1   Link   Adjusting backpack fit - REI comapny
REI, an American company, has one of the best sites I've seen for promoting knowledge and, of course, its own products. It seems to be set up as a Co-op. This link has information and short video clips about how to "fit" a backpack. It's a nice site to window shop if you are in Canada, like me, and if you are in the U.S.,it has a directory of stores as well.

This link goes to REI, an American company which sells camping gear. It also has many articles on choosing gear and camping in general. 1st Lexington.org does not endorse any particular product or company but kudos go to those which offer good information on which to base your choice of gear or experience.
