8. Cost/Value

Osprey Ariel 75  9.5/10

Internal frame
72-78 liters
4,400-4,800 cubic inches
4 pockets + main compartment

“300 days in the field and still looks like new. It’s indestructible.” – Actual quote from an actual outdoor therapeutic counselor. That about sums it up.

Prices


Arc’teryx Altra 62  9/10

Internal Frame
62-65 liters
3,783-3,967 cubic inches
7 pockets + main compartment

The priciest one on the list, but it’s loaded with features and extremely comfortable. A unique pivoting hipbelt has reviewers buzzing. Be cognizant of the sometimes-leaky zippers, though, and be sure to take a waterproof pack cover.

Prices


The North Face Crestone 60  9/10

Internal Frame
55-65 liters
3,950-3,350 cubic inches
5 pockets + main compartment

The North Face Crestone 60 will probably be one of your best friends on the trail. A 60 liter capacity is ideal for multiple night trips. Features included on the bag ensure a perfect fit which means you’ll be a happy hiker out on the trails.

Prices


Gregory Deva 70  8.5/10

Internal frame
68-73 liters
4,150-4,455 cubic inches
8 pockets + main compartment
Fits waist 22-34 inches

Gregory’s patented Response AFS suspension system joins forces with a pre-curved hipbelt that works to eliminate hot spots and chafing around the waist. It also has a thermomolded back rest and three access points, making quick retrieval of gear a snap. It’s a little on the weighty side, but there’s nothing we could find wrong with this pack.

Prices


REI XT 75   8/10

Internal Frame
75 liters
8 pockets + main compartment
Fits waists 31-40 inches

A good basic entry-level pack, the good folks over at REI built this one with women-specific shoulder straps and hipbelt as well as a shortened torso. It’s got enough capacity for a week-long outing but is light enough for just an overnight.

Prices



Lowe Alpine Nanon ND   8/10

Super lightweight
Internal frame
60 liters
3700 cubic inches

This super-lightweight model is a little on the small side, but it’s got woman-specific padding on the back and shoulder straps and carries like a feather.

Prices


Kelty Coyote 75   7.5/10

Internal frame
74 liters
4,500 cubic inches
8 pockets + main compartment
Fits waist 28-50 inches

It has the capacity to carry a huge load, but the waistbelt is disproportionately large and causes all the weight to hang from the shoulders if you can’t figure out a way to artificially expand your hips. Overall, its a comfortable pack and a perfect alternative to many of those large capacity backpacks.

Prices


Black Diamond Astral 40  7.5/10

38-40 liters
2319-2440 cubic inches
Fits waist size 30-39 inches

The Black Diamond Astral backpack comes in as one of the smaller bags on the list. At 40 liters this bag is perfect for solo-overnights or multi-day hikes when accompanied by others. The pack will perform best when loaded with 20 to 30 pounds, so that limits this backpack a little.

Prices


REI Crestrail 65  7/10

Internal frame
60-65 liters
3,661-3,966 cubic inches
7 pockets + main compartment
Fits waist size 26-34 inches

The second offering from REI on the list, it’s a solid pack that just lacks some of the cachet of the bigger names. It features a slim width and shortened height along with accoutrements like dual ice axe loops and bottle locking side pockets. Unfortunately, it’s not as well-designed as the others on this list, with access problems stemming from small apertures and balky zippers.
