Product Highlights
Affordably-priced without sacrificing features, the Mountainsmith Boundary Recycled backpack allows you to confidently venture into the backcountry without having to spend a fortune. With 4577 cubic inches of internal capacity, large external pockets and a fully adjustable suspension system, the Boundary Recycled is a reliable, functional "green" alternative to traditional packs.
Mountainsmith is pleased to be an industry leader in the move towards sustainable construction. Reflecting Mountainsmith's commitment to using reclaimed materials whenever possible, the Boundary Recycled is constructed of PET Recycled fabric, a material woven from threads produced from 100% recycled plastic beverage bottles.
The Boundary Recycled employs Mountainsmith's Load Dispersion Technology (LDT) suspension system. Twin lightweight aluminum stays overlap to form a supportive "X" that is contoured to mirror the natural shape of your back. This internal support system offers a flexible central pivot point which better distributes your load rather than driving all the weight to your hips. Coupled with an internal framesheet, the overall effect of the LDT system is efficient weight distribution, stable load control and flexibility that accommodates your movements. The Boundary Recycled's suspension is adjustable to fit a torso range of 18-22". Load-lifter straps, an adjustable sternum strap and a foam-padded, pivoting waistbelt further enhance fit, comfort and stability. The Boundary Recycled's dual density molded backpanel is channeled to encourage airflow and keep your back cool and dry.
A zippered divider between the Boundary Recycled's top loading main compartment and front entry sleeping bag compartment allows for organization and separation of wet and dry gear. When hauling longer items or in need of access between the two compartments, you can unzip the divider and convert the Boundary Recycled to a single, large compartment. Large zippered, external side pockets provide additional storage options and feature a pass-through design, allowing you to slide tent poles or trekking poles in behind them. The extendible lid of the Boundary Recycled is home to another large pocket and can be detached entirely for use as a lumbar pack.
The Boundary Recycled also boasts an array of performance features, including an ice axe loop, an integrated spindrift collar, side compression straps, dual elastic side water bottle pockets and a cord-locked bungee attachment system on the front of the pack. A lined interior pocket and built-in tube exit make the Boundary Recycled hydration compatible.
The Mountainsmith Boundary Recycled is available in your choice of Lotus Blue, Pinon Green and Aztec Red color options.

I give the pack four stars--for the price, it can't be beat. It's a good size for non-ultralight long weekends. It carries great, cinches down well, and the curve of the frame allows for adequate back ventilation. The pass-through exterior pockets are perfect for tent poles, etc. The only problem was that some of the stitching near the main compartment drawstring grommet popped; maybe I got a dud, maybe Mountainsmith could beef up that stitching a bit.
Either way, the fifth star goes to Backcountry Edge: they took the pack back, after I used it (within their 60 day return period), and sent me a brand new pack in less than a week, no questions asked, and no charge for shipping.
Dislikes:
Stitching around main compartment drawcord may be a little weak.

This backpack is the perfect size for weekend backpacking. I believe that this pack may be able to be extended for week use if you don't have to carry food in it (you combine all the group food in one pack). This bag is very affordable too which is great for a broke college student like me. The quality of this pack is very good. Good stitching, padding, zippers, frame, and the straps aren't made of cheap material like you see in a lot of backpacks. It's got plenty of outside pockets to put stuff like snacks, cameras, first aid kit, rain coat and has lots of room inside the pack as well. The pass-through slots are also great for tent poles and such. Overall I rate this bag as excellent!
Dislikes:
The map pocket with the waterproof plastic pocket is kind off cool but waterproof-ness factor is kind of pointless since the plastic is only one side of the pocket. An additional set of straps to tie stuff in would be nice too. Overall no big complaints though, still an excellent pack!
