I have no experience with that pack, but the size would indicate that it is very similar to most "school book" style packs. If that is the case, I'd buy a Camelbak BFM or HAWG. You end up with a BPA free hydration bladder, molle attachments, and a lifetime warranty. When it comes to backpacks, or daypacks I've found that you can end up paying quite a bit more for less (paying for a name, rather than utility). Osprey makes some really good packs as well.
