| 131 of 133 people found the following review helpful  Sleeping bag pocket too small, but bag is still a good one, By Curt Daniels (Columbus, GA) - See all my reviews This review is from: TETON Sports Explorer 4000 Internal Frame Backpack (Sports) I read the earlier review about the sleeping bag pocket being too small, but bought this backpack anyway. Sure enough, you weren't lying! As soon as I took the backpack out of the box, I grabbed my sleeping bag and tried to stuff it in there. After about 5 minutes of jockying it around, I did manage to BARELY get the thing zipped up. However, the sleeping bag I used is my summer bag. If I tried to stuff my winter bag in there, with bivy sack and stuff sack, there's no way it would all fit. This can be a problem if you're intending on doing a legitimate backpacking trip in high altitudes with cold weather. All this being said, I'm in the Army and I take a different approach to this issue than most civilian hikers probably do. In my opinion, you don't need to have your sleeping bag available for quick access. The only time you use it is at night, when you'll have time to dig in your bag and get it anyway. Since the sleeping bag pocket is too small, just throw your sleeping bag...

I've been backpacking and WWOOFing through Europe for over 9 months and I still have a few to go. This bag is basically my home.Let's start with the pros. PRICE - quite affordable for a bag of its class. There are many convenient pockets and straps. I'm able to fit everything I need to survive. It's effectively waterproof and has the rain-fly thing for heavier rains. The material is extremely durable - hardly a scuff on it and not a single tear in any of the fabric (seams are another story; see below). It shrinks down alright when not fully stuffed. And most importantly, when adjusted correctly, it IS comfortable. This is crucial for me, as I've been doing a fair amount of hitchhiking and find myself walking 5-15km at a stretch if is lady luck isn't shining. If it's got all of those pros, what cons could possibly drive me to only give it 3 out of 5 stars? The seams. Zippers, straps and... Read more 47 of 49 people found the following review helpful Sports Explorer 4000, Will it be enough?, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: TETON Sports Explorer 4000 Internal Frame Backpack (Sports) This is my initial review on the bag. I will add a followup review after a 3 day backpacking trip next weekend.Pros: (Quite a few, generally happy with initial inspection) Lots of adjustments A decent number of pockets and options for storage(example would be a mesh velcro pocket on the face of the bag good for maps, energy bars, etc.) Straps seem to be of decent overall quality, and there is what looks like a sleeping bag/sleeping pad strap near the bottom of the bag. There is also two straps on the very top of the bag that seem like they could be used to strap something down. Nice to have the option to securely strap some gear to the outside of the bag. 2 Mesh water bottle pockets on either side, couldn't tell by the product description or pictures but they are there! Phew. Bright Yellow Rain Cover is located in a nifty pocket at the very bottom of the bag, nice feature. A few loops on the outside for strapping things down. Holds up to... Read more |
