4.0 out of 5 stars Good pack for the price
Overall the ALPS Mountaineering Denali (5500 Cubic Inch) is a great pack for the money. I went on a four-day hiking trip on the AT with my friend who was carrying a Gregory pack; he was jealous of my pack because of the extra features and the money I saved.

-Pros
. PLENTY of space

1.0 out of 5 stars I usually love ALPS Mountaineering products, but this product is not one I would recommend.
First off, this pack is HUGE and I like the layout a lot. It was surprisingly lightweight for a 90L pack, but I soon discovered why:

It can't support the weight that a 90L pack needs to support. After loading it up with a modest amount of weight (45 lbs), one of the stays immediately bent. I also noticed that some of the seams seemed to be stressed to the...

Overall the ALPS Mountaineering Denali (5500 Cubic Inch) is a great pack for the money. I went on a four-day hiking trip on the AT with my friend who was carrying a Gregory pack; he was jealous of my pack because of the extra features and the money I saved.

-Pros
. PLENTY of space
. Supportive waist belt (note 'Cons')
. Pouch on waist belt is a fantastic feature (camera, cell phone and map can all fit)
. Auto-adjust load lifters feature is a LIFE SAVER
. plenty of 'connectors' to connects items to the outside of the pack (tent, sleeping bag, pots, ect)
. water pouches on both sides of pack are big enough for two plastic water bottles apiece
. can be adjusted in many ways to fit your body
. RAIN COVER - It poured on my trip. I heard the rain coming and quickly put the cover over the pack. It is large enough to fit entirely over the front of the pack with a sleeping pad and tent attached to the front of the pack

-Cons
. not enough padding on the waist belt or shoulder straps
. two front pouch zippers and bottom pouch zipper are difficult to zip
. rain cover does not cover the back of the pack

First off, this pack is HUGE and I like the layout a lot. It was surprisingly lightweight for a 90L pack, but I soon discovered why:

It can't support the weight that a 90L pack needs to support. After loading it up with a modest amount of weight (45 lbs), one of the stays immediately bent. I also noticed that some of the seams seemed to be stressed to the point that I was concerned about long-term durability.

Every other ALPS Mountaineering product I have used has been amazing, especially considering the price but this pack is the exception.

I do not recommend this pack at all.

Well made pack that holds more than enough equipment for my 4 day jaunts. Well balanced and ready for the rain with the attached rain cover. Geat product from an excellent mountaineering company.
