Decent pack but questionable quality control
3 Stars
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.

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!!

So far, this is a great bag for the price. I have had external frame backpacks and it was time to upgrade to a lighter option. I researched online as well as retail and I didn't find anything as sturdy or feature rich as this for the price. A bag like this costs at least double the price at your retail store. As for the bag, the bag is made of ripstop material and is double-stitched for extra strength at the seams (I could haul my 40lb 5-year-old INSIDE the bag without any problem). I sprayed 3 coats of waterproofing over the bag before use just to be cautious, but I haven't encountered rain to test it's performance.

Pros:
-Multiple sections and pouches
-Custom ergonomic support
-Built-in rain fly and chest-snap whistle
-Colors are easily visible

Cons:
-The top flap has several cinch points that can be difficult to open and/or may become tangled
-Rain fly may push water to the straps instead of down the bag away from the shoulders (not tested verified)
-Black back pads cause sweat

The best features IMO are the separate bottom section for sleeping bags, etc., the zipper pouch on the inside of the top flap and the rain fly. I can fit my Teton Journey sleeping bag in the bottom section and still have room for a camping pillow and bag sheets. The upper hidden pouch is great for those items you want to stay dry and out of the way, but may need to reach. While I haven't had the occasion to test the rain fly, it pulls out easily and covers the whole exterior of the bag and it's very easy to roll up for reinsertion into the storage pouch on the bottom of the bag (it is fully removable but is attached to the inside of the bottom of the bag by an elastic band). There are ample straps for accessories as well as a great vertical and horizontal cinch system. The torso length is customizable so that it can fit my 6'2" body or my wife's 5'9", only by tightening the straps on the back of the bag. The waist strap is comfortable for long periods as it is padded in the right areas, and more importantly, the fit is easy to adjust and there's a small zip pouch for granola, keys or small gps, compass or something. I couldn't quite fit my 5" phone in the waist pouch. There's ample space on the waist strap for a phone, knife, hatchet or pistol holster or whatever. A water bladder can be placed in the main pack section in the separated water pouch (running a tube through the pack) or water bottles can be hung on the side of the bag's two bottle holders. The pack holds a good amount of equipment (inside and out) and weight as I've had about 60lbs in it (training hikes) and even my folded up 5-year-old (see above). While I was training the shoulder and back pads caused sweat, but they also dry pretty quick. Over all, I'm very satisfied with the Teton Sports Hiker 3700. I have friends who have spend three times the amount and can't believe the features I have on the Teton. I'm becoming a Teton man, and I bet you will too.

Mochila de muy buen tamaño y cómoda. El espacio para el sleeping no es muy grande por lo que vas a requerir uno muy compacto. Excelente para ir de camping por 3 días.

5.0 out of 5 stars Una mochila que puede guardar mucho.

Las mochilas para campismo son mochilas técnicas y pueden utilizarse inclusive para "viajes de mochila" y no más. Esta mochila fue diseñada para viajes cortos de campismo , sin embargo, puede someterse a una carga moderada y funcionar bastante bien. Es pequeña pero sus 25 litros de capacidad la hacen útil para llevar suficiente equipo. Tiene amarres en el exterior para sujetar mantas, colchones ligeros, tiendas de campaña, bastones, bolsas de dormir y demás. Tiene espacio para una cantimplora flexible de tres litros. No la recomiendo como equipaje de mano ya que las políticas respecto de este tipo de equipaje varía entre compañías de aviación y los tirantes de hombro así como la sujeción lumbar pueden ser voluminosos. ¡Excelente mochila!

5.0 out of 5 stars but have an upper body shaped like a barrel so most packs in the 'day' size ...

I've been using this pack for about a year and have no trouble giving it 5 stars. I'll agree and say that (like most) I found it was smaller than I expected. That said, it IS advertised as a day pack, and I'd have to assume that the capacity has been measured and is accurate.
I'm short at 5' 8", but have an upper body shaped like a barrel so most packs in the 'day' size feel like I have a pack on that's built for someone's first day of kindergarten... I'm very happy how this one fits and carries a load. A friend who backpacks a lot tried it on (he's about 5'10" and skinny like a bean pole and after adjusting it he was happy with how it fit him also, so props to Teton for building a pack that fits different body types well.
Zero issues with build quality, all the zippers work slick, the rain cover is in the bottom compartment like it's supposed to be. There are lots of loops for strapping things on like poles, camera tripod, etc...and the ice axe Velcro loops combined with the bottom loops work great for attaching long items.
I've also used this pack on a few fishing trips (day trips) and it worked nicely carrying food for the day, lots of water, my shoulder bag for fly fishing, a hoodie, raincoat, 4-piece 5wt rod in a tube and the reel, GSI 'Minimalist' cook kit, alcohol burner, and folding stove plus misc stuff like the multitool, compass, bug repellant, small first aid kit, etc. It's large enough to carry everything for a day trip, but was also small enough to be able to wade the river and flyfish with the pack on and not have it getting in the way.

Here's a question for Teton if they're reading this....The loops at the bottom (where the tips of your hiking poles would go, for example) are different sizes. One is larger than the other. First I thought that they just weren't all that careful when they made or attached those loops, but it's intentional....watching videos about this pack (and other Tetons, actually) it appears that all their packs have one loop smaller than the other. Can't be coincidence.....is this just to hold whatever you're carrying snug depending on if it needs a slightly larger or smaller loop you can use the one that fits best? Silly question, maybe....but there's a reason and I'd like to know what it is..

One suggestion is that if you're planning on packing this thing FULL, make sure that you put whatever items that will be in the front and side pockets INTO the pockets before packing the main compartment. Those pockets are 'inies', as opposed to 'outies', so items in those pockets need to take space away from the main compartment. This isn't a fault, or problem, it's just the way it is. And, if it had big protruding pockets, it wouldn't feel as compact and 'out of the way' as it did while I was fishing, pushing through alders, climbing over (or under) deadfalls, etc.
