Rugged Awesomeness Is Only the Beginning

Warning: The Explorer Backpack will give other hikers “pack envy.” For starters, it’s built TETON tough, so long-lasting durability is one of its most notable qualities. But it’s so much more than that. It features several of our newest must-have accessories, including a waist-belt pocket, tilted water bottle storage, and easier access to your sleeping bag compartment. These new additions are just a few of the reasons the Explorer consistently ranks among Amazon’s best sellers, and why “pack envy” is a real thing.

Which size is best for you? Good question. The Explorer comes in three sizes—65L, 75L, and 85L. While 65L is our classic size perfect for just about anybody and any outing, some taller people or those on longer adventures might want to step up to a larger size. Also, are you a “minimalist” hiker concerned with weight and efficiency or a “more is better” hiker who might be hauling gear for themselves or even kids, too. No matter the size, the Explorer has your back.

 

TETON Sports Explorer 85L Backpack

Waist Belt Pocket

This new feature is found exclusively on our Explorer Backpacks, and it has quickly gained plenty of praise for its convenience and placement.

The Right Fit

Comfort is a must on the trail, and you’ll have that with the Explorer 85L padded back panel, which is channeled for air flow, and contoured straps, which are fully adjustable in the torso, shoulders, chest and waist so you can get the perfect fit for your size and gear.

Ready for Adventure The unique TETON TOUGH construction has become a favorite of outdoor enthusiasts looking for a pack that stands the test of time (and lots and lots of hikes).	A Water Wonder Another new feature that excites us is the updated water bottle storage. It now tilts toward the user so you can access it easier than before … which was already pretty easy. It’s also big enough to hold one of those fancy schmancy metal bottles everyone is carrying around these days.	Easier Access We’ve taken our popular sleeping bag compartment and made it even better. We’ve replaced the elastic with a stretchy mesh that makes it much easier for you to grab and store your gear.	Pass-Through Side Pockets Adventure lovers are obsessed with our pass-through side pockets, which make storing your tent poles, trekking poles, and other long, awkward gear quick and easy.
