High Sierra Summit 45 Frame Pack Review

I got the pack because it's cheap and looked like it would suit my purposes. When I got it the label says that it is for torso height of 15"-19" which is most women and medium built guys. This information is not on the website and it really should be. I went to a local store and got measured at 21" torso height and immediately sent the pack back. If you are within the 15"-19" torso height then I would recommend it saying that it looks like a good bargain.

I bought this for my son for scouting. It is light and has plenty of pockets for things and he loves it.
Plenty of adjustments available as he grows.

High Sierra Classic Series 59401 Sentinel 65 Internal Frame Pack Review

I gave this pack its first run last weekend: a short weekender about 7 miles into the deep woods and foothills of South Carolina.
I found the pack to be excellent, especially considering the low price point. It is sufficiently roomy for a 3-season 2/3 day trip and has an excellent strapping system both for fit and compression.
The pack is fitted for larger framed persons; I'm 5' 7", 170 pounds, and found myself cinching up the straps almost to their absolute minimum, but they still functioned perfectly fine.
I also experienced the "Squeaking" problem, and to me it seemed to happen only when the load shifted its weight onto the point where the straps connect to the pack, and occured especially during lateral movement. This is hard to overcome during steep uphills, but keeping the load properly positioned on your hips will elimnate the squeak most of the time.
The attached rain-fly fits the pack very well even when heavily loaded and with an attached bedroll, and keeps it dry even in a heavy rain. The built in hydration ports are especially useful, as I was able to use my Camelback resivoir with the pack.
The long and the short of it is that if you are looking to make a smart buy, this is a quality pack that is smartly built that will not leave you with regrets.

Eagle Creek Travel Gear Medium Truist 55L Bag Review

Eagle Creek Travel Gear Medium Truist 55L Bag

This backpack is really well thought out and very flexible. The quality is outsdanding. In grey, it looks classy enough to serve as a travel bag. It is also probably one of the best deals around. One very minor complaint I have is that the pouch on top of the bag is hard to keep straight - it keeps sliding all over.

Specifically designed for the needs of a traveler--with security, convenience, and comfort features throughout--the Eagle Creek Truist 55L backpack is a terrific companion for longer trips and multi-activity adventures. The Truist 55L is equipped with the company's X-ACT Fixed Suspension system, which includes a removable X-frame made with HDPE frame sheet and pre-curved, aircraft-grade aluminum stays. As a result, the frame is sturdy yet supportive, especially when teamed with the ergonomically contoured shoulder straps, adjustable sternum strap, and pulley-assist hip belt. The X-ACT Fixed Suspension system is designed to fit a wide range of body types and to transfer the load evenly across the torso. In addition, the Truist 55L's 4,125-cubic-inch interior (when expanded) is easy to pack, with a full front panel, a hybrid zippered and drawstring top, and a zippered bottom compartment with an internal stowaway divider. Perhaps the handiest feature, however, is the included Modular Travel Pouch. Designed to fit comfortably on the lumbar, the front, or the back, the pouch detaches easily so you can carry your essential items on small day trips and leave the rest of your gear at the hostel. The pouch includes such additional features as an exterior bungee that functions as an in-transit laundry line, an audio portal, a fleece-lined electronics pocket, a zippered passport pocket, a key fob, and a pen slot.
Of course, security is also a concern while traveling, which is why the pack lets you secure all of the main entry points with a single lock. And should the weather turn nasty, the Truist 55L comes with a detachable rain-safe cover (the cover also provides security in crowded areas). Other details include a fast grab handle for hoisting the bag into overhead compartments, lash points for securing extra gear, exterior side pockets for storing quick-grab items, support for Eagle Creek's Pack-It organizing system, and a top expansion collar that provides extra capacity for last-minute packing.
