 High Peak Pocatello 70 Liter Internal Frame Backpack By: High Peak Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 11 More Information Not bad.  On: 2008-07-22As far as i know it seems pretty decent. its not as big as i expected but the compartments and zipper to open up the whole pack make it more efficient. Fabulous deal!!  On: 2008-06-18I was uincredibly impressed with this pack. It was very affordable compared to all the other packs I looked at online but since it got such great reviews from others I decided to take a gamble and get it for our backpacking trip around Costa Rica. The pack has tons of different storage pockets so that you can organize things and reach them easily (my boyfriends much pricier bag was just one giant tube which he had to unpack and repack to find things), there is also a zipper down the side of the main pack to reack things at the bottom without unpacking the whole bag. My favorite pat was that when the whoe thing is zipped up and buckled none of the pockets can be reached without unbuckling the bag so I didnt have to worry about pickpocketers getting into the bag while it was on my back in crouded streets, bus stations, etc. It held up very well for being packed very tightly and on the move for 2 plus weeks. High Peak 70 Liter Pack  On: 2008-03-07This pack is an excellent product for casual campers. It packs enough weight for a one or two night camping trip lots of room On: 2008-03-06i think this pack is great it fit all my gear was easy to pack and find my gear lots of pockets and comfort on my back was good lots of room for adjustments to fit many size people .will be buying another one for my kid soon High Peak Backpack On: 2008-02-14I bought this backpack for my Boy Scout and he loves it! Very roomy. He can fit his sleeping bag, sleeping mat, tent, mess kit, food, clothes, toiletries, and water very comfortably. Very light weight and is well supported on his body. Love the back adjuster for various body sizes. I would recommend this for any Boy Scout for hiking and camping. Backpacking on a Budget! On: 2008-01-25First of all let me say I am extremely happy with this purchase. For what I was paying I did not expect to get such a nice backpack. Keep in mind I have not used this pack in real world conditions, nor have I filled it to capacity and worn it around to see how it performs. It does seem to have quality construction, and for the price you cant afford to not buy one. Im glad I bought this pack for my first one instead of spending three times as much on a pack that would probably be just a little bit better. If you buy this pack you automatically save enough money to buy things to fill it with. Here are my pros and cons. Pros: More pockets than you can shake a stick at, seriously pockets for everything and pockets everywhere. Nice Rain fly location right at the bottom of the pack, which is a good location because if you put it away wet it wont get other pockets wet, whereas on other packs the rain fly pocket is at the top. Comfortable to wear, with lots of great padding. Plenty of straps so you can pack the pack full of things and strap it all nice and secure. The Price! Cons: The sleeping bag compartment at the bottom of the bag is a bit small. I bought a +15 degree sleeping bag and it just barely fits. I was going to buy a -20 degree sleeping bag but now I am glad I didnt because there isnt a chance it wouldve fit. So, I dont recommend this pack for people who have thick sleeping bags. I am not happy with the water bottle holders because now that my sleeping bag is jammed into its compartment the water bottle holders are not as big. Great value!!!! On: 2008-01-03We bought this for our 21 year old son and it has all the features that he hoped for and more! I was happy that it was adjustable so I didnt need to know his exact measurements and he was thrilled with all of the features and storage. He was especially surprised and impressed that the rain cover is included! He has shown it off and compared it to everyone!! Great buy! On: 2007-08-24I really enjoyed this pack. It was the cheapest that I could find anywhere, and worked out very well when I went backpacking in Europe for 2 weeks! Very durable...waterproof...and as comfortable as a 19kg pack could be! :-) Great buy! On: 2007-08-23I really enjoyed this pack.

I used it for 10 consecutive days and had no problems with it. There are so many different pockets for organization. The clips are strong. The padding on the back is flexible and adjustable to your size (s-xl). Great buy. Nice, simple pack On: 2006-10-24I took this pack on safari and basically kicked the crap out of it. It was great. Enough pockets to keep your stuff separate, but not so many that you couldnt remember where you put things. Very comfortable, and easy to reach the straps to adjust the pack. I carried water separately, so I cant comment on the other reviewers issue with the water pockets. Very decent pack at an affordable price. On: 2006-06-04Im one who think that good things shouldnt cost an arm and a leg. This pack has some very nice features that the $200.00+ packs have. Bellows pockets. Plenty of room for the sleeping bag, bunches of space, easy zippers, a rain cover and is fully adjustable in all the right places. Cons: Its a bit heavy at 5.5lbs ..but Ive seen quite a few of the more expensive packs at the same weight. Also the bottle pockets arent easy to reach with the pack on and loaded ...can be done but not easy. Ive paid more and had fewer features than this pack. Not a bad buy at all ...now Im off to the Cascades for a good season of testing! Fall Update: After a summer backpacking around the Washington Wilderness areas, I would still have to say that this pack was a good buy. Plenty of room and easy to get to everything. So much room! Although a summer of backpacking sure helped point out the bad parts, two of them mainly: The back is heavy and it doesnt completely sit on your back well. The contour allows air to the back which is nice but it is as if the lumbar support is off a bit ..a little to low mainly. At the same time, the pros outweighed the cons enough so that I didnt go back to my old pack which is *much* lighter with better padding and I used this pack through the whole 2006 season.
