Won’t hold my -15 bag in the sleeping bag area. Hence the docking of two stars.
Bought this for a 2 night trip with my LO and dog, in bear country, where nights will hit freezing, to replace my ancient Kelty pack. Both will have their own packs but dog is small(can’t carry much) and kid is young (can’t carry much). In warmer weather, without bears (and bear can) this bag might work. Was hoping to use this this trip and in the future longer trips when I don’t have to carry everything myself. Buying a bigger pack. Really like that it’s so adjustable though.
Note that I am a proponent of ultralight but with a small kid I really do have to bring a change of clothes and extra shoes for her and us being two females I also need to bring additional supplies a guy might not need. Ha! Wondering how my dad did this when I was little!!
UPDATE: So, I tried ordering the 4300 as a replacement and it was terribly uncomfortable even when empty. Turns out, this 3700 has so many straps, is very versatile, and is so well built that I was able to put my kid's sleeping bag in the bottom (unzipped the internal compartment separator) along with some clothes, strapped my sleeping bag to the top of the pack using a single strap, strapped a sleeping pad to the bottom, and clipped a second sleeping pad to a strap, and used the side cinchers for my ground cloth and to clip water bottles, and got it all to fit. (bear can and tent went vertical into the pack, pot/stove on top of the bear can, clothes and smaller items wherever I could fit them) I LOVE this thing. It was so very comfortable, even though I was carrying almost everything for two people. Also has lots of zipper pockets for different items to stay totally safe (car keys) and accessible (toilet supplies). I also liked that it had a little pocket on the waist strap, to put my Kleenex, hand sanitizer, knife, & flashlight. My only two suggested improvements would be to put a pocket on each waist strap (2 waist pockets, I have a daypack like that and it's helpful) and to make the waist pockets big enough to hold my phone. I was using my phone as my camera and although it's a smaller phone it didn't fit in the waist pocket and I ended up carrying it in the back pocket of my pants so that I could grab it out whenever I wanted. PS - I was concerned about rain one night so I pulled out the built-rain cover, put the pack on a rock (so the water would go around the rock and not into the bottom of the pack) and leaned it against a tree. Although it didn't actually rain, it seemed that the rain cover would have adequately protected the pack.
I used to use a (now ancient) external frame Kelty pack. This new Teton was so great that I carried 47 lbs with no problem it practically felt like a day pack. And, I had to ALSO carry kid part of the way - almost 90 lbs total (and I weigh 123). I am a huge fan of this pack. I can't wait to go backpacking again!!

Decent pack but questionable quality control
This is a totally decent backpack, but make sure to inspect yours right away. Mine came with a few issues.- First, the waist belt range of 28"-51" is completely untrue. As measured, at its LONGEST adjustment, it is no more than 44". Where they got 51", I have no idea. I have adjusted the straps as loose as they will go and it is most definitely only 44", so if your waist is bigger than that you may want to consider something else.- Second, the padding on the adjustable torso has been sewn completely wonky and unevenly. Like, not even close to being even.- Third, there are other unevenly-sewn seams on the front, as well one of the compression straps at the bottom has been sewn on too far to the left.- Finally, the inner draw cord for the main compartment is already frayed and the spring-loaded tension clip is broken on arrival. Now, none of these issues make this pack unusable, but for costing almost $100 (reg. price) I expected better quality.Aside from the above mentioned issues, this pack seems to be halfway decent, especially if you're just getting into backpacking (like me), not wanting/needing an ultralight pack, or you just don't want to pay out the wazoo for something else. I made sure to double check ALL the seams (as other reviewers have mentioned shoulder straps tearing off) and everything seems to be good, and the actual materials used feel plenty robust. Stuffed with all my gear, this pack feels fairly comfortable and it's easily adjustable enough to get the weight on your hips and off your shoulders. There are plenty of pockets and straps for gear storage - the top actually has two zippered pockets (one is accessible from the outside, one from the inside) for storing things you need to get to quickly/easily, and the bottom "sleeping bag" compartment has a zippered divider that allows you to access it from inside the main compartment of the pack if you like. There is one pocket on the waist belt (right side), which is nice, but if it were just a tiny bit bigger, it would be better. It barely fits a bandana, a buff, and my headlamp. Also, would it have blown the profit margin if they had included a second pocket on the left? It would be nice to be able to store all the little things that you would want access to without having to stop and take the pack off, like - sunblock, snacks, electrolyte powders, etc. The one pocket IS nice, but two would be twice as good. I plan on putting this pack through its paces in the Colorado wilderness, so I'll update this review in a couple months with my thoughts.EDIT - 8/30 - After using this pack several times, I have to remove one star and bring it down to 3. This pack is comfortable enough, but the mesh side pockets aren't well‐thought-out. If you carry the typical 1 liter Smart Water bottles, they fit fine, but you'll need to tuck the tops under the side compression straps to keep them in, as the pockets aren't very deep. They are also placed in such a way that you cannot reach back and grab a bottle for a drink. You have to stop and take the pack off, which is a pain in the butt, in my opinion. Sure, you can use a water bladder inside, but that's a pain to fill when on the trail, and also makes it difficult to monitor how much water you're drinking.Between the apparent lack of quality control, the one small belt pouch, and this pocket issue, I wish I had purchased something else. This pack will get retired VERY soon.
