When making a purchase, consumers are driven by all three, but the pack s features often close the sale. Consider the features important to you, and the ones that seem logical and user-friendly. Figure out what is best for you. One of the very best packs for organization is the Mountainsmith DL-7 . It also offers easy, comfortable carrying.
Fit is king.
Without a good fit the pack won t work for you, even if it has been stitched with the best materials in the world, has all the latest cool features, is your favorite color, and your best friend carries one. The pack has to feel good on your back. If a pack comes in a variety of sizes, check with the manufacturer for recommended torso lengths. In very general terms, torso lengths of 14 to 15 inches fit small packs, torsos of 15 to 16 inches fit mediums, and 16 inches or bigger fit tall or large packs. My last tip for school packs is to consider alternatives to the traditional pack, such as courier bags or bicycle messenger bags.
