So they have these "Infinite Trail" packs all over ebay for great prices. I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of them? I imagine they are totally generic bags, but you know what, I travel for 2-3 weeks every other year. I think it could stand up to what I need it for, its not like I'm camping and leaving the bag outdoors and stuff.
Thoughts? I would like to buy this soon (ie in the next few days for christmas...)

I didn't see that brand anywhere but the packs I saw on there were allright. I have to warn you though that a 5100 ci pack is MASSIVE. I have a 6500 ci, a 3500, and a 2700. I have had the 6500 for 4 years and not used it once. It's just too damn big. And this is coming from a guy that stands 6' 3" and weighs 275

After doing a little research, imo these packs are decent at best.

well like i said, decent is what i'm kinda going for here. I know its good to invest in a great pack, but for all i think about travelling, in reality i'm doing it less and less. my 2200 was too small, this was cheap, ergo, i think i'll get one.
