Papa Bear needs a big pack to carry all his XL-sized gear for a week, so he needs the Jansport Big Bear 82 Backpack. Whether he's a grizzy or a black bear, the pack will fit thanks to an adjustable harness that slides between 19 and 22 inches. And since even bears need a little TLC, Jansport made the pack with comfortable ergonomic S-shaped straps.

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: A big bear of a pack.

This pack isn't super burly. It's meant for casual backpackers who go out in mild weather and treat their gear nicely. My buddy had a smaller version that we used for backpacking around Europe. It worked great for that too, although some of the seams started busting apart by the end of our two-month trip. If you use and abuse your gear, take it into harsh conditions, AND expect it to last for years - I'd invest in something burlier.
