MOUNTAINTOP 50L Internal Frame Backpack Hiking for Men Women with Rain Cover

These backpack is absolutely perfect! Lightweight, durable, sturdy and comfortable. It’s got enough pockets for all of your extra items. Definitely recommend it! Happy camping :)

I was initially impressed by the quality of this pack for the price. You get alot of bag for your money. seems like alot of thought was put into its design. There are straps everywhere! So many straps that it takes some getting used to. This bag is definitely designed with external storage in mind, so its real capacity is much more than 50L. Also, I had to use the very top torso setting and I'm 6' tall; this bag is not made for tall people. Aesthetically, it is a beautiful product!After loading up this bag with my usual gear i noticed some deal breakers that ruin this product for me.1. If you use the top mounted straps for anything, the weight will expose the inside of your bag. This is a major problem if you run into rain or snow.2. The bottom straps and sleeping bag compartment are not capable of carrying a normal sized sleeping bag. This requires you either purchase a more expensive/less capable compact design sleeping bag or load your sleeping bag using the top straps of this bag(the only ones long enough), exposing the inside of the bag to weather and placing alot of rear torque on your posture.3. I cannot prove it, but I suspect that the clips on this bag are not rated for heavy load. This is definitely an ultralight bag. I wouldn't load this bag with more than 25 lbs. It strained to hold up my usual 34 lbs.4. Comfort while loaded was below average. I've used Walmart bags that have better cushioning. After a couple of days hiking you would probably hate it.Pros: Lots of external storage, good weight, loads of features for this price point.Cons: Cannot accommodate most sleeping bags, uncomfortable with any serious weight.Bottomline: A great bag if you want to go extra lightweight for 1-3 day hikes. Not an all around pack. I will sadly be returning this product.

It is very comfortable when fully packed and there is much more room than I expected with extra pockets and straps.

Decent size, I like it. A few random loose threads here and there, no big deal.When the pack is loaded for a couple days out in the woods (Autumn in Minnesota), the side pockets for water bottles are not usable. The mesh and elastic don't stretch remotely enough to insert a couple containers, though I might possibly be able to get a small bottle of water from the gas station in each one. I'd rather carry my Grayl Geopress and a 32oz stainless steel water bottle though, so I forego the mesh pockets and pack the steel bottle inside, and hang the Grayl by a carabiner on the outside from a side strap.That said, I got a lot stuffed in this pack: USGI Poncho and poncho liner (woobie), Swagman Roll (on top of the pack), double size hammock w/net & straps, 10'x10' UV-coated nylon tarp, Snugpak TravelPak, Stanley Adventure Cook Set with an MSI cup nested on it, a UCO single candle lantern and a couple extra candles, 24oz plastic water bottle with 5 chemlight sticks in it, two Silky folding saws (hard and soft woods), two Mora Basic 511 knives, a signal mirror, 400' paracord, two prepared 50' ridgelines (paracord), 50' of lighter-weight paracord, 1lbs roll of #36 bank line, Klymit Hammock V sleeping pad and X pillow, an orienteering compass, a lensatic compass, a 6 person hiking first aid kit, 4 bags of Survival Tabs, a shemagh and 5 bandanas, 6 aluminum tent stakes, Polaris 10-inch tanto blade (strapped to the outside), a bedroll cooker with large and small grates, an Arcturus Survival Blanket, a couple different ferro rods, a small magnifying lens, pocket knife, folding shovel, a solar battery bank for USB devices (with light and cord for my phone), a Biolite solar lantern (the small one), a solar chargeable flashlight, a couple small 4 hour tealight candles, a whistle (besides the one built-in to this pack), a wool stocking cap, a SilverFire SS Scout Stove and frying pan (it all packs together), a Platypus 3 Liter gravity filter, along with a couple other odds and ends. With the strap lengths this pack has, I still have room for a couple pairs of pants, 3-4 pairs of socks, 2-3 short sleeve shirts, a couple flannel long sleeve shirts, and a couple sets of under garments (thermal and non-thermal) so I have at least two complete changes of clothes just in case, along with layers I can add or remove as needed. All that is in a drybag that gets strapped on the base/back of the pack outside of the sleeping bag compartment. I still have a little room inside for the freeze dried food, and a small cold bag with whatever meats I might need for a nice little dinner, and perhaps bacon and a few eggs in a small carrier for breakfast one morning. We mostly carry freeze dried stuff, but it is nice to cook over the fire for at least one meal. I also have a Coleman Peak 1 burner, a can of fuel, and an Exotac fireSLEEVE with w fresh Bic lighter in there too, along with a few extra loose carabiners tucked into the pockets on the waist belt. I also have a couple 1 liter water storage bags tucked into the Platypus kit, and a mylar survival blanket tucked into the first aid kit just in case.Yes this thing is heavy with all this stuff loaded in and on it, but I'm not out hiking for the day or days either. It'll be an hour or two walk/hike to the camping spot (wherever it may be), and then we're done hiking until the day we leave so the weight isn't that much of an issue for me. Besides, my 7 year old son doesn't have the frame or muscle to carry much in his own pack beyond his clothes, hammock w/net & straps, a couple bags of the dried food, his snacks, his own water bottle, and he usually sneaks in a couple toys or something too. Add to that an REI branded 3.5 inflatable sleep pad and a sleeping bag rated to 40F. He also has a cheap plastic poncho to use if needed. He also brings one or two of his Scouts books (fishing. hiking, map reading, knots, camping, etc.) to read and practice while we're out. He also carries a couple Ka-Bar Tactical Sporks to eat our food with (I have a stainless spoon and fork combo I use for cooking along with the pocket knife).With all this gear he gets his hammock free of bugs, with a rain cover and sleeping bag, and blanket if needed to stay warm. In other words: his hammock, the Arcturus as a rain fly, his sleeping bag and pad, my woobie. I get a similar setup with the Swagman and SnugPak stuff, Klymit pad and pillow (kids doesn't want a pillow), besides the hammock and 10x10 tarp.Point is, you can get a lot in this bag actually. I just wish that the mesh pockets for bottles were larger or had more stretch to them or something so that I could carry real hiker water bottles in them. As it stands with all this gear, those mesh pockets aren't usable for much as I'm about filling the width and depth of this pack with all this gear. That said, if you take the time to do the adjustments to the straps and things, its pretty comfortable. You still feel the weight of course, and you need to be logical in your packing to help balance things out inside the pack, but it's pretty comfy for the couple hours I've walked with it so far. That may change as time wears on, and this thing is still pretty new to me, so I can only hope at this point that it'll hold up for a few years to come.Speaking of, one other thing that bothers me... the rain cover packs into a little zippered space on the outside/bottom of the pack. That's fine, but why is the rain cover attached via a strap to the pack? It's a strap with a buckle, but it isn't adjustable or anything like that, so I'm guessing it was done just to prevent you from losing it should it fall off or get snagged on a tree branch or something? Whatever the case, it is kind of annoying that I can't remove the cover for another use while we're camped.One trip under our belts so far with this pack, and hoping to get two more in before it gets too much colder overnight. I don't want him to go camping just so he can come home sick with a cold or something.I don't have enough time on this pack yet to say whether I recommend it or not. But so far, yeah, it seems pretty good. On that note, the Product Registration on their website fails every time I try it (several times or several days) saying either the Product Number (M6396junlv) or the PIN from the back of the included Membership Card is wrong. So I guess maybe that says something about the company that makes the product, which gives me reason to carry a little bit of doubt as to the overall reliability of the product. In either case, we're planning several outings when Spring rolls around, so I may need to update this review after I've used it on a few trips.

This pack looks great, but has some issues. To many straps which sounds odd but true. The brain will not stay true on the top and out of adjustment. The side since straps are overlapped by tge brain straps. There is plenty of room in the pack but tge outside front zippered compartment is almost useless when the pack is filled. But the worst problem is the shoulder straps. They would be comfortable accept the amount of pullback created by the lack of kidney padding. There's a half inch difference from the shoulder strap to the kidney pad. The pack will be perpetually pulling back on you while you are using. Dissatisfied to say the least. Will most likely be sending it back.

First off, you need to take in consideration the cost of this pack in comparison to big name brand backpacks. We're avid hikers and backpackers. We have a number of high end backpacks.This backpack was loaded with pounds of gear, food and water.Then went on a hike in the snow and in the sand of a beach for a day.The backpack fits best for people 5 foot 3 inches to around 5 foot 10 inches in height.It's very comfortable with 30 pounds in the conditions we tested it in. The backpack has great side pockets that are large enough for water bottles, trek poles or a tent. The hip belt has nice pockets and has great padding. It is water bladder ready, the brain can be removed to reduce pack weight.This pack was rated 5 stars from us due to price, comfort and useability. The stitching was inspected throughout, and it had no flaws. The material is a pretty good quality and was cut and fit without flaws.Overall. It's a great deal for a person that wants to get into backpacking, or buy a descent pack, and doesn't want to spend hundreds on a backpack. It has the right compartments and comfort to meet your needs.
