GoLite Ion Backpack - 1500cu in
Best of breed

I agree this is the sturdiest ultralight bag in its size range, bar none. None of that ultra-light, easily-ripped sil-stuff here, yet it's only 9 oz even so. This is my favorite bag, now that the much bigger GoLite Breeze (and slightly larger Day) are out of production (GoLite -- bring 'em back!). To slightly contradict another reviewer, this one does have a hydration port, right near the haul loop. The 2009 model is the same as the previous model, except the waterproof zipper is gone and replaced with a regular zipper and storm flap. Six of one... It's all good.
