What's become of retail? All I wanted was a functional backpack that would take me through my trip without embarrasing me. The "sporting goods associates" at Dick's Sporting Goods couldn't even hide their snickers, and pointed me to a bag (yes, a bag, not a backpack) the main selling point for which was it had a slot for mp3 players and a hole to snake in a pair of headphones. Seriously, it was called the iPack Extreme! or something like that. To try to gain some credibility, I picked this monstrosity of a pack...that didn't work by the way. It actually has 2 more cupholders than my car does (no, really). Also, for future notice, the website for Dick's Sporting Goods is NOT www.dicks.com
