Mountainsmith Youth Pursuit Backpack Review

Available at Amazon Check Price Now!

As a scoutmaster I see a lot of ill fitting, poorly made packs that look fine at the sporting goods store, but disappoint once out on the trail. I have never seen any youth pack that outdoes this Mountainsmith.

The adjustments are what you'd expect from an expensive adult pack, which provide comfort and make it ride well.

This little pack has many compartments, straps, zippered pouches and extras that adult packs three times the price lack. The many exterior pockets keep the kids organized and prevent them from having to dig through their pack for that flashlight, water bottle, or compass. The sleeping-bag compartment has a draw-string divider as the adult Mountainsmith packs do; a small feature that must be experienced to be appreciated.

This is a pack that will certainly outlast any child's out-door adventures. When it is outgrown, donate it a local scout troop. Some little guy will be happy for the hand-me down!

Mountainsmith Youth Pursuit Backpack Specifications

Offering a well-designed internal frame and plenty of space for gear, the Mountainsmith Youth Pursuit backpack gives kids the opportunity to hit the trail in comfort. The pack offers four load adjusters, adjustable dual-density foam shoulder straps, and a supportive waist belt, helping the pack distribute the weight evenly across your body. As a result, the pack feels as comfortable on the fifth mile as it does on the first. The Youth Pursuit will also keep you well hydrated on the trail, with such features as a hydration sleeve with dual exit ports and a pair of water bottle pockets that accommodate 32-ounce water bottles. And as with the best packs, the Youth Pursuit makes it a breeze to carry your sleeping gear, with sleeping pad compression straps and a distinct sleeping bag compartment.

Other features include four compression straps, a collared storm shield with a drawcord closure, a detachable lid, an air-mesh foam back panel, a safety whistle located on the chest/strap buckle, an elastic sternum strap with a bite valve catch, and a medium rain cover. The Youth Pursuit--which offers 3,137 cubic inches of storage--measures 16 by 28.5 by 12 inches (W x H x D), weighs 3 pounds 9 ounces, and offers a fit range of 13 to 17 inches. All Mountainsmith packs carry a lifetime warranty.
