Unlike modern polypropylene, nylon packs, this one is comparatively comfortable for summer hikes since it's fabric "breathes" on your back. The fact that it's still in one piece testifies that sometimes the old-fashioned design was a sound one.

Junior's Boy Scout Haversack
Junior's likes his canvas Boy Scout No. 573 Haversack that dates back to around the 1950's or 60's (in other words it's had awhile to get thoroughly broken in).
Unlike modern polypropylene, nylon packs, this one is comparatively comfortable for summer hikes since it's fabric "breathes" on your back. The fact that it's still in one piece testifies that sometimes the old-fashioned design was a sound one.
