    I was wondering if anyone could help me find a good place to purchase this backpack. From my research....the best places that I can find are

    backcountry.com
    moosejaw.com
    ebags.com

    any inputs would be great

    thanks!

    I have bought from ebags before. Check www.resellerratings.com for any online store new to you before ordering.

    I looked over their site real well, and I liked what I saw, I'd trust it. Don't forget to use the 10% off coupon code!

    I always check if the business is listed with the BBB and what the rate and nature of complaints/problems are. It's a great resource if you're not sure about the seller.

    Maybe that means they've had 0 complaints; of coarse a good thing.

    Thanks for the update, and keep us posted! :)

    i ordered it wed 11-07, got it today 11-09

    good price, fast shipping (free shipping), it came from colorado to ohioin like 2 days...thats pretty impressive....it was just wrapped in a clear plastic bag and then a white plastic bag that had the rockymountaintrail....seems like a very good place to purchase from
