High Sierra Long Trail 90 Frame Pack

Are you searching for an internal frame backpack for almost any occasion? With the High Sierra Long Trail 90 frame pack, you have got it! Well, I actually bought this pack just because I did not fancy dragging my suitcase all over Europe. Instead I carried all my belonging for about 10 days and 9 nights on my back with the greatest of ease. This pack is in general, very comfortable except that my shoulders hurt a bit – well, maybe it is because I have a long history of dislocating my shoulders no thanks to playing football in high school. This pack really hugs my body well and I really felt quite balanced with all the weight that I was carrying – trust me, it was a lot of weight.

The outside pockets of this internal frame backpack were pretty useful in helping me retract some of my personal valuables and my energy drinks. Although what I really love about the High Sierra Trail 90 frame pack is how easy it was for me to quickly get to the main compartment – if you have owned a lot of bags like I have, you would really appreciate this feature. The zipper in the front sure lets you quickly grab anything from the bottom of the pack if you really need to. This pack is also conveniently divided so that you can easily manage your space. It also rained in the part of Europe that I visited; I used the pack’s rain cover to keep all my belongings dry. Unless you plan on carrying a suit on your trip, this pack is A OK!

Teton Sports Explorer 4000 Internal Frame Backpack

To be honest with you, the reason why I chose to buy this internal frame back was only (only!) because I read in  some review that it had a separate compartment where I can put my sleeping bag without going to the very annoying process of totally emptying my backpack just because I want take out my sleeping bag. I am quite short and I thought that this bag wouldn’t work for me, but it really did – that is, after I adjusted it. My cousin got this bag and he quite tall and works perfectly for him.

Now the price, for a great pack like the Teton Sports Explorer 4000 Internal Frame Backpack, it is ridiculously affordable, I got it for $74.99! I used this pack on a trip to I place that I have mentally blocked out! It just so happened that I packed a lot of stuff which of course made my trip a real horrible experience, but the good news is that my shoulders and back was pretty comfortable with this internal frame backpack.

The waist strap sure helped me whole lot, and the rain fly kept my stuff nice and dry during one very wet trip. With the rough trip I had, the zipper, clip-to-gether things and fabric of this backpack sure held up. I strongly recommend the Teton Sports Explorer 4000 Internal Frame Backpack to anyone who wants a tough backpack that proves to be money well spent!
