I am a new hiker and looking to buy a new pack. I live in Maine and work right near LL Bean's. They fitted me for this pack last week in a small. They put 25 pounds of weight in it (granted it was beans, not gear) but it felt pretty good.

Wondering if anyone has used it and could give me some feedback on it.
Thanks for any backpack advice. I'd prefer to purchase from Beans because of their guarantee and the fact that I'm close and try it on, however there is also a Cabelas near me.
