Ok, I gotta admit it, I agree with your basic statement that fit is more important than featuritis, but really, I've found not too many packs that were within the realm of "fitting" for me that I couldn't wear fine. Is it just that I'm not carrying a huge load in them? Is it that I'm just a desensitized clod who has never had a properly fitting pack? I guess to me yes, fit is important, but I just don't find it that difficult to find a comfortable backpack...

Now shoes and boots on the other hand, forget it.. I'm a total princess.
