I just bought this similar pack for $14.50 as a lightning deal then I saw the pack in the post. The $24.90 pack has less needless pockets and doodads, but also has nice looking hipbelts and waterbottle pockets. I've got the $24.90 pack incoming, so I can do a comparison and post about it if anyone is interested. Looks like it could give some much more expensive packs a run for their money.
