Side zippered pockets, mesh pockets, and a top zippered pocket provide plenty of room for smaller accessories. There's even two spots for walking sticks.

 Tall Guy 6'5" Good Backpack! March 1, 2010
Christopher Hizzle (Salt Lake City, UT)
This Backpack is awesome! This is the first internal frame pack I've purchased, and it's freaking sweet. Reading the reviews I decided on this one due to some reviews saying it worked for tall people. Short people can use this too!, the shoulder straps are adjustable - I never thought a backpack could do that, but the whole shoulder strap contraption actually shifts up and down, giving a great fit for anyone 6'5" (like myslef, and 220lbs) to shorter, I'm guessing kids could fit super comfortable with it. But I'm not just talking about straps leading from bottom of backpack to the pit area, thoes adjust too, but the whole thing does, never seen anything like it.
The only thing bad about it I can think of is the sleeping bag compartment is too small, I just unzipped the seperater thing making it one large bag. Which I kinda like cause it forces me to get a smaller (and more lightweight) bag for the hiking and snowshoeing. Oh, and the inside compartment barley fit my huge, 35" snowshoes.
This is freaking sweet, for the price, freaking sweet. I used it on one miserable snowshoeing trip so far, and it held up great. I packed too much stuff making the snowshoeing trip horrible(first time ever snowshoeing, learned my lesson), but my back and shoulders were comfortable with this bag - The waist strap helps a ton, and with big plastic clip-to-gether things it was super easy to do up and undo with gloves on. Time will tell on the zippers, and fabric, and plastic clip-to-gether things hold up, but from the first abusive trip, and from just looking at it, I'm sure it will. I would for sure buy again!
Hope this helps the tall people on their purchase, we need to look out for each other!
Flexible pack February 13, 2010
Halvard Nystrom (Sunnyvale, CA USA)
The pack is just as advertised, well made and receipt was timely and trouble-free. It has lots of pockets and good strong zippers. I love that the separator between the two main compartments is also zippered so that I can use it to carry larger things, like my baritone horn! Comfortable and adjustable. Not bad for a great price!

Viene muy bien empacado ocupa poco espacio para aquellos que traen el bolso por currier, el bolso posee suficientes compartimentos y correas para cargar accesorios, ajuste en la espalda.
A good deal when it's on sale November 24, 2009
D. Lucas (Portland, OR)
The material is tough enough, the rain cover is useful when it's raining, and most of the pockets are large enough to hold things you need to get at in a hurry. However, the "sleeping bag" compartment at the bottom of the pack is only large enough to hold a child's sized sleep bag. Even with a decent compression sack I was not able to stuff my sleeping bag in there. Luckily, the thing comes with plenty of external straps, but in future versions of this bag, Teton would be wise to make that sleep bag compartment just a bit bigger.
Overall, a good value if you can get it below $60.
Great pack for the price! November 23, 2009
David A. Lewis (Fairfax, VA)
Ordered this at the last minute to help support a Boy Scout backpacking trip. Got it on Friday and was hiking on Saturday. This pack has sufficient places and straps to carry a lot of items. My down sleeping bag would not fit in the 'designated' place so I just stuffed it into the main compartment. Easy to fill up the bag and to strap things on to it. The rain cover came in handy as it did rain for 45 minutes or so. Don't think I had all of the adjustments quite right, but the pack seemed to fit well and ride on my hips. Plenty of places to hang a water bottle or two. For the money spent (can't match this in a local store) this has been a good addition to the camp gear.
