Carry all you need for a full day of backcountry adventure in the Camp USA H5 Backpack. Thanks to the H5’s aluminum alloy frame stays that minimize load shifting, ventilation mesh at all contact points, and generous padding, you’ll carry more with less fatigue. Loaded with pockets to stash all your essentials, the H5 is just itching to hit the trail.

  • Side interior pocket accommodates your hydration bladder
  • Removable hip-belt is padded and contoured for comfort, and lined with mesh for better ventilation
  • Stretch compartment in front hold gives you easy access to your helmet or extra layer
  • Lid adjusts up to four inches for expanded capacity when you’re carry a fully load
  • Compartmentalized interior helps you organize your gear and distribute your load evenly
  • Rain tarp is included for stormy treks

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Decent backpack but not for mountaineering

By:
April 12, 2011

Pros:
* Good, general purpose pack
* Adjustable back
* Plenty of pockets, including three substantial outside pockets
* Plenty of straps
* Removable hip belt

Cons:
* The pack itself is not waterproof. The provided rain cover could take care of stormy weather but it is not practical for snow climbs.
* The mesh padding on the back is way too soft. If you carry a loaded pack the padding will flatten out substantially, sealing off the ventilation channels. (Compare with Gregory or Lowe packs.)
* I have not found the advertised "helmet compartment". The large front pocket does not expand out enough to be it. With some effort I have managed to squeeze a climbing helmet into it but the pocket expanded inward into the pack as much as outward so if the pack was full the pocket would be too small.
* Feeble spiral zipper on the sleeping bag compartment.
* Removable lid does not have a built-in waist belt.
* Just one ice axe loop.

P.S. The blue color is much lighter than the web image suggests.
