KIDS EXPLORER 15

My son complained about his old backpack straps digging in, but the sternum strap on this one keeps everything snug without rubbing. The reflective details give me peace of mind on our dusk hikes.

My 8-year-old wore this on a 3-mile hike without a single complaint, and I think the SOFTNECK S-shape harness is why it was so comfortable for her. The reflective strips gave me extra peace of mind as the afternoon started to fade.

My 8-year-old wore this on a full day hike without one complaint about his shoulders—that SOFTNECK harness really makes a difference. We got caught walking home at dusk and the reflective bits gave me extra peace of mind.
