Trying to use the search function but kept coming up with no results. Any link on these packs or any thoughts?
Not difficult. What products were you searching for? REI has or had some of these packs.

Thanks for the link. Am new to this, only real hiking was back early 1980 so heavy stuff.
Looking for a pack to basically do 3-5 days at a time but maybe after time try something more as able. Starting in this looking at new stuff but on disability so like everyone else don't want to spend an arm and a leg.
Found this:

which is this on the link you gave:
https://www.bergans.com/catalog/backpacks/hiking-packs/Helium-55
Price is close to 1/2 less (not including shipping) so wasn't sure if good or not. On another backpacking forum they mentioned this brand.
Google Bergans Helium 55 review.
Check REI. They stocked it awhile back. Not sure if they still do. REI has a very liberal return policy. The only way to know if a backpack is right for you is to load it up and go hiking. A lot of hiking.
REI's return policy allows you to do exactly that. If a pack is right for you, keep it and use it. If not, exchange it for something different and start over.
Good luck.

Bergans is an old company but not very well known in the USA. At 2.2 pounds and under $200 the Helium warrants a thorough examination.
