  • nice quick video! i prefer the adjustable torso pack. for small day hikes i use a bug out bag.

  • @TomZentra the audio was fine!

  • i have zero zippers on my pack and it is 90 liters at least

  • Trinkets. My Kelty has the detachable waistpack and I love it. I wouldn't buy another pack without one.

  • plz don't forget about external frames

  • Thanks for the info- It'll be used wisely!

  • There was a director of this short clip?

  • Another video with BAD AUDIO!

  • Which one of these backpacks is recommended most for general backpacking/hostelling? I backpacked around Western Europe ten years ago and I used the Continental Journey made by Eagle Creek. It was recommended to me by several people on Lonely Planet's Thorn Tree.

    Looking back, this was not a great pack for the back. I walked for miles. Most other hostellers had packs looking more like the ones in this video. I've been meaning to go hostelling again ever since. Hopefully I will this century!

  • Did she really say "trinkets"?
