Osprey Packs Atmos 50 Backpack - 2800-3200cu in
The only drawback to this pack...

Love this pack and used it for quite awhile... until I realized how light the Atmos 65 is (just about 3 oz's more)... The compression straps on both bags are so good that I upgraded to the 65, but still treat it as if it was my 50. I can pack it lightly and cinch it down to where it (almost) makes a decent day pack, and then of course, open it wide whenever I want to carry everything I own on an extended trip. If you are on the fence between the two sizes, consider going with the (only slightly) larger pack. The weight difference is minimal, the shoulder and hip straps are more robustly padded, and the pack will still carry well with less than 20 lbs.
