Aldi has a 74 liter internal frame backpack for sale for a mere $25 in store.
Before the flaming begins I just want to levelset and say I'm not looking for a high quality, summit Mt. Everest type backpack.
We're taking our teenagers on an oversea trip and since they don't take of things (spoiled kids toss their iPhones around [bought by Grandma]) I don't want to invest in a more expensive Osprey, Arcteryx, Mountain Hardwear, etc pack. It just has to last 10 days.
I would love to know if any one owns or has an opinion on this.

Sounds like it would be great for a quick trip!
Get it home, load it up, and have the kids walk around a bit.
Plenty of videos on youtube/rei that show how a larger pack should fit so the weight is evenly distributed between shoulders and hips.
If it fits well, it looks like a good deal.
Technically next week but many stores seem to put out some of next week's stuff almost a week ahead of time. (at least in my area)

I have owned two of these backpacks for a year. My boys have use them both just a few times, but they are doing OK. Single stitched seems bulge as you pack the bag; be careful. Just today I found myself doing my first repair on a zipper seem.
If you don't mind having to do that once in a while, this is a great starter backpack. I am still using my bag from when I was a kid; going on twenty five years. I don't dare hold the same aspiration for these bags. I just hope they make it until they are old enough to be nearly grown. If they don't, hey, it was only $25/each.
The compartments are well proportioned. The compression straps are plentiful enough. The divider inside holds up. All in all, I am very well pleased with my purchase.
