Question - I'm considering a Black Diamond Covert Pack or a Black Diamond Outlaw - what is the difference and is it worth spending the extra $ for the Outlaw?

I have never owned an Outlaw but I started using the the 22L Covert with and avalung this season and I love it. I am about 6ft tall and the waist belt rides up around my belly button but that is my only complaint and it has not gotten in the way yet. The pack fits everything I need for a day in the backcountry and calms my nerves a bit because of the avalung, it might be worth getting the model with the built in avalung if your planning on hitting the backcountry at all. It cost a like twenty dollars more but I have noticed that the model with the avalung has been on Tramdock quite often in the last month or so, if your not in a hurry you might be able to catch it for a little cheaper on there. Here is a link to the model with the built in avalung. http://www.backcountry.com/store/BLD0947/Black-Diamond-Covert-with-Avalung-Winter-Pack-1343-1953-cu-in.html
