High Sierra Sentinel 65 Backpacking Backpack

SO VERY AWESOME
April 04, 2012

I have been actively looking for a good, light and roomy pack for quite some time. I lost a hand-me-down pack I had years ago and my boyfriends is good, but dated, so I finally took the plunge and I love the sentinel 65! It's big enough for all my stuff and still comfy. The shoulder adjustments come in handy and previously I hadn't found a pack that fit just right, until now! There are so many things you can adjust to get the perfect fit. It's a little cumbersome at first, but if you have help from someone adjusting it while it's on your back you'll have no problem. I'm pretty tall and thin and it adjust fairly well, but is a tad big if your a size 2 or under, but the shoulder adjustments more than pick up the slack. I did a lot of investigating before spending a chunk of change and I'd say it's definitely the best bang for the buck!

Great entry level backpack

The best part is the integrated sleeping bag pouch. Overall, this is a great backpack. It is surprisingly light. The varied compartments hold alot. I just took it on my first hike and loved the fact that I could carry everything I needed in such an easy fashion. It did rain, so I used the rainflap and it worked well to protect the contents of the bag. This is definitley a backpack I would recommend to a weekend hiker such as myself.

Great 1st Time Backpack

This backpack has been comfortable, durable, and a real joy to own. I have used it over twenty times so it has definitly been worth the money. I imagine it has 5 more years left in it before I buy a better one. It has plenty of pockets, is rather adjustable, and has left me with not much to complain about other than cheap plastic buckles one of which has broke. With a lifetime warranty on the product where can you go wrong?!

very good purchase
