Gregory Z 35-R Backpack - 1983-2472cu in
Certainly recommended, but not for Ultra-light purists

Great pack. It is a bit heavy for it's size, by no means an "ultralight" (my 75L pack weighs 47oz.) but certainly does the job well at carrying a full load. Used it on early season overnight trips and was able to carry all the gear, plus carry the sleeping pad and tent via the external straps. Wasn't sure I'd like the roll-top, but now wouldn't go back to zippers as the roll-top is lighter (slightly), quick to access, more convenient, more leak resistant, and functionally near fail-proof.
