[pct-l] Selecting A Backpack



I HIGHLY recomend Osprey Packs.  I have three of them and enjoy every 
one of them.  The last pack that bought, I purposely tried not to buy 
an Osprey so that I could try another brand, but I just could not deny 
that the Osprey was more comfortable than the rest.

Also, I beleive that osprey packs are the only pack maker that still 
makes their packs in the USA. (They were last time I checked, but 
things are moving to China rather fast these days).

Lastly, Osprey is certainly the most innovative pack designer.  They do 
not beleive in patents, instead prefering to advance the entire 
inductry with their new designs, which then forces them to innovate 
even faster to stay ahead of the competition.

peace,
dude
