Youth pack

[mmwb]

My 12 yr weighs about 100 lbs and is a bit of a little ox in terms of strength, but is short so most packs run large for him. He does have a decent youth hiking pack with an internal frame, but it is as noisy as all get out... Any well built youth hunting packs out there that are durable and built for a youngster? I don't, of course, want to put out a huge amount for something he'll outgrow in a season.

That would be great to find. I have a 14 year old and a 12 year old that both need good packs. I also have 3 other smaller boys that can take the packs over when their big brothers out grow them, so the packs need to be durable.

Jeff if you don't stop having kids you could hand those packs down for 30 years.on_target

My boy has one from REI. It adjust from about a 10 year old torso to a 15-16 year old torso. Great little pack. Very durable, well made and quite a range of adjustments.

CNEDEER,
Do you have a model number and make on that pack?

Take a look at this. It has tons of adjustment, and is only 1800 CI.

This may fit the bill for him also, thought it doesn't have an internal frame.
