But if I were to buy a pack today it would be either an Osprey or a Gregory. Both are great quality packs and are reasonably priced. My current pack has 2 external pull length pockets on both sides and a smaller pouch in the front, yet they seem to be a thing of the past. More and more companies are going for a more "streamlined" pack. So it is getting harder to find packs with built in ext. pockets. But I`d definitely go for an Osprey or Gregory Pack. Backpacker.com did a gear review, which included backpacks, not too long ago so you may want to check out their site to see the testers reviews. I would go to a major retailer such as EMS, REI or Campmor and try on the packs and maybe even ask them what they use. But, I would buy it on Backcountry.com because they have a no questions asked 100% return policy, so if you bust it or just dont like it you can return it for an exchange for a refund. It`s kind of cool because if you go to the bottom of their page and click return policy, its only 1 sentence. (I am just a loyal customer and do not work for or hae any affil. with them) Any other questions feel free to ask! Currently I have a Kelty that is about 12 years old.

The frames are aircraft aluminum (most made by Ames Tool). The Medium pack is the most common size. Smalls are pretty rare and the large holds more than I'll ever want to carry. The straps are easily adjusted and can be re-adjusted while you are walking to change with conditions. The quick release features work well. There are accommodations to strap tents and sleeping bags to the bottom of the frame. Of course they don't have fashion logos and the choice of designer colors is O. D., sand beige, desert or woodlands camo...The advantage over the MOLLE system is price. Alice frames are about $20 and packs about $35 I’ll concur with the Alice system.
