Some packs have systems that will keep it off your back, along with ventilated straps, it can reduce the sweat factor.
The one I bought has such a system called Airspeed. I bought the pack at Wiggle (cheaper), based on the following youtube review:
The Airspeed system does seem to work. I'm much less sweaty than when I used a Crumpler pack that didn't have a suspension system.
I'm still a little sweaty after an hour commute, especially as temperatures start to rise.
My shoulders seem most affected, as that's where the pack rests, and doesn't ventilate well.
