I'm looking for a good, sturdy pack. My issue is not being able to find packs, simply put. I can find cheap packs, external frame packs, packs of the appropriate size (4000CI), and packs with good reviews. But I can't find a pack that has more than two of these features. Does a small, nice external frame pack exist for a reasonable price?

Definitely try them on. I was originally attracted to the Osprey's as well... great features and fairly affordable... turned out they just didn't fit me well. Deuter is the one for me, everyone is different!

I have an Osprey that is collecting dust. Great pack, just not right on me. I keep going back to my old REI External frame pack. I just picked up a GoLite Pinnacle, and will soon see how it does. I've found the best selection of externals to be used, and on Craigslist, or ebay.
