JanSport Salish Backpack - 2100cu in
Available Colors / Styles
Get set for your summer weekend overnight with the Jansport Salish backpack. Light and compact, the Salish won\222t weigh you down on the trail, but it is loaded with features that make your trip as enjoyable as possible. Jansport\222s Versa-wing system converts a large mesh compartment into two small gear pockets with a quick clip, so you can keep your gear organized and readily accessible.
- Lightweight foam Biovent straps conform to your body and include angled vent holes to provide maximum ventilation
- Quick-access hydration compartment and a tube management system built into the straps help you get your liquids on the trail
- Two front vertical gear pockets and hip-belt pockets help you separate out your gear
- Dual side compression straps stabilize your load
- Bottom lashing webbing and dual loops let you attach more gear to the pack’s exterior
Bottom Line: Big enough to carry all your own gear\227but darn, someone else is going to have to haul the four-person tent.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
Almost Awesome!

This pack is great for day trips. I used it all summer in the Tetons for quick trips up and down. It has enough room for a rope and minimal gear. The outside stash pockets are great for crampons, but I had to be careful not to rip the pack with my spikes. The gear loops are little small for an axe, but I made it work. The side pockets are a little shallow for water bottles. My favorite part of the pack is that it incredibly light-weight and breathable. The waste belt is awesome. The photo below is of Eric Seymour using the pack to climb the Middle Teton.
Better than you might think!

I have always associated Jansport with elementary school backpacks. Not anymore. I have been testing Jansport packs all summer and have been pleasantly surprised. All of the backcountry packs are incredibly light weight. The built in mesh keeps your back cool will hiking. The built in hydration system is awesome. The only draw back is if you like to use water bottles, the side pockets aren't very deep and your bottles end up falling out.

I got this in the Retro Orange/ Red Brown color when it was on MEGA sale and couldn't be happier.
The Biovent shoulder straps and waist belt are insanely comfortable. The mesh back panel is comfy enough, but it only has a thin removable sheet for structure so I wouldn't want to hike all day with it loaded up with my climbing gear. On the plus side, it can actually hold all my gear for a day or so of sport climbing with various options for packing. I love the two large Zip pockets on the back and the clip slots for biners are a nice durable nylon material. Top has two zip pockets to help keep the small stuff organized as well.
The Versa Wing side/waist belt pockets are an interesting idea. You can hold smaller stuff with ease and have it accessible in a flash. You can even stash a climbing shoe in each side or a water bottle if you 'biner it to the compressions strap to keep it locked in place.
The inside of the pack is pretty deep, but the cinch cord is sewn into the back panel so sometimes it's trickier to close the top. You have to pull one sides slack out and then the others. And the bladder pocket is in a separate zipper/clip pocket in between the back panel and the interior so you won't need to open your pack to refill your water!
Go Jansport, solid pack!
Change me.
