Camp Trails Torrid 2 Review

"the absolute best pack I ever bought. 5,200 cubic inches/40 inches tall/4 gear pockets/removable day pack/sleeping bag compartment & all the standard stuff.BOUGHT from CAMPMOR for $79.97!!A real bargin.GOOD PRICE!GOOD QUALITY"

"Pros: Strong, comfortable, reasonably priced, good features.

Cons: Awkward top lid, overly complicated.

It lists for $150, but it's easy to find for under $100 (Campmor $79.99). At that price it's a great bargain. Not suitable for very large hikers, but otherwise a good fit and very adjustable. It's very comfortable and holds more than I'd want to carry, especially when fully expanded. The weight rides fully on the hips when properly adjusted.

The bag has a lot of outside pockets and compartments, which is nice for organization--it also has many (too many?) lash points. Two water bottles holders along the belt are nice, but difficult to reach without taking off the bag.

The top lid detaches as a fanny/day pack, but it's pretty worthless, and I leave it behind. Also, the attachment buckles and straps make for an overly complicated bag. I wouldn't want to send this bag through airport luggage, for example.

But it's still the best internal pack I've seen for under a hundred bucks."

"I originally bought this pack for use as a large daypack, but it is certainly large enough for multi-day use as well. The pack has a lot of straps and buckles, which may be intimidating, but also provide for fine adjustment. It is by far the most comfortable pack I've ever worn, but it requires a certain minimum load to keep everything stable."
