Mountain Hardwear Iguana Backpack - 1950cu in
More for work than play

The pack is a very spacious 2000 cu - it easily holds my light synthethic down jacket + fleece + shell and a few more goodies. Hydration pack works nicely and straps and pack are all comfortable.
The flip side is that when it comes to features that could make this a stellar overnighter bag on the trail, it just doesn't cut it. Not many places to latch things on the outside (poles?!), awkward access to water bottle holders (they're too high), and oversized main compartment with top access only means that it's hard to get at some of the goods crammed in without taking everything out.
For a sub $100 bag it's pretty good, but I'd recommend checking out some of the new Marmot, Osprey, or Gregory bags in the same price range that handle your backcountry needs a little better.
