Two part question here. Local backpacking outlet is running a pretty great sale on pic related, Deuter ACT Lite 50+10. I have only day hikes with a smaller Gregory pack, and I'm trying to get into multi-day backpacking trips. The capacity of this pack seems to suit me, and I've heard great things about the suspension + overall quality. Assuming I still like it after being fitted and weighted then walking around the store for a good while, does anyone have experience with this pack?
Also, this is a standalone store, so no seller extended warranty. I have heard that pack manufacturers will send you a loaner pack to use if yours fucks up, but that still seems like a hassle no matter where you are.
The alternative is to miss this sale and just buy the pack at REI so I'd be covered no matter where I am in the country if the pack horrendously fucks up. Thoughts?
