Searching for the Perfect Pack

The Leader: I like this pack because it's made of waterproof cloth, it has top, side and bottom access, and it has a pouch in the front. On the down side, (the very minor downside,) it does not have an easy access pouch for my water bottle, sad. I also like that it's black, it won't show up as much when I get it dirty.

1st Runner Up: This pack has more pouches and pockets than the Crestone, but I'm so short I have to get the youth size which only comes in red. I could get over this if it was an all around superior pack, but it doesn't appear to be. It also has side pouches which are nice on the storage front but suck in making it easy to fit in over head compartments on trains, plains, or any other place I might need to store it on my journeys.

I'm not sold yet so if anyone has any suggestions I welcome them.

    the crestone looks like you would just topple over...and red would be easier to spot.

    the crestone just looks bigger because the picture is bigger. In reality it's maybe 2 inches taller than the red one. Also you don't have to worry about the crestone blending in, once i'm finished with it no one would have any trouble spotting it
