Tahoe Gear Fairbanks Premium Internal Frame Hiking Backpack

Overall quality 4. Value 5.Seems durable throughout, mostly large robust zippers and strong webbing. I would still keep a small sewing kit for any adventure more than a few days. I seemed to think it came with a rainfly--it doesn't. Could have more pockets/organization.Generally, holds a lot of stuff well.

For the money I paid, this is an outstanding pack. Negatives- the stitching is not rugged military grade, but that's why I always carry a sewing kit. Just don't expect you can kick it around on rocks all day without a problem. There is only one small hole for the tube on an internal water bladder, not 2 like the description, and it's very small so I can't fit my Camelbak nozzle through the hole. Positives- After the first day of hiking it broke in well. I thought there would be a couple of points that would give me trouble but after a few hours of hiking it is now super comfortable. It could give more room for adjustments but what it allowed was nice. Lots of room, separate sleep system compartment, the back pouch is large, 2 side pockets are elastic so they can hold bottles and other stuff well, the belt has a small pocket that's not super easy to dig into on the move but can hold a phone, keys, compass, etc. Shoulder straps could be more padded but more comfortable by a long shot than I though they would. I'm very satisfied with this pack and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have the money to drop on a high end pack.

Great backpack for those who want to go backpacking for a few days without spending a ton of money on gear. I've owned mine for awhile now and it still shows no signs of wear or any tears. It has a great skeleton system for your back that really helps distribute weight. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Used for a week in the desert of Utah. Comfortable and useful, all clips and straps held well

Used it for a week and a half in Denali.

Pack arrived before expected date. Upon inspection, I found the pack constructed well and lots of storage. I wish the straps were a little bit longer, but I'll look for some extenders (no big deal), on side zips down and Velcro opens the back to allow easy access placing and taking out.Hip belt and straps fit comfortably on me at 6' with a 48'' waist. It does have only one exit port on right side for water bladder (no big deal).Overall, I am pleased and will do an update after going camping in December.

I purchased this bag for traveling and putting clothes and stuff to last me 1 week and everything fit without any problems.(I am a newbie when it comes to these sort of backpacks and so this was my first purchase of the sort)Points to make:-Several many different pockets. I like that even if oftentimes it seemed like the pocket is too small to fit anything useful.-Once packed it felt heavy on my back but it is easy enough to tie it tight to your body so the load doesn't feel crazy heavy.-Has soft mushy feel so it felt comfortable-the material felt stiff(maybe cuz it is still semi new) but very durable, also it had enough covering so that no water could get inside. The material is waterproof but i didnt test it in heavy downpours so i can't comment on this 100%-on the back it has a little hard detachment im guessing you can put big things in between it (chair or bigger stuff?)Overall I am pretty satisfied with the purchase and plan on using it for my next camping trip(i bought it in the store website WMInnovations)

I purchased this backpack and have used it a few time already and I really like it. It has plenty of pockets and synchable cords on the outside to compress it and get it tighter. I was surprised when I noticed a zipper that allows you to get into the pack from the outside without having to undo the draw strings on the top and makes is much easier to get to the irons on the bottom without having to take everything out. Also with the metal internal frame and adjustable staps the move the pack up and down it really makes it comfortable for the person wearing it to make it just for them. It is made with a very durable canvas and hasn't even shown a hint of wear yet. All in all I highly recommend this pack if you're looking for something around 75 litres. I will definitely be using this pack for quite awhile.
