Camelbacks vs. REI Stoke Packs

[Red Rock]

I am an owner of a variey of Camelback packs (Blowfish, MULE, Cloudwalker, Rim walker...etc). I was looking at the REI Stoke Packs - women's to be exact, and wondering what you all thought of them. I liked the idea of the side pockets for accessiblity of items. That is something that the Camelbacks do not have. The space looks to be comparable.

Should I stay with what I have or would it be worth owning one of these? You could say I collect packs. There are many in this house for a variety of purposes.:D

Thankyou for your input.

I don't know anything about them but I found a good review at http://www.travelgearblog.com/archive/rei-stoke-19-pack.html

Thankyou MDHillSlug for your review.

I am trying to figure out how to spend my yearly dividend and thought this might be a nice feature. There are many things I have been looking at and this is one of them.

I know they have the mtb bullets by SIDI but that purchase might wait until I actually purchase the bike. The purchase might be a while away.:(

Thankyou,
