Internal Backpack

I am going backpacking soon, and I was looking for recommendations for an Internal Frame backpack.?

There are lots of very good internal Frame Backpacks out there. Some brand names that come to mind are Kelty, Osprey, Jansport, Lowe Alpine, Mountainsmith and Eureka. Some things to look for beside price are fit (if you are tall, you need a long pack), size (longer trips require a larger pack) and features (lots of storage compartments, a removable top compartment that can be used as a Fanny Pack, or a built in Hydration Bladder area. Talk to people in the stores as well as on the trail and see what they like best.
