Teton Sports Scout 3400 Internal Frame Backpack

The backpack is not at all comfortable and I would not recommend it to someone who would use it much. But considering its low price, its still worth buying it, if you wont be walking around too much.

I did a lot of shopping for this style of pack and this was cheaper by almost half from any other similar pack I could find. I was a little nervous about the quality since it was so much less than the competition but I was very pleased at its construction. It is an awesome pack, especially at this price.

After trying this pack on, I have discovered that even though it fits my torso (and would fit many people larger or smaller, due to adjustable torso, the shoulder straps are at a strange angle and the inside edges bear the backward pressure of the pack into your shoulders too much. Basically my only complaint is uneven strap contact with the body. adjustment cannot correct for this. Otherwise a very affordable pack!

Took this on a 3 day trip down Skyline to the Sea from Big Basin, CA.

This is a smaller pack, but that's not really a complaint since it is clear when purchasing what size you are getting, just something to consider.

If you are planning long trips, you will be strapping a fair amount of gear to the outside of the thing.

My only real complaint is the side and sleeping bag pockets are a little on the small side. The main compartment is fine for me.

With my bearvault (BV500) strapped to the outside I had plenty of room inside for gear and i pack on the heavy side.

Total pack weight before adding water for this trip was ~45 lbs, I didn't have any trouble with the pack.

The pack is very comfortable, nicely adjustable and durable.

It's a little on the heavy side for it's size, so if you are looking for something for ultralighting, this is definitely not it.

Overall a very good bag, especially for the price.

I bought this pack originally for the price. It looked to be good quality and the price was very right. I am extremely happy with it. In fact, I recommended it to a friend who is also extremely pleased. Pretty lightweight and very sturdy. There are lots of pockets and areas to tie up what won't fit in the pack. The pack is super comfortable once you get down the correct way to pack it. The rainfly works great as well. There are much lighter packs out there, but if you aren't trying to go ultralight this is a good choice.
