[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1730221, member: 103303"] Good choice! I hope he gets some good use out of it. I have had a Deuter Futura Vario 50+10 for the last 8 or 9 years. Dragged it all across the Americas on every kind of transportation imaginable. Carried it on my back a bit too, from multi-day beach camping to light mountaineering. Decent pack, I would buy it again. The suspension back + built in rain cover are amazing. My first Deuter was a Futura 22, purchased back in '07 - same style 'air carry' back - it is the best cycling pack I have ever owned (I've cycled a lot - easily over 100,000km). I crashed with it multiple times, gravel, pavement, you name it. I was very impressed by its durability - it kept on going until a dog got ahold of it one time... Currently I'm looking for something 30-40L to use as a 'day pack', main function will be getting groceries. MUST have suspension, can't be 'top load' only... Thinking about the Osprey Stratos 34 - I really love the suspension backs. Kinda curious about the new LL Bean Trekker Air Carry, but it seems a little small... Look forward to to hearing what others are using/liking. [/QUOTE]
