Patagonia Arbor Classic Pack 25L vs REI Co-op Tarn 65 Pack - Kids'

Black/topo print Kavu Rope Sling. I LOVE this little guy. I can fit my 1L water bottle or my mirrorless camera in here, which makes it a great roadtripping/adventure buddy.

Super uncomfortable, the shoulder straps were hard as a rock and the back was super rigid due to the plate, but the cushioning is not soft nor supportive. No way I would take this on a hike or anywhere long distance without having sore shoulders afterwards. Bought an Osprey pack for 30% cheaper that carried about as much as this one but was 3x as comfortable.

This backpack is so spacious! I have primarily been using it for hiking/camping and climbing. It can fit all the gear I need and then some. It's very durable and seems like it would hold up well in rainy/wet conditions.

I bought this pack for my son to use for Scouting; his only use of the pack was for an overnight hiking trip with his Troop. Overall, the pack was one of the only kid-sized packs that would fit his frame and the associate at our store in Pittsburgh spent the time to fit him (Thank you!). Because of this, we ended up ordering from REI.com since we wanted one of a different color than the store had in stock

I needed a new backpack for school, I hadn't bought one in almost 5 years so I've been waiting and waiting to find the perfect one. This is definitely it! It's perfectly fits my laptop and books without being too clunky or heavy. I was worried about the size being a little too small but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it's a really great size! I'm happy I found this on sale, since Patagonia is usually so expensive.

While Northface makes a good quality bag this bag is too narrow for use as a book bag for a high school or college student. The opening is small and my son struggles to get more than 3 books in and out of the bag. If looking to just pack your laptop, a jacket and one book for a hiking trip then this is your bag but not for a book bag for a student. I am sorry I made this purchase
