Scout 3400 Backpack

This nifty little pack may not be for ultra-light trekkers but for my kind of hiking it is awesome. Holds everything I need, has great sturdy side pockets that I can easily reach without having to release a single strap. The padding on shoulder and hips is great so far. I've logged about 40 miles on it so far and not a single problem. Lots of storage makes a great addition to my gear. I definitely recommend this pack.

The customer service was outstanding. The delivery was prompt and on time.

I carried most the weight due to it was me and my wife and I am telling you it might take some wearing and adjustments but once you get it set right for your size, it made it feel like it really wasn't there. Also the use of space for pockets was awsome, already looking at getting a smaller daypack from here now.

Very nice

I will probably need more available characters to express how incredible my Explorer 75 is. I can start by saying I am from a long military career and so I have some experience with lugging large loads on my back for hours and many miles. I can say that I have had a few commercial packs before and I am excited to say that I can stop looking for that pack that measures up to military rucksacks. Tons of main compartment space. Plenty, but not to many, side compartments for organization. Adjustable straps provide plenty of cushion and adjustable waist straps share the load nicely on the body. I can not say enough about Teton's foresight to make a separate compartment for a sleeping bag or possibly even boots. I would say, without paying a ridiculous amount of money, this pack really makes you feel like you got more than your money's worth.

This camping backpack is super useful and it helps me carry all my stuff and the distribution of space makes it lighter

Purchased the scout, I'm a smaller frame guy, and the Scout 3400 is awesome, it's adjustable for a shorter torso. For the money, excellent purchase!!

This backpack can handle it all, seriously!!

My first backpacking backpack, was the Scout 3400. I purchased it for my job with the Forest Service as a Trails and Wilderness technician. (Basically I hiked everyday, building new trail, repairing old trail, and cutting down hazard trees.)

My first Scout 3400 lasted 3 years of trail work, and went thousands of miles. Daily, it carried roughly 25-40 lbs of gear and safety equipment. On overnight trail working trips, it would handle upwards of 50 or more lbs with ease. It got scrapped up on trees, the chainsaw would snag on it while being carried, and it handled every season and weather imaginable. By the end, it looked pretty ragged, but it still worked like a charm.

Ironically, my last day with the Forest service was the day that one of the straps finally snapped. This pack truly handled it all during those three years. It went to countless peaks, and seen lots of land. I just got my second 3400 pack, and am stoked on the adventures I'm gonna take it on.

I've had this pack for a few years. Very happy with how much wear and tear it can withstand. It has been through a weekend of constant rain & the rain cover was great! Love the easy access zippers on the top and bottom for items you need to grab quickly. I have a smaller frame and the customization makes this pack comfortable and easy to use. Definitely recommend.

This has been by far my favorite pack to date. I've taken it on many hikes from Texas to Montana, and it has held up in all weather conditions. It is comfortable and very user friendly to adjust. Not to mention the space and well thought out design of every compartment. I will definitely expand my gear with Teton for any future needs I may have.
