We like using holidays to give our kids things they can use when possible. My oldest kids are now adult size and have outgrown their kid-sized hiking backpacks, so I've been watching prices. I saw that Amazon had a sale on a brand I have used before, and today I noticed the price has dropped even more. These are now 50% off, and they were already at a very low price for the quality. I'm passing this along in case anyone out there is looking for a hiking backpack.
