 Tall Guy 6'5" Good Backpack! March 1, 2010
Christopher Hizzle (Salt Lake City, UT)

This Backpack is awesome! This is the first internal frame pack I've purchased, and it's freaking sweet. Reading the reviews I decided on this one due to some reviews saying it worked for tall people. Short people can use this too!, the shoulder straps are adjustable - I never thought a backpack could do that, but the whole shoulder strap contraption actually shifts up and down, giving a great fit for anyone 6'5" (like myslef, and 220lbs) to shorter, I'm guessing kids could fit super comfortable with it. But I'm not just talking about straps leading from bottom of backpack to the pit area, thoes adjust too, but the whole thing does, never seen anything like it.
The only thing bad about it I can think of is the sleeping bag compartment is too small, I just unzipped the seperater thing making it one large bag. Which I kinda like cause it forces me to get a smaller (and more lightweight) bag for the hiking and snowshoeing. Oh, and the inside compartment barley fit my huge, 35" snowshoes.
This is freaking sweet, for the price, freaking sweet. I used it on one miserable snowshoeing trip so far, and it held up great. I packed too much stuff making the snowshoeing trip horrible(first time ever snowshoeing, learned my lesson), but my back and shoulders were comfortable with this bag - The waist strap helps a ton, and with big plastic clip-to-gether things it was super easy to do up and undo with gloves on. Time will tell on the zippers, and fabric, and plastic clip-to-gether things hold up, but from the first abusive trip, and from just looking at it, I'm sure it will. I would for sure buy again!
Hope this helps the tall people on their purchase, we need to look out for each other!

I searched for many months looking for an affordable backpack and I really got lucky with this one! It is a very durable pack. It has plenty of size adjustment options and clinches down very comfortable onto your back and shoulders. The side mesh pockets have a nylon lining on the rim which re-enforce the pockets and can handle a 32oz. water bottle. My sleeping bag fit properly into the bottom pocket and left enough room for 3-4+ days of gear in the main compartment. I would make sure to purchase the Explorer 4000 rather than the Scout 3500. The extra space will come in handy for multi-day trips. You should note that this is not a ultralight backpack. It may be fine for an adult but a bit to heavy for younger kids or women. If you are looking to finally get out on the trail for a few days you won't go wrong with this pack.

I bought this for a trip to Europe where I was going to follow the tour de France after a buisness meeting in Italy. It worked great I like the access or the ability to expand the pack all the way to the bottom. made it easy when walking from the train station didn't have to drag luggage. I travel for buisness and pleasure and am thinking of using this bag more often. As everybody else stated the zippers where a little tight at first but I never had a problem with any hanging up. I think in time they wil loosen up. The pack was comfortable sat on my hips well and the strapping was adjustable for almost anyone. I went for this size due to other reviews and am glad I did was able to carry the items I picked up along the way. the bottom pouch help my sleeping bag well with out it hanging off the back like an external frame pack. I'm an old backpacker wish I had the internal frame along time ago.
Buy This Pack!! July 17, 2010

I have been looking at packs for a few weeks and decided to purchase the Teton Explorer 4000(Gray) because of the features, good reviews and bargain price. It arrived today and I'm not disappointed! The shipping box was in sad shape, dunnage was minimal and the packing tape was messed up but the pack was unmolested inside a plastic bag. That was the worse part.
The material seems to be of good, sturdy quality and I don't concur with some of the negatives described in other reviews here. The zippers do not stick, they open and close just fine. I did fit my Sleep Cell 30 degree mummy bag in the sleeping bag compartment no problem - I could even squeeze in a few wash cloths or other small articles if I had to. Yes, if you have a giant 5 lb bag, it probably won't fit here. The straps and buckles are very sturdy and I see no difference after comparing them to the straps and buckles on Kelty, Jansport or Northface bags I examined in stores. If they do break, Walmart sells buckles and straps for pennies - made by Outdoor Products. I will carry extra with me when I use it.
This bag has plenty of straps, loops (daisy chains) and pockets to carry everything you need. It even has a cinch strap above the side with the two pockets. It has a rubber backing to protect the bag and will cinch down your tent poles, walking stick or whatever you can fish down between the two pockets and bag - remember these pockets are pass-through which allows you to slip items behind them. The pack is very comfortable and rests on your hips very well. I did try it out packed full for an hour.
The lifetime warranty on the tag says: "... original owner only and excludes normal wear and tear (e.g., zippers that wear out after extended use) or misuse. If, after inspection, a product is determined by us to be defective in workmanship or materials, we will repair or replace it at our option, at no cost to the original owner."
I will give an update after I use it in the field.
Update: 6 Sep 2010
Packed it with 40 lbs and hiked 12 miles in St. Mary's Wilderness, VA. Stayed 2 nights in these remote mountains and it performed fine. There were no malfunctions - no complaints.
