    Bought it for my son for a overnight backpacking trip but ended up using it myself. The easy adjust system did not have any instructions and was confusing. The mesh back was nice and kept my back from sweating. The price was right for someone just starting out.

          My eleven year old Boy Scout just used this on a winter camp out in Northern MN. The temp sank to -15F and the pack performed well. As a Scoutmaster, I am recommending this as a start pack to all new Boy Scouts in our Troop.

          I bought this pack for my 11 year old son to use for Scouts. We have done several backpacking trips and the pack works well. I wish it had better pockets for water bottles, but my son hasn't complained about it. Its a great starter pack for the money.

                        A:

                        You can insert a hydration reservoir into the pack. It could use up to a 100 oz reservoir. This pack just is hydration ready so there is no outlet port for the tube or specific sleeve for the reservoir. You would have to gerry rig the tube through the zippered opening of the pack and you might get some condensation around the reservoir which may affect other items in your pack.

                      how do you measure for these youth packs

                        A:

                        How To Fit a Backpack
                        When determining what size pack to buy, how tall you are is not nearly as important as your torso length. A short-legged person and a long-legged person may be exactly the same height, but require different sized packs.

                        To measure your torso length, you will need some assistance and a flexible measuring device like a tailor's tape. Have a friend measure along your spine from the seventh vertebra (the bump where your shoulder meets the neck) down to a point even with the iliac crest (the top of the hip-bones). The distance along your spine between those two points is your torso length.

                        When measuring for hipbelts, it is important to measure not the waist or where your pants ride, but in the center of your hipbone (1/2 inch below the top of the hips) where the hipbelt should be worn.

                        This info can also be found under the customer service link.

                        A:

                        12 years and up. However check the torso length. Go up the side of your body to find the top of your hip. From this point draw a perpendicular line to the lower lumbar region of your spin that is at the same height as the top of your hip. From this point draw a line up your spine to the C-7 vertebra which is the most prominent vertebra that sticks out of the back of your neck when you touch your chin to your chest. The measurement between these 2 points is your torso length.
