[at-l] Backpack recs

[Mark Hudson]

<<Went to the local (sort of) REI today, tried out the Osprey Atmos 50
and the Gregory Z55. >>

Osprey was another name I was going to throw at you. I had an Impala
that I was very happy with, until I found the ULA P2 would do all the
same things for 2 lbs less. I'm not familiar with the Atmos, but
Osprey packs seem to be high quality to me. I'm not familiar with the
Z55, so I can't say anything there.
You are doing it right, take your time. Sort out your wants/needs and
look at a bunch...

Remember too that while it's nice to get the right pack the first time
it can also be a learning process. I have four packs in the closet the
lead the way to my P2.... <g>
