Paragon 58L Backpack

I really do like all the space and pockets but the fit is just a little awkward at some times but still one of my top packs.

Paragon for quick movements

The pack is sturdy and well built. It functions well when there is minimal load but the chest strap has a tendency to ride up when the load is more than 30lbs.

Perfect for me

I bought this pack before I became a member of Expert Voice and I thought I got a good deal on it before seeing the price here! I did a ridiculous amount of research on packs for my upcoming Appalachian Trail thru-hike, ultimately settling on this one. Since it’s the dead of winter, I haven’t taken it out for a shakeout hike yet, but I’ve put all of my gear, including a bear canister, in it and everything fits easily. The pack is too heavy to be considered an ultralight, but it feels incredibly stable and secure for its light weight. I’ve worn it to go up and down the stairs from the basement to the second floor for about twenty minutes of work and it is perfectly comfortable. Can’t wait to try it out on the trail this spring!

Great High Volume Bag

Bought this after trying on most packs in this volume range from Gregory, Osprey, and Deuter. I use a frameless UL pack for summer backpacking in the Appalachians, and got the Paragon 58 to replace my winter pack. Used it several times now with 25-35 lb loadouts and I love it! It swallows a ton of bulky gear and the frame and suspension system keep it comfy. Looking forward to many more miles.

Great pack

Lightweight, good capacity, comfortable support system. Will meet most light backpacking needs.

Stands the test of time

I've had a Paragon 58 for a couple of years now, and after regular use I can confidently recommend this pack. It's laid out intuitively with lots of helpful straps and loops to fix things to the outside of it, it's comfortable for longer hikes, and it hasn't needed any repairs or fixes after regular year-round use.

It was able to carry the load and then some. Well made. It was recommended to me from an avid hiker and outdoorsmans. The pocket for reaching my water bottle without dismount was a plus. A great buy.

Adjusts in so many ways to make it the most accommodating pack I own.

Great backpacking pack

Excellent features, used on an overnight so far, with minimal base weight but was easy to pack and comfortable even over rougher steeper terrain. The support was excellent and the side load with helpful to get to things. Probably solid for anyone who wants a very solid pack at a reasonable price, a good pack for anyone. Look at your base weight when picking a pack!

Great starter pack

Hiked a two day trip with this pack. Only complaint was the noise, seemed to go away after the pack was repacked correctly. Cant beat this pack for the price.
