More importantly, Teton's customer service also deserves 5 stars and reading customer reviews about their customer service was the main reason I chose to purchase a Teton pack. Here's my experience with them.
This was my first adjustable pack and my GF misunderstood what I was asking her to do when measuring my torso and we got it wrong the first time. I ordered the Scout 3400 which turned out to be too small so I had to return it. No problem there. That's when I ordered the Explorer and the first one I received was what I would call a factory second. It was obvious that bag was overlooked by QC. It had threads hanging off of it all over the place, one strap was sewn on backwards, the zipper in the lid wouldn't zip completely closed and would work it's way open about 3 inches just from walking around with the pack on and one of the shoulder straps was frayed badly. I contacted Teton again about this pack, provided some photos and they sent a replacement the very next day, no questions asked. On top of all that, I mentioned in the email to Teton that the chest strap is pretty tight and they offered to make me a custom extension for the strap.
As far as I'm concerned, this is a company that knows how to take care of their customers and stand behind their products 100%. They've earned my loyalty and respect and I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend them to anyone I know personally. This is one company that you can truly buy from with confidence that they will be there for you when you need them to be. Awesome!

I probably pack up to 70-80lbs, never been an issue for me. Comfortable, but could use some more air circulation for my back.
This is also the exact same backpack that Steve Wallis from YouTube uses for his stealth camping adventures.
It seems like this one is a newer model. It claims to have solved the common complaint that the water bottle pockets are hard to access by making them angled. It has not. And they are not. All other changes are actually for the worse.
The lid is now removable. But if you remove it there is nothing but a drawstring to keep your gear safe and secure. And, lid on or off, it leaves two very long straps hanging between your back and the pack. Speaking of the lid, it is now smaller with a shorter zip. That means a couple of items I like to keep in it for easy access no longer fit.
The padding on the back, hipbelt and straps seems thinner and less durable. The buckles also feel less robust. And the water bottle pockets and the pocket on the front went from a standard mesh to what feels like womens stockings.
The torso length adjustment feels wonky and is not straight or centered. And it didn't come with the straps to secure something to the lid. But I don't know if these last two are across the board or I just got a bad one.
Teton backpacks are overhyped. A few youtubers sang their praises back when you could pick one up for under $70USD. At the time of wrting this review it is over £130. That's over double the $70 those youtubers paid. What's more, I just bought a 65 liter Osprey Rook for £130. Let that sink in. This piece of crap is the same price as an Osprey! And they let me pay for the Osprey in 5 monthly instalments of £26. And unless the Osprey is delivered literally burnt to ashes I will be returning the Teton and I will never buy another Teton Sports product as long as I live.
