<CENTER><FONT size=+3>The Best Backpacks </FONT></CENTER>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<HR>
<P align=justify>I've been interested in backpacking lately, so I've been looking at a lot of customer reviews. Based on those, I've made a list of what seem to be the most highly favored backpacks on the market. Any of these backpacks should be free of serious flaws in design, though of course it's always possible that a manufacturing error can occur in a specific pack. </P>
<P align=justify>I've grouped the backpacks by (volume) carrying capacity, and in each category they are numbered in descending order of favor as estimated by me. But remember that <I>all</I> of these packs are highly favored by the people who bought and used them. Cost was not a factor in deciding whether to include a pack or in how high to rank it, so you might get a better deal dollarwise by picking a pack among the greater numbers. </P>
<P align=justify>The main consideration was the average rating on the usual 1 star to 5 stars scale. Packs that so far have had less than four reviews were not placed on the list, regardless of the average rating. </P>
<P align=justify>If the average ratings of two backpacks in the same volume category were "close" (subjective), but one had only five reviews while the other had 50 reviews, then I assumed that the pack having the much greater number of reviews probably deserved an extra tenth of a star just for being popular. That occasionally resulted in switching places between two packs in the list. Finally, if the average rating and the number of reviews were more or less equal, I gave the higher place to the larger pack. </P></BLOCKQUOTE>

운영자님 빅혼은 너무 빈티지스타일이어서 그런게 아닐까요 ㅎㅎ 그리고 빅혼은 접할 기회가 거의 없어서 좋은줄 모르기도 했을테구요 ㅎㅎ 영문싸이트 보니 봄팩이 외부수납의 불편때문에 평이 좀 갈리더라구요. 등반용으론 괜찮은데 트레킹용으로는 불편하다 등으로 말이죠 ^^ 제트 팩이라도 꼭 구해주셔요 ㅡ,ㅡㅋ
첫댓글 제가 알고 있는 대략적인 배낭평가와 비슷하게 맞아 떨어지는듯도 하고 아크나 그레고리와의 비교도 할수 있어 괜찮은듯 싶어 퍼왔습니다. 역시 대용량의 최강자는 다나가 모두 차지 했습니다.
BigHorn 이 봄팩보다 좋은걸로 나와있군요.ㅎㅎ 그런데도 잘 분양안되던데요.ㅎㅎ, 용량은 약간 그렇습니다. 분명히 Big horn이 봄팩보다 적습니다만. 더 큰 걸로 나와 있군요.

언제쯤 신형등판이 달린 배낭 멜수 있나요....?
좋은 자료 감사합니다.
