Backpack choice for 13 year-old looking at two options

[STAGHOUND]

Hi folks I'm a thirteen and a half year old looking at packs for future hunts. The two options that fall in my budget are The outdoors pack range or the Eberlstock F1 main frame with a vapor 5000 bag. I cant afford anymore than this I've read some reasonably good things on both packs it would probably be my Christmas present which one is better out of these two. I'm leaning towards the Outdoorsman's long range pack.

A pack that will grow with you would be a big plus at your age a pack that fits you well now probably will be too small in a few years.

My son is 13 he has a hand me down stone glacier solo, if you can wait and try to find a Similar style pack used after the season that might be ideal. Try to find a pack with load lifters.

I think the OP would be right on the border of out growing that pack. My son had a western edge it was perfect when he was smaller but if he’s going to buy it and use it into his late teens he may outgrow it fast.
