I've gone through a ton of packs and I would never buy one that I haven't tried on. If you're planning on putting it to serious use, you want one that you don't even know you're wearing.

If you can find one at a local store you could try it out, camofire usually lets you buy stuff even after it times out, as long as they still have them in stock.

You definitly want to try it on first. And for under 100$, I wouldn't expect the best quality

nothing worse then getting into the bush and saying "hey! this isn't comfortable!"

saving money doesn't feel so good then.

Thanks for the info guys. I did buy the pack and if it doesn't work out I guess I'll just re sell it.

Looked like a basic backpack....more than likely something that would get you by for a bit of hunting, camping, carrying your books to high school, cub scout field trips, band camp excursions.....etc...

Really depends on the purpose or the use. Chances are if you're considering it, I'm guessing your not a very big backpack hunter, so it should get you some good use for a while and if it falls apart you wont be much $$ out of pocket. If it works for a while then it was a good buy!

I'm of the opinion buy nice vs buy twice...as there are several options out there in the same price range that would be proven brands, but you can always toss it on Kijiji if ya dont like it!

Ha, ya right

We have all seen you buy nice and then buy twice, three and even four times. Don't worry I fully understand. "Gearheads Anonymous" meets every Tuesday to discuss what new gear is coming out and how we can get it faster than everyone else . Feel free to join...

I think I would save a lot of money, if I traded my gear problem for a meth problem....
