JanSport created the Big Bear 78 Backpack for longer treks into the backcountry. Carrying your gear for a week is not a problem thanks to the ergonomic S-curve shoulder straps and a harness that adjusts from 16 to 19 inches for maximum comfort, mile after mile.

  • Compression hood on top of pack cinches down your load
  • Large front panel sleeve gives you easy access to key items
  • Hydration sleeve, exit port, and tube management clips on straps ensure you stay hydrated on the trail
  • Mesh wet/dry pocket segregates soggy socks or swim suits from dry clothing
  • Side compression straps keep pack close to the body when not fully loaded
  • Exterior access to sleeping bag adds convenience and
  • Ice axe and haul loops let you store technical gear for more advanced routes

Bottom Line: Big comfort in the Big Bear.

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

HORRIBLE PACK

By:

This pack is very heavy and the hip belt doesn't work. after an hour of hiking my shoulders were in a huge amount of pain. Save your shoulders buy an Osprey.
