The REI Passage 40 pack perfectly suits young kids ages 6 - 11 as they learn to love backpacking. It uses the same quality materials and design as adult packs for great comfort and performance.
Adjustable harness fits 12 - 15 in. torsos and lets the pack grow with your child; highly visible torso adjustment increment markers make it quick and easy to dial in the fit
Contoured, padded shoulder straps, hipbelt and molded foam back panel with breathable mesh provide carrying comfort and great ventilation
Dual aluminum stays stabilize the load and shift pack weight to the hips
Precurved hipbelt comfortably waps around the hips and can be extended to provide an additional 2 in. of circumference as your child grows
Hipbelt webbing tightens with an ergonomic forward pull for easy adjustment
Adjustable sternum strap features a safety whistle built into the buckle
Organize gear in the top-loading main compartment, sleeping bag compartment, front mesh stuff pocket and 2 pockets in the top lid
Floating top lid extends to accommodate large loads
Pack bottom features sleeping pad straps with quick-release buckles
Water-repellent zippers help keep contents dry and eliminate the need for fabric zipper flaps
2 zippered mesh pockets on the hipbelt keep snacks and other small essentials close at hand
