cooking gear, food, toiletries, and other necessities. I attached my tent to the outside of the pack. The pack fit well and very adjustable but I really like zipper pockets on the exterior of the pack, and the only zipper pockets on the exterior are the top pocket on the “brain” and the hip pockets. The pack itself sits pretty heavily on the shoulders even though I was trying to shift most of the weight to my hips. All in all, a great intro to backpacking but if you have some extra money to spend, I would recommend going to a Gregory pack.

It looks great and is very light

2 years ago

The Trailmade 60 looks great and is pretty stable once all straps are nice and tight. Didn’t experience any noticeable discomfort and it hikes well. Comparing to the the atmos 65L, I was pretty much able to pack the same amount of items on the Trailmade. Even though it’s a 60L, it was able to accommodate everything. The stitching, materials and quality are excellent and I would definitely recommend this bag for a 2-3 day adventure. I think, comparing it to my atmos, the breathability on the back is better on the atmos but both are very comfortable and personally I wouldn’t consider that a dealbreaker on the Trailmade.

Great backpacking pack - no complaints!

2 years ago

REI Co-op Trailmade 60 Pack - Men's -- Great backpack! I'm about 6'2", 225lbs and after getting the backpack adjusted (which was simple enough), it feels very good. Padding on the shoulder straps and hips feels fine, durable. I like the big pockets on the side that can carry a 2 big water bottles, as well as having a reservoir system. Also, there are instructions on how to best pack your pack PRINTED on the inside of the top pouch which is awesome. I've borrowed packs from friends and I can see doing the same with this one, and I can see that especially being appreciated. My nitpicky complaint would be the drawstring to close the main pouch isn't the kind you push to loosen the string - instead you pull the locking mechanism. Which, I may just not be used to. Overall, I'm having trouble finding a reason I wouldn't recommend this pack!

Excellent multi-day pack with smart features

2 years ago

I’ve used this 3 times and have had a great experience with this pack. It took me a little while to get the fit right, but once I dialed in the multiple straps and adjustable options, it sat perfectly on my back and distributed the load in a comfortable way. The large inner compartment kept my clothing dry and compact while the smartly placed external pockets allowed for customizable organization. I was able to easily fit both my Gregory and Camelbak bladders in the internal sleeve. There are also two pockets on the hip belt which easily fit my phone, garmin and multi-tool. I am a larger guy and the hip belt and chest strap fit perfectly, which can sometimes be a challenge with other packs.

Comfortable on long days!

2 years ago

The REI Trailmade 60 Men’s Backpack is a great pack for those just getting into backpacking as well as those with more experience. The first thing I noticed is that it has a flat bottom and stands upright when packing or setting on a rock to gain access, which is very convenient. The compression straps have a lot of friction through the buckles and firmly hold the load. I am a small waisted man and the hipbelt tightens securely. The hip belt pockets are a good size and easy to access. The lid pocket is quite roomy, as is the open back pocket. Adjusting the torso length is very easy and instructions are printed right on the pack. Another good aid printed on the bottom of the lid are packing instructions for proper weight distribution and a QR code for more backpacking advice. The sleeping bag compartment is large and easy to load with its own U-shaped zipper. There are four lash points on the main pack, one on each corner. However, I would like to see a daisy chain or at least more lash points that would be easier to secure a fishing rod, hiking poles or ice axe. The weight of the pack is very good at 3 lb. 4 oz. It also seems to have quite durable and water resistant fabric. A couple of cautionary comments: The water bottle pockets are very loose. It is easy to get a bottle out while the pack is on your back, but they will fall out if the pack is tilted or tossed into a truck. I’d also like a larger hydration tube exit port as it passes through the seam attaching the lid to the frame. Something that confuses me is the webbing tabs on the water bottle pockets. I don’t understand their purpose. Overall, this pack is a very good choice for multi-day backpacking. I had no issues with comfort with heavier loads on multiple days. It has set a really high standard for an entry level pack.

Nice Budget Friendly Pack with Convienent Pockets

2 years ago

Worn this pack several times now on overnight trips. This pack would be excellent as a first purchase backpack as it is budget friendly, but still has a lot of the features of more upper-end packs. The biggest drawback is it doesn't have as many access points as some packs I have owned, which requires a little more strategic packing if you have to access equipment in the pack during your trek. However, I loved the larger pockets on the hipbelt that fits a lot of quick grab items (other packs I have had wouldn't even hold a cell phone). Also, the water bottle pockets are tucked in nicely between the hip and pack and doesn't bank on trees and rocks when the trail narrows.

REI has always made great packs

2 years ago

This is a very close representation of the Co-Op bags made by REI 30 years ago. You really can't lose with this bag. The similar design I used 30 years ago was still in good shape after ten years of hard use. Amazing price if you consider this bag is only a little pricier than lesser MIC offerings. And the Co-Op bag is constructed far more durable. Great colors. Ty REI. Review by Eagle Scout, Environmental Scientist, Forestry worker.

Great Pack

2 years ago

REI really hit it out of the ballpark with this pack, the comfort and price point cannot be beat. I received the extended size hip belt has I’m a bigger guy (6’4” 300+lbs) and boy did it blow my mind how much extra room I had to tighten it down! I’m not sure how big the standard one is but if you truly aren’t a heavier person I can’t imagine you’d need the extended size. That being said, I love how REI is catering to all body types now. I’ve got an old “dinosaur skeleton” brand backpacking pack that the hip belt barely fits so this was such a treat. I only used it on day hikes since I live outside Seattle and the weather hasn’t exactly been optimal for an overnights but the pack was comfortable loaded up with 30-50lbs each hike to simulate a longer trip. The last thing I’ll mention is that there is a little QR code to scan to show you how to load/tighten everything down properly, I thought that was very helpful. Overall it’s a great pack and I can’t wait to continue to use it more!

Good economy or starter pack

2 years ago

I want to call this a great beginner backpack but due to short comings I cannot recommend it. Others may be fine with the one feature that I cannot overlook. The top of the back is fixed on the back and does not allow for any oversize packing of the main compartment. If you are ok with this situation then the pack is great. Pros + The water bottles are on the hip in the space between the hip belt and pack. + Ample straps. + Bottom straps hold a sleeping bag or tent better than most packs. Doesn't slack up when walking and get loose. + Zippers work fine. + Pockets on hip belt are well placed and of adequate size. + Hip belt, shoulder, and load control straps adequate. + Love how the hip belt does not have a ton of extra length. Some packs have so much it flops around during the hike. + Torso Size adjustable. + Outside pocket is large. + Plenty of load control straps. Cons - The top is sewn on the back and does not "float" to allow for extra storage in the main compartment (e.g., tent poles). This is a huge downside and is enough for me to recommend people stay away. - The placement of the water bottle pockets is such that they are even harder to get to while hiking than the standard pockets on the side of the pack. Also bottles fall out pretty easily when moving the pack when not on your pack (or transporting it to the trail head). - My adult son described the color as cat vomit. But the pack is on my back so I don't have to look at it while hiking. Not sure the minty green would be any better. - No straps or attachment points for straps on the top of the pack. - Pocket on the top was rather small. Rain gear (jacket and gaiters) had trouble fitting and not room for extras. Most packs can add the rain fly and other small items that need immediate access. - Main compartment drawstring hard to undo one handed, when hands are cold/numb, or with gloves. Not terrible just so so. On the plus side it doesn't undo itself like some others that are easier to manipulate.
