Backpack Anyone?

This week REI put a backpack we had on our watch list on sale for 30% off! That doesn't include the extra 20% off members one item discount coupon, which added up to an additional savings of $13.75.  All in all, it was an almost $100 backpack for $55!  Guess who now owns a new 40 liter backpack?  I got the pretty teal blue color.

Here's the specs:

• Sculpted shoulder straps, canted hipbelt and short torso length offer women an ergonomic fit
• Spring-steel frame transfers weight to the hipbelt and stabilizes the load
• Back panel has cooling airflow channels
• Panel-loading main compartment; bottom zipper
• Hydration pocket has easy exterior access
• Zippered pocket with soft lining for sunglasses or phone
• Unique water-bottle pocket design keeps bottles secure
• Trekking pole attachments; front lash points
• Pulley-style side compression straps
• Quick-release bottom compression straps
• Lash points on front for extra gear
• Heavy-duty waterproof bottom
• Special buy 

This new backpack will hold my 3 liter hydration pack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, clothes, snacks, poles, camp chair and who knows what else. Kathleen is excited! This means that I can carry all of my own stuff! LOL
