REI Traverse 70 Pack
Today, I will be reviewing the REI Traverse 70 Pack. This backpack is one of my favorite from REI and I have had plenty of experiences with the product. I felt like a good review would do this product justice for how well it has served me, my family, and friends who enjoy backpacking.

When my father and I were preparing to backpack the Grand Canyon, we were prepared. We had our our food, supplies, and tools all packed to successfully hike in the Grand Canyon National Park. The sun had set and we were preparing to go to sleep for night. My dad decided he needed to try his ten year old backpack on just one last time before calling it a night.
That is when disaster struck. Both the straps ripped in half and the backpack came crashing to the ground. We were speechless. We flew all the way to Phoenix, rented a car, and drove up to the Grand Canyon National Park for this? That's when we remembered the camp store in the park was still open, but about to close. We ran over there, hoping they even sold backpacking backpacks. Thankfully, they did! That is when we purchased the REI Traverse 70 Pack.
At first, my dad was frustrated with the backpack. He had no idea how to use the design, and neither did I. After some tinkering though, we figured out how to fit all the equipment inside. That is when we realized the true brilliance of the REI Traverse 70 Pack. The backpack was designed to carry weight evenly and it made carrying heavy equipment much easier. It was also extremely comfortable!
I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well. nike backpacks
