I do plenty of hiking (I was just stomping around the NJ Palisades on Sunday with my dog). Earlier this year, I picked up a pack at Overstock.com for $20. It has held up very well, but in hindsight, I probably would have visited my local outdoor store and tried a few on to see which one would be the most comfortable out on the trail.
