Inexpensive and Tough! - Teton Sports Scout 3400 Backpack - Review

Today Luke is reviewing the TETON Sports Scout 3400 Internal Frame Backpack. This is a budget friendly pack that doesn't cut any corners.

Pros :

Well built. Inexpensive. Lots of great features. Adjustable Good warranty. Nicely padded. Includes a rain cover

Cons :

Heavy. That is my biggest complaint with this pack. Since it is more a budget pack, the weight goes up.

Review :

I’ve had this pack for 6 years and it continues to perform very, very well for me and I paid $55 for it.

Was it worth $55? Absolutely! Is it worth a $100? I believe so. This is a terrific pack for those who are on a limited budget or those who are testing the waters when it comes to backpacking.

With a 30lbs loadout I find this pack very comfortable. As you drop down in weight it becomes even more so.

My brother bought one of these 3 years ago and it has served him well too. No issues to report.

For this price, this is an amazing backpack and 5 years later, I continue to use it.

After watching your review I purchased it for my Tioga West Rim Trail hike and I have to say the backpack performed superbly. I was carrying 60 lbs load (I know way too much) and rained so had to use the rain cover that comes with it. This backpack is a keeper. Thanks for the review.

This backpack survived a month long backpacking trip across Sri Lanka. Still one of my favorites!. Love TETON Sports!.

Just picked this up on Amazon after doing research and also seeing your glowing review. Thanks Luke!

I got this pack as a present years ago and never used it. Now that I'm getting prepared to go on my first backpacking trip this video was super helpful in understanding the features and quality. Thank you!

With all the obscure packs you like to test it's nice to see some affordable, available gear.

[Deprofundis]

Hell yeah! Made up my mind for me on this backpack! Thank you. I own and have used Teton's 5+ mummy-style sleeping bag and am absolutely happy with it. I've used it a good 10-15 times and I have to say it's always performed, even in the snow so I'm happy to be picking up another Teton product! Safe adventures to all!

[rdaugherty]

Glad to see you spoke good of this pack I bought a green one many years ago and it sit in the closet up until 2020 when the hiking bug hit it also came with a supply list of stuff you don't want to forget really like it.

[rashadnagi]

I am so happy I found out you reviewed this! I have been dying to get into backpacking but didn't know if these were good quality or if I should go a little more expensive. Thank you!

Wants up Luke! I have this in green and love how it can be almost custom fit. I tend to overload backpacks sometimes but this one is sturdy enough to handle it but maintain comfort.

Look brand new for 100s of miles. Great video, I'm really considering getting this.

[AnaGonzalez-xjpm]

I own this pack and I love it!!! Def recommend

Amazon Canada just had the Scout 3400 on for $39 flash sale so I bought one. Regular price is $118 up to $180 depending on seller. Great video thanks

[sirreedster]

I have this pack and have used it alot. Have to say its a keeper. I bought it before I saw this review, but am glad it got a great review. I had about 50+ lbs in my last hike and it did very well. Great pack for the money.

[ministries]

I have this pack in green and love it! I have never taken it overnight, but have taken it for long day trips and it was fairly comfortable.

[jessiedelarosa]

Perfect video! I appreciate how you have a second can showing a close up of the backpack. Very detailed and I can actual see what youre talking about. It is a beautiful bag, and I might just get it now!

Bought my green pack through offer up for $50. Cleaned it and was basically still new. Have used it ever since for my trucking job on the road and also when I go through my travels. It's compartments are on point, great size. Once you get used to the pack it becomes almost a part of you and you know it and how to use it like the back of your hand. Always recommend this bag to fellow drivers. Great review. Maybe do an updated review of the same pack?

[timothyeubanks]

i purchased the orange because i liked the look of it more. Then i went backpacking in a hunting area and just kept the rain cover on while hiking and was even more happy to have a bright orange pack! i like the green as well, but I'm happy with the orange just for hunting areas i backpack in.

Hi Luke, awesome review, a very great pack, I have the Teton Explorer4000, I'm also waiting for the Grand5500 to be delivered, very excited to receive it. -Jake

[Gambyt]

Looks like a great pack. Kinda reminds me of my pack, a High Peak Pocatello 70L. I will have to keep this one in mind for sure for a second pack. Thanks for the review Luke. Really enjoying the channel and your passions for the outdoors. Keep up the great work. Strength and Honor my friend.

I am so glad I bought this pack it felt really comfy when I put it on and the material I think is better than some of the more expensive packs because of the nylon it seems very durable and there's tons of space to put everything an average hiker like me is going to need for a day or two out on the trail
