I'm going to be getting my first hiking backpack soon. I'm looking for something around 5000 cubic inches.
The main ones I'm considering right now are the Kelty Red Cloud and the Jansport Klamath. If I find a good deal, I might spring for a Gregory Palisade. The other one I've seen that peaked my interest was the Jansport Big Bear.
Does anyone have any experience with these packs and could give me some recommendations? I'm really tempted by the Klamath because I'm a college kid on a budget and they seem pretty good and are inexpensive. Do the Jansports have significantly lower quality than the Kelty or Gregory or do Jansports just not have as many frills?
For reference I won't be doing anything too intense with this pack, just hiking and camping up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Any comments, recommendations, advice, etc. is appreciated. Thanks!
