MOUNTAINTOP 80L Internal Frame Backpack for Man & Women Backpacking Hiking Backpack with Rain Cover

Did not have to use the rain cover and I kept it inside of our tent instead of the vestibule so it didn't get very dirty, but it fit everything I needed for the backpacking trip at a great price. It fits down to a 16in torso okay (my wife is petite at 5', 130 lbs) but you'll probably have to get an expensive Gregory backpack if your torso length is under 16 and you need 55+L. For me (5'8", 260lbs) the pack was perfect. It carried the weight of my stuff nicely except the brain of the bag... It can be awkward when stuff is put in there like a puffy jacket or something. I wish it was just a flap instead of a brain because it feels like wasted Ls. The front pouch doesn't stretch, so you can only put certain things in there if your pack is full. The side pockets are great and the hipbelt is awesome. Fit my 46in hips nicely. I would buy again and would buy this for my wife if her torso was 1 inch longer.

Excellent pack for the money. Most lightweight backpacking setups cost 100s more and offer less features. This pack has a built in rain jacket, great support for attachments, and plenty of compartment space while being reasonably light. You can find lighter packs for sure but they are WAY more expensive. This one is still comparable weight wise with many of the far more expensive brands. I recommend it!

Just completed the Rim to Rim to Rim hike at the Grand Canyon which is approx 47-50 miles, with side missions, as well as dramatic elevation changes. I lucked out and had dry weather so I can't speak about the rain fly on the bottom of the bag but there is one and it seems to fit over a full bag. I used the 80L bag to carry my supplies over a 5 day 4 night hike and it held it all and with plenty of zippered pockets to add more if necessary. In the pics my sleeping mat was inside the bag but there are various locations to place a sleeping mat. I brought a sleeping mat that was way too big and heavy but the bag held it just fine. The shoulder straps felt decently comfortable but it could of had a bit more padding and with all the slide buckles I was able to adjust to find a comfortable fit. The bag is adjustable to fit your torso beautifully and the hip belt gives a nice snug fit so the weight sits on your hips nicely. There are pockets on the hip belt but they aren't easy to get into because the hip belt is usually going to be somewhat tight depending on your bag weight which for me was approx 35-40lbs. The side pockets can hold a 32oz Nalgene bottle but like the hip pockets they are too tight to reach back and pull the bottle out and put back. I had to have someone pull and put back the bottle for me. I used my 3L water blabber and it fit fine with the hose coming over the right shoulder and going through the chest strap to hold it. I liked this bag and was kinda impressed with the durability. No tears, zipperes zipped, and hike completed. In summary it is a solid bag that will do what you need it to do. Just plan right and pack it balanced and it will do the job.

I took this on a 7 day mountain backpack trip with a group of teen kids. Each day we tracked 4 to 5 miles up and down the mountain. It had Plenty of ways to adjust it but I found myself not having to make adjustments as much as the more expensive ones that others had. It worked great

Great lightweight comfortable pack with lots of easy access pockets.. I shopped around a lot and visited many camping supply stores and websites before buying this pack. I used it on Boy Scout hikes and on a 10 day hike at Philmont in 2019. I waited a year to review it to ensure it lasted and I enjoyed it as much as I first loved it. Would still EASILY recommend it. Matched many of the other much higher priced packs. Don't buy anything cheaper as you will regret it.

I am 66 years old and have been buying and using mountaineering packs since I was a teenager and this one, dollar for dollar-pound for pound is the best one I have owned. Perfect in every way 5/5 would buy again in a heartbeat.

This pack has a lot going for it, but what I can't understand is how some of the straps are crazy long, and yet they skimped on the chest strap. That is literally the only thing that makes this pack horribly uncomfortable. I will post a review of this pack on my youtube under "Katie Wandering" if anybody wants to see it.
