Outdoor Products Gama Backpack

I purchased this pack about a year ago, and have used it on too many day trips to count. It wears well, and seems to have a great deal of adjustability. I 6'5" tall, and weight 250+ and the pack fits me well! I use it to do my 5 mile training loop 3 times per week, as well as longer hikes on the weekends, and pack it full, so it's heavier....and it has done very well! I would buy another one! The only ding I can give it is that the closure system on the top is 5 straps, and requires a certain order to operate properly. It seems overkill, but it keeps the top flap very tight against the pack, and gives the top of the pack a lower profile. The lid seems to be another place to keep gear, since the straps are much longer than needed for a full pack....as if you could put another jacket, or something under it, and strap it to the top of the pack. I have never used this option, but it seems likely that it was designed for this. The hip straps support the weight of the pack well, while allowing free movement!...Great pack for the money!!

I purchased this pack to use on my vacation in Hawaii. I used it as my second carry on holding all the vital tools for long air travel, food, water, candy bars, lap top, a few days of clothes in case the airlines lost my luggage. no problem. I used it several times around the island on day trips. It really came in handy on the trip back. I packed it full of stuff. I actually thinked it weighed more than my checked bags. This was the only day pack I found that came with a waist strap. I have a bad back and need the extra support. I do agree with the previous bad points too many snaps / buckles but I would purchase again next time for the wife.

I bought this pack a month ago and immediately filled it with all of my gear for the great outdoors. It is comfortable and has many pockets. I like all of the D-rings available to load added gear to the outside of the pack. I bought a hydration pack from a different maker and it fits perfectly! My Katadyn water filter is an exact fit for the pocket on the side of the pack. My trekking poles fit perfectly behind/underneath the other outside pocket and are assured a tight fit due to the straps across the top of the pack. The top-flap of the pack has a zipper pocket that is large and holds sunglasses, cell phone or other gear one might need quickly. I bought a waterproof pack cover and it fits nicely inside of this top-flap pocket with a headlamp and battery-powered multi-function light stick. The best part of this pack are the thickly padded shoulder and waist straps. The waist strap is padded and has plenty of extra length for larger waists. ...Did I just admit to this?! The inside storage area is large and holds plenty of gear, even when the 2L water bladder is full. The only reason this pack only gets 4 stars is due to the fact that I would prefer (not very objective) to have larger teeth on the zippers. All of the zippers have worked just fine and I expect to get a lot of great use out of this new pack! Great job, Outoor Products! The pack was well worth the very fair price!!!

Picked this up at the ol' wally world, and I'm glad I did. It is a little small but that's why I bought it. I have a much larger kelty pack that I use for longer expeditions. Like other people, I agree that there is too many straps on the top, but that's the only thing that I have found wrong with it. It does have kind of an odd shape to it, kinda wide but not very tall or fat, this isn't a problem just something to notice. I've taken it on many small overnight hikes. It says its a "3 day" pack but that's going to happen. I pack similar to the nutnfancy(If you don't know who this is he packs with lots of extra items that most would find overkill for a hike and is prepared for just about anything on the trail). At the most I would say this could handle a 2 night, if you pack very light and you have access to a water. I can fit a small 2 person tent, a moderately sized sleeping bag and all food and water, as well as some other necessities (i.e. first aid, cooking things, ect). If the top of the pack was a little more simple then it would have gotten five stars but its still a very good pack. I'm excited to take it overseas later this month. I shall update if I find any problems with it, but I don't expect to.

UPDATE: I will be leaving to central america next week and I've started packing, one thing that I've also noticed is that you can tuck the hip belt into the lumbar pad at the bottom of the back. This makes it very helpful for a carry on bag and fitting it in the overhead bins on the plane.

this bag is a great size for a backpack that is needed for both hiking and cycling. it has alot of compression straps, plenty of room for stuff. however, the chest strap and waist strap both rely on small, breakable pieces of plastic. I wound up having to reinforce the chest strap myself with zipties and i had to completely replace the buckle on the waist strap. its a good backpack with great features that ultimately was sabatoged by cheap pieces of plastic (metal or something more robust could have been used instead). that all being said, i am currently using and enjoying this bag, but i had to take off two stars because of the poorly made buckle and chest piece.
