High Sierra Pathway Internal Frame Hiking Backpack, Mineral/Slate/Glacier, 60L

I wanted a versetile travel back that can be carry-on compliant. I was looking at Osprey but the pricing really put me off since I couldn't justify the cost. I found this bag was a better fit for a smaller woman. I'm 5'4, 114 lbs, slim/smaller build with narrow shoulders. I felt this bag had a lot of good support and it didn't feel uncomfortable for me. I got tired of guessing if the bag fits so I went around the airport taking photos of the carry on limit measurers. This bag barely fits into the 22x14x9 limits. I did not over pack. I only have three packing cubes (one large, one medium, one small), a toiletries bag, a makeup bag, a small shoes pouch, and one MacBook Air 13 inch. I deducted one star for the following reasons:- Some of the harnesses and belt loops came frayed.- Some loose threading (cosmetic)- New item came dirty (I cleaned it) and without a plastic wrapping to protect it during shippingOverall, I'm happy with this purchase.

This pack was put through the paces in a trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. It came through without any damage and carried everything needed. Its weight was not excessive and the shape of the pack prevents hanging it up on low branches and in/out of the canoe. I'm happy with this purchase and may be needing another soon.

This is the second High Sierra backpack that I have. I really like them both. I had tried a fewer of the cheaper packs on Amazon but the materials were not as high quality as this pack. I like the thought and engineering that has gone into this pack. The pads are very comfy and are the same as my 2yr old High Sierra pack. After 2yrs the padding has not faded. This pack has 2 exterior large water bottle holders. This is very nice if you have 3 kids. This pack is targeted toward someone that's 5' 9" or smaller. The shoulder straps would not work well for a large person. I"m 5'8" and 180lbs. If I was any bigger the pack would not fit my back well.

A small bag if you want something compact. It not very roomy with the still hard back limiting on the amount you can jam inside. The stiffness also make it a little harder to shove underneath the seat on a plane vs a soft back.The materials feel sturdy but this makes the weight to size ratio a bit on the heavy side. I do like the hip strap as that was the main reason I got this pack. I carry a camera clip on the shoulder straps and this pack works well with minimum jiggle.

I purchased this as I needed a rugged daypack where I didn't worry about weight so much or ruining the bag due to the environment (little heavy but lighter bags are also twice the cost). The bag sufficed and was a great value. I still carried 30lbs of camera equipment along with trail necessities with no issue and bag was comfortable. This bag also doubled as a carry-on for my flights. I am not using this bag as my main multi-overnight bag but it will be good for a night or two and great for carrying heavier loads than a normal backpack. I used this in harsh environments and it is holding up with no issues. If you are expecting a $150 dollar plus amenities bag your are looking at the wrong bag but you are getting more with this than any others I have come across in this price range.

Purchased this pack for five to ten mile day hikes. Perfect size for essentials as well as my lunch. Deep pockets keep the water bottles snug. Zippers and other materials high quality. Very comfortable on the back. Lots of internal pockets. Waist belt sits comfortably on hips. A great pack.

I like this bag but there's maybe something wrong that I noticed, when I open the main compartment there's another divider/sub compartment with a reversed zipper without a handle. So, to open that you have to push the reversed zipper. Maybe that's a factory defect.

This belt on this backpack actually clips on, and stays on my hips, so the weight is evenly distributed as it supposed to be, rather than pulling on my shoulders. I would have liked it better I could attach bed roll at the top rather than the bottom, other than that, it's perfect. A good size for travel that can be carried on to plane.

I was kinda hesitant at 1st because of no review here. When it arrived it is just the way i like it. Not too big and not to small. Sits on my back perfectly with all those support. Plus i can remove the frame whenever i want to and it is still comfortable and to use it on a daily basis as laptop bag (just buy a felt sleeve for added protection, as there is no foam infront. back pads only). I think upto a 14 inch laptop can fit on the hydration pocket. Great for flights too, with its dimensions, can pass as carry-on. I can also put more attachments outside during hiking. Not a cheap quality. I like the color. In short can be my best friend for a long time.

For the price the bag it’s pretty good, the size is accurate, the material is decent and it does the job as a carry on

Me hubiera gustado que trajera una bolsa en la parte inferior, pero es bastante espaciosa y con el cierre que abarca toda la mochila es muy sencillo encontrar tus cosas.La bolsa para administrar cosas más pequeñas me aliviano mucho, permite que no sea necesario llevar una bolsa pequeña aparte.

La mochila es muy bonita y tiene un soporte de espalda que ayuda a distribuir mejor el peso, de esas manera la puedes cargar de manera mas cómoda durante mas tiempo. Buen tamaño para senderismo.
