I like Eagle Creek packs but I use them for international backpacking so some of their features while adding weight are worth it to me. They're not cheap but the quality is there.

I got a Coleman external frame backpack about 5 years ago, it's done good, and its comfortable. It was about $60 new.

Well, I got a Trailmaker last year from Wal-Mart, its a medium size back pack with no frame and it's done well since I've had it. it was about $20 new. I thought you was asking about a full frame backpack above. Being an Eagle Scout, I've done a lot of camping and that bag will hold up very well in all conditions, I forgot to mention, its also water resistant.

I just think the frame backpacks are a bit much, and sometimes uncomfortable. the last one I had was over $200 but it lasted awhile (Eaglecreek)
Thank you though!
I knew I would get some good feedback here!

$200.00 is not out of line ~ at all ~ for a quality pack.
EagleCreek is not a name I am familiar with, however, if you're looking for REAL good stuff at a fair to reasonable price, see:

My EC is an internal frame, was your's external? I think externals are better for true backpacking but are vulnerable as checked baggage.
