MOUNTAINTOP 55L/65L Internal Frame Backpack Hiking Backpack with Rain Cover

I ordered 3 different 65L backpacks by 3 different well known manufacturers to compare features. All 3 had good features, but the mountaintop had the most accessible pockets, including hip pockets; and good hardware such as YKK zippers and clasps. The mountaintop was also very light and easy to see inside and the material was durable but comfortable (not scratchy and tough). The mountaintop was also the least expensive. Overall i found the Mountaintop to be the best overall value for the price. I have ordered another Mountaintop for my husband and we are recommending this to our traveling companions.

Went backpacking for a month in Europe and this bag did phenomenal. Comfortable,durable and spacious. I’ll be using it as a hiking/camping bag soon as well. One dislike if I’m being picky is that sometimes it squeaks up top. Not sure if that is user error or not though.

I was hesitant to purchase this, but based on the other reviews I decided to give it a try. It is made with very high quality material! It is super sturdy as well. Lots of pocket spaces and weight distribution is amazing! I might go back and purchase one of their bigger or smaller ones as well.

This product ripped apart in Nicaragua. A royal pain to have to carry all my luggage with a ripped bag :(

I am a very small girl. 5'2 about 100 pounds and this was an amazing bag. I used it for over a month and backpacked Europe. Worth it!

I got this backpack because I was going on my first backpacking trip and I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on something I didn’t know if I would like or not. This pack carried 3 gallons (there was no water where we went) of water along with everything I needed for the weekend. It was extremely heavy (do to all the water) but my pack and I made it with no problems. After a few adjustments I was comfortable. While I wanted a more purple-ish color the purple grayish color it comes it prevents it from looking too dirty. I will be using this pack until it dies.

I haven't taken this out on an actual backpacking trip; that's at the end of this month and I'll update then. But at first glance, this backpack is amazing. I have Osprey, Mountainsmith, and Camelbak backpacks now - various sizes. This Mountaintop feels the best of all. My plan is to use this backpack for the first few multiday trips and upgrade when I need to. I honestly hope that's never because this one feels so comfortable. Update (and photos) to come ...

I bought this pack to travel through Thailand. I could have opted for a smaller bag. However, it was still easy to grab and go. The way I packed required me to check the bag at airports, but a lighter traveler could probably take it as a carry-on.
