Not light. Not ultralight but I don't think this advertises that either.

But……..

A 65 liter back is supposed to be able to carry a bunch of things And that equals weight. But the few reviews on this when under weight seem to indicate poor craftsmanship with straps and various items ripping off. This may be expected for a 65L bag at this price point.

Take it for what it is. Don't over stuff it and it may be a good back for a first time backpacker Just understand what you get with $30 pack.

The reviews are actually overall really good. Only 2 people gave it 1 star while 34 gave it 5 stars. This same pack actually did make front page on slickdeals when it was priced at $41 earlier this year.

There's a reason that the packs that multi-day backpackers and thru-hikers use start at $200 and can easily get up to $400. Comfortable, durable, and light packs cost a lot of money, end of story. If you're buying a $30 65L pack to chuck stuff in on the occasional hike it'll be serviceable for a few of those hikes without a doubt. But anyone thinking that they can pay 1/10th the price of what the real serious folks use and get the same quality product is just mistaken. Just know what you're buying here and temper your expectations.

A lot of it is brand name though. You pay a premium to have it say "Kelty" on front

That and just plain old profit. How much stuff costs is a lot more loosely correlated with its quality than people around here like to believe, which has always been odd to me for a deal site. Most of the things I own are from nameless inexpensive brands and 9 times out of 10 they perform totally fine and I'm not funding some bloated corporation's marketing department.

Reviews look great, in for one of these.

Plus the majority comes from the CCP brand or generic.

Sure some of it might be, but brand name also frequently means that you have a shot at actually having a warranty claim heard and taken care of as well. If you watch any review videos or read any review articles about cheap packs they will always say the same thing which is that best case scenario you get a relatively well designed/thought out bag with mediocre build quality, or worst case scenario you get a poorly designed bag with terrible build quality. You never find anyone who actually uses these types of packs seriously recommending a $40 bag for anything other than very casual use because they always inevitably end up ripping at the straps, popping a seam open, zippers busting apart, etc. once you actually put them through the paces.

A good deal on a quality pack would be something like a $250 bag with good reviews on clearance for $100-150. But if these $40 packs were actually worth their salt then people would actually use them and recommend them, but they don't and that's for a good reason.

I have a smaller slumberjack I won in a raffle. It's my hunting pack for short trips from truck to stand and back, one of the main zippers broke almost right away.

I'd say it may be serviceable but I'd be concerned about quality when it really matters if your heading out on overnights. For the price you could always give it a shot and use it for lighter duty if you find it uncomfortable or lower quality.

This is totally fine to test out backpacking a couple of times. No need to spend $200+ if you're testing the waters. Then if you find you want to do more, then you spend money for the better gear.

Nobody is coming here for this deal expecting that. Do you go into the fender squire deals and remind them it's not going to play like a fender telecaster too?

I have this pack and it holds up really well. I bought it because I wasn't able to invest in a really expensive bag. Pretty comfortable and adjustable as well. I bought at 50 bucks
