"I feel that a Jansport Tohoma is an excellent pack. It has 2800 ci
and is lightwieght for hiking. It weighs a little less than two pounds.
I found that I could get away with it for two and half days. The
first time I used it I knew it was true Jansport. This was my second
Jansport I own. I still use the first one today. The Tahoma is a soft
pack. But a pack that can carry all even the kitchen sink , I have
found other other pack comparable. If I rated the pack I would
give it a 9.9 on the assumption that Jansport will make something
even better. Other features to this pack include Sternum strap,
padded hip belt and padded coolgaurd mesk back. I own
Jansport's Super Daybreak, Tahoma and the Rainier II."
"This is a great little pack! I have used mine for a few years now and find it to be just the right size for lightweight backpacking. The materials used have never ripped or failed me and it is simple enough that there isn’t a lot that can go wrong. The weight was a bit off and after taking the sternum strap and extra straps off it got under 2 lb. If I had to complain about anything it would be the shoulder straps. They are a bit thin and not wide enough for 25-30 pounds of gear. But then again it’s not supposed to carry that much. What’s the best thing about this pack? The fact that you can buy three of them for the same price as a comparable pack from the “big” gear companies ($50)."
"This pack is an excellent pack with very little complaints. It is big enough for a 2 day trip or even better when I simply use it as a gear bag for rope, shoes, biners, or whatever. The only dissapointment I have with it is that it only has one external pocket--and it is on top. I wish there were some pockets on the side or something for an easier access to more often used items. (camera, map, ect.) Other than that, it will last a lifetime! And if it doesn't, Jansport's lifetime warranty will take care of me."
"This pack is a classic and I was surprised to find its not in the current Jansport line up. It was cheap (less than $70) light (less than 2 pounds) and durable. I've been using mine for years. It's my first choice for trips of three nights or less. This was an ultra-light pack well ahead of it's time."
