Big Bear 82, well worth it.

Ranked #378 - Weeklong Packs (Over 4500 cu in)

I've owned this pack now personally for over a year ... I absolutely love it for the price i paid ... its 3 lbs 9 ounces and holds 5000cu which i think is pushing is once you add in your 2 or 3 litter bladder, but still .. i carry my 4 lb tent, sleeping bag and pad .. and everything else i need for a week+ in this badboy and it rides comfy ... It will start to strain around 40-42 lbs, so i like to keep my loads no more than 35-37 lbs which isn't hard to do with today's light gear. Mesh pocket is great for snack bars on the fly, large pocket up front for all extra stuff, lights/filter's/sprays etc ... For the price, weight, size, adjustability and comfort for a less than $100 pack ... you simply can't beat it .. Jansport did this pack very well.
