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 ’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 65L 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's 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.
New Sizes
You’ve already learned how the adjustable straps make this an incredibly comfortable pack, but we wanted to ensure that this pack was ready for every body type, so we’ve expanded our size options to make it easier to find the perfect pack for your frame.
- Capacity: 65 Liters
- Dimensions (filled): 32" x 18" x 12" (81 x 46 x 30 cm)
- Colors: Black | Graphite | Huckleberry | Olive
- Torso Length Adjustment: 19" - 23" (48 - 58 cm)
- Pack weight: 5 lbs (2.3 kg)
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.
