JanSport Scout Backpack - 3850cu in
Pros and Cons

Ranked #464 - Kids' Gear
February 27, 2009
This was my first pack to use after graduating from camping in the back yard. Pros: good size for a weekend trip; top and bottom compartments keep your food separated from the rest of your gear; plenty of pockets for those who like to be organized; sturdy adjustable frame; smaller frame size for those of us who never quite hit that growth spurt. Cons: separate compartments make it impossible to put the tent inside the bag, leaving it strapped to the outside to possibly get snagged on a branch sometime along the trail; must be balanced perfectly against something to get it to stand upright; so many pockets you might feel inclined to fill them all with extra gear you won't use.
