Can you recommend a pack with a sleeping bag compartment. I'm thru-hiking the AT next spring and the last thing left to purchase is the pack... Cheers

Can I recommend the Granite Gear Vapor Trail pack? http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Granite-Gear-Vapor-Trail-Backpack-3300-3900cu-in/GRG0014M.html It's one of the more popular packs on the trail... it rides well, it's relatively lightweight for a full framed pack, and can hold ~3800 cu in. This pack, in my opinion, is a little too large and clunky to use it for the 100+ days you'll be on the AT for. GoLite also makes some great packs... check out the GoLite Quest if the Granite Gear line of packs doesn't give you enough cu in of space: http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/GoLite-Quest-Pack-4400cu-in/GOL0155M.html Hope this helps!
