The ALPS OutdoorZ Commander + Pack Bag is a monster of a bag, built for hunters. The OutdoorZ Commander works best for longer outings, especially where you need to tote a lot of gear over the course of days or weeks. The bag is really 2 parts, between the pack and the frame which is 15″ wide and the height is adjustable to approximately 36″ – 42″.

The High Sierra Appalachian 75 Backpacking Pack is a good inexpensive 75L bag for those thrifty backpackers who want something comparable to a top line bag under $100. As far as design and comfort there isn’t much drop off from a top of the line bag.

The Deuter ACT Lite 65+10 Hiking Backpack is an extremely comfortable backpack. The Aircontact lite back suspension system of the pack really helps to evenly distribute weight so it doesn’t feel like your walking with 30 pounds of gear on your back.
