  High Sierra Long Trail 90 Frame Pack By: High Sierra Average Rating: 4.5 Total Reviews: 7 More Information Very well built pack with a lot of pockets.  On: 2008-11-18I cant believe that this pack is so inexpensive. It is very well built with a lot of pockets and "D" rings so you can hang things on it. The only thing that I have to change is to extend the straps for the sleeping bag mount because my bag is built for super cold temperatures and is quite large. I have hiked in the Sierras for 14 years and have worked in North Pole Exploration for ten years as well as being a North Pole Expedition Leader, so I have a lot of experience in these things. I am also the author of the story, "Why God Sent Me to the North Pole." The pack even has a GPS pocket on the shoulder strap. It does not have a solid metal frame like my old pack, but the new construction makes a frame unnecessary. Now is the time to stock up on all of your survival equipmet. With the changing economy and political times, you will never know when you will need to have this equipment. This pack is a large size and is built for extended stays in the wild. The straps are well built and make the pack very easy to put on and take off. It has a special rainsuit for the pack, built right into the pack. I highly recommend this pack for anyone who wants to stay in the wild for a week or more. C. Jeff Dyrek. Not for the thin  On: 2008-04-21While I was impressed by the size, price, and quality, I was very frustrated to have to return this bag because in as much as I wanted to keep it, no matter how tight I tried to fasten the waste belt, it simply didnt fit snuggly on hips of my 30 inch waist. Basically the nicely padded hip pads were greater than 30 inches around, preventing further tightening of the waist. Seems like a great bag but theres no way one could carry the weight on their shoulders alone. versatile excellent pack On: 2008-02-24im really impressed with how well built this pack is. lots of storage. the extra pockets on the exterior are great for quick access gear. i have it fully packed now for a 14 day expedition in the ozarks. and there is still alot of room left. all of the load adjustments that can be made to this bag make it very versatile. im 62" 255 lbs and this pack fits perfect. it will fit most people in the range of 58" 150 lbs to 66" 280 lbs. the rain fly in the bottom pouch is always good too. and buying a quality hydration bladder with a filter is a real plus. Great large pack On: 2008-01-02I recently bought this pack and love it. Larger outdoorsmen (I am 62", 220) will find that this pack fits well and is adjustable for taller individuals. Shorter or smaller backpackers may find that the pack is simply too large (it would be difficult to tighten the hip belt for a waist smaller than 34"). The main comparment is huge and the center access makes it useful on short or long treks for getting to your gear. Best hidden feature: the rain fly is semi-attached to the pack and stows in its own pocket at the very bottom of the pack. I would definitely buy this pack again.

Good pack for Big People On: 2007-12-24I really do like this pack but it is designed for large people. I am 66" and I dont even use the torso adjustment although way up. I also have a 32" waist and have to clinch the hip belt although way down. I tried to get a different waist belt but individual parts are not sold any ware I could find. The pack is definitely not for lightweight backpackers but it has the capacity to hold everything you could need on a trip. I like the integrated rain cover and easy access hood and side pockets. I wish the pack had a small pocket on the hip belt; that would be useful for carrying trail snacks. I have really enjoyed this pack so far and I think it should last me a while. A great pack for any multi-day backpacking trip On: 2007-09-27The High Sierra Long Trail pack is a large, 90L pack that is extra large for packing lots of stuff, and customizable to provide a great fit. I bought this pack a few weeks ago and really love it. After taking it on a trial run on a two-day backpacking/hiking adventure, Im really quite pleased. I really like the fact that this pack is adjustable for torso height. One note, though: in order to get the waist strap cinched up good and tight for a good fit, I literally had to cinch up the straps as tight as they would go. My waist size is 32", so if yours is larger, you wont have any problem. But anyone smaller than that should look for the next size down. Over all, the pack can hold a lot, it seems durable, and it has a handy built-in rain fly, which is rather cool. Unlike some packs, the top doesnt detach as a small daypack, but that wasnt a problem for me because I use a smaller camelback daypack instead. If youre bigger and want to carry a lot, Id definitely recommend this one! Good and roomy On: 2007-06-26I bought this pack because I had another high capacity back that had just broken and I needed something big for a week long trip. I was very pleased with this item. Aside from having a huge main compartment and a bottom sleeping bag area, it had just enough outside pockets to organize the stuff you need to get at quickly. It held up very well on the trip and ajustments to the fit were easy to do. The price was resonable also. Very good pack for the money. |
