When I buy new pack I take all my gear into the shop and then pack it into the pack I'm looking at. Yep I get a few strange looks at first but then once I tell them what I'm doing they all say that's a bloody good idea.
It tells me if the pack is big enough and gives you a good idea of how it going to feel loaded up on your back rather than just throwing in a few sleeping bags in the store to fill the pack
