I'm really good, although it's the next day now that I am getting around to replying! :)
Sitting here in my PJs, listening to a baby babbling, nomming on a chorizo and egg taco, putting off housework. The standard day off around here!
From the research I have done and the testing (with packed bags while hiking a few miles, to test stress points), it's important to get one that can support the right weight and not overburden yourself. Everyone - men and women alike, I think - wants to think they're stronger than they are. What I've read says your bag shoudl be no heavier than 1/3 of your body weight for men and 1/4 for women. So getting something that can hold that much securely AND have ways to balance out the load is important. You can't expect your shoulders alone to bear that load, or lower back in a bad fitting bag.
This is the one that I am using currently. It has lots of ties downs, which I love, so I can attach things I would need to keep handy to the outside of it. The straps are super tough and it's big enough to carry a lot. For me, it's almost too big though, but for a man, it would be good. I like it this way though.
If you're buying this for your lady and she's busty, be aware that you will likely need to sew extensions into the front straps. It's not comfortable or supportive to let them lay above your breasts. They should go across, from what I've found when walking with it, so grab a bit of extra canvas strapping and heavy duty thread and give her a few extra inches to allow for the boobage. These bags are nearly always designed for men.
