A good backpacking pack will also be a good camping and BOB pack, so ignore these last two. Rent, borrow, or buy both, with agreement to return one for a weekend. Leave all tags on, and take each on a hike with all of your backpacking gear. If you can't stand either, return 'em both and start over!
