JanSport Carson Backpack 4900cu in
Whether you’ve been backpacking for decades and prefer the heavy-load capability of an external-frame pack or you’re a novice looking for a sturdy pack that won’t bust your budget, the JanSport Carson Backpack delivers. JanSport loaded the Carson with useful features from internal-frame packs yet retained the easy-to-pack, easy-to-adjust design of the external style.
- Easily adjustable hip-belt slides up and down to fit 16- to 21-inch torso lengths
- Extendable lid has a zippered pocket ideal for toiletries, headlamp, other small items
- Hydration sleeve and port (bladder not included) makes drinking on the trail a cinch
- Front compression straps stabilize your load
- Padded, mesh hip-belt stays dry and comfortable
Bottom Line: The Carson is light-years beyond the external frame backpack in your grandpa’s basement.
