Osprey Packs Exposure 50 Backpack - 2800-3200 cu in
Awesome pack!

I originally bought this pack for ice climbing and mountaineering, but it has replaced my summer pack for long backpacking trips as well. I cannot say enough about the hip belt--it really makes this pack comfortable for a long day (even for someone with back problems like me). I have had the pack for 3 years, and it does show a little wear, but there are no visible holes or tears. There are ample tie down spots, and the built in haul loops are awesome. This pack does have a few cons though. First, the opening is a little tight for me to fit my rope in while wearing gloves. The long straps on the back also tend to get caught on things more that I would expect them to. Overall though, I am completely willing to overlook the shortfalls because of the awesome comfortable fit and light weight.
