ALPS Mountaineering Denali Backpack - 5500 cu in
Ok but not the best.
By spe5460362 July 14, 2012
The pack is ok. I've used it for a few short trips, not very high mileage. It took some time to get the pack to be comfortable to go hiking. When loaded with 35 lbs the shoulder pads felt much too narrow to distribute the weight comfortably on my shoulders. I played with the load adjusting straps while walking and got to where it was less annoying. Not a bad pack for the money though. Seems durable enough and for the price it's worth it. I'll keep using it for a while and make note of the improvements I would like for my next backpack.
