  Subject: [Philmont]: Backpack size

  I'm looking for advice on the size of backpack I should buy for my son --
our trek is August 2005, when he'll be 15 yrs old, and probably 5'10". He
currently has a "beginner" backpack that will clearly be too small for
Philmont, and I want to buy him a new internal frame backpack this summer so
he can get used to it. When I look at the specs, sizes are given in cubic
inches...4500, 5000, 5500, etc. Any recommendations?
  Many thanks,
  Bob Schaettle
