The first prong is that we may not be the best in estimating Ender's size. Common sense says that he's a large. Like come on, he's 90 pounds. Large. However, I don't know where that 90 pounds is because he's actually probably a medium.
Second prong, I am cheapo. The last backpack we bought him was $30 and it was some random Outward Hound backpack. I have two issues with this backpack. The first is the strapping system. There are two that go under his belly and one across the chest. When he sits, the weight of the backpack falls on the strap across the chest, making him less likely to sit when I tell him to. Second issue, the bags on each side are humongous. When we put water bottles in the bags as weight, they hang down past his body. Therefore, when he walks, there's a mighty back and forth sway.
These two things really really irritate me.
So I was looking around for some backpacks and found one that I like. Except it is like $100. But offers me two solutions to my irritation: harness straps and bags that don't hang. Here's a photo of my coveted item:
This is the Ruff Wear Singletrak Pack. And I waaaaaant it. However, if anyone knows of a similar backpack that may cost less, I will forever be indebted to you.

Buy it. Come on. Dooooooo itttttt!
I think pitbulls are hard to size because they always weigh so much more with their muscle, but they're not necessarily as big and tall as that indicates. We've gotten the Ruffwear backpacks, and coats, for both of our dogs. We rationalize, that even though it is a bit pricey, they do fit pitbulls well and they're good quality so we'll never need to spend money again for a replacement. If you google you can find your pack in the $70's which is a bit cheaper than $100: http://www.backcountry.com/ruffwear-singletrack-pack?CMP_ID=SH_FRO001&CMP_SKU=RUF0061&mv_pc=r126
