Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Great hiking pack! Tons of space, extremely comfortable, and very practical on the trail. My only problem is that it doesn't seem to have the integrated rain cover. It doesn't say anything about an integrated rain cover on the Amazon listing, but every other listing online for the same model number and model year state that it has an integrated cover that folds out of a zip pouch on the bottom of the pack. Everything else about this pack is phenomenal and I strongly recommend it to all day-hikers. UPDATE: After contacting Camelbak about the missing rain cover, I was informed that the Alpine Explorer spec differs from the US vs International. The US-spec product does not have the rain cover; the international-spec product has the rain cover. I was hoping for an integrated rain cover, but the lack of one isn't a deal-breaker for me. If it weren't for that confusion, however, this would easily be a five star product!
