Must scout for skinny

Hello everyone and thanks for reading my review. I want everyone to know that I have a bunch of backpacks in my shed and the only reason I bought this one is because of my skinny son and all the other parent scout reviews. First of all, I don't need it. But I did, and here's why. My son was transitioning from Junior Scouts to Boy Scouts and needed a backpack. None of the packages fit around his waist. Back then 23". I've been planning for a long time and bought all these super cool ones. No: too big. My son is now a 26 1/2 waist (3 months after the change) and this backpack fits him like butter including the torso. I believe the website says the lap belt is 26" at its shortest, but I think it goes as high as 25". Only this item is sold complete. For the price and size, no need to buy a women's bag or more than $200, this is the bag. Second quality. Decent quality bag. Not at the top. Consider the price and what this bag has to offer the average budget conscious 11 year old this is a great quality product. At the same time: Parents: Upon arrival, check each thread, button, clasp, lace, zipper before use. I'm just talking Sellers: You need to contact BSA and sell them that particular product. I've been a leader for 5 years and often shop at scout stores. We need such products. At least try. A little info: For boys who may have mild scoliosis or have not yet reached a critical growth spurt, 1 is the way to go. I'm NOT a doctor but if you want to put a backpack on your child then this is what you need. I can see this backpack will last a long time with Boy Scouts due to its quality and versatility. Belts are also available! For a 55L backpack, outdoor space is just as valuable. Thank you for such a well thought out product. Note: I received this product in excellent packaging (great) but 1 button was damaged (manufacturing defect). And I don't trade. I love it so much I still give it 5 stars. And you boosted my son's ego with this package. Full disclosure: This is a Mom Scout review! It has enough space for EVERYTHING, including the "mommy care set".
