Arc'teryx Borea Backpack - 2750-2990cu in
Big and lots of pockets.

Carries with the same plush comfort of the entire Bora series but with that comes the extra weight. Not your "light is right" backpack. Excellent access to tools, however -- modified kangaroo pocket fits the large size Voile alum shovel. Although there are extra attachment points for a shovel handle, the probe pocket is big enough to accommodate a 12' probe, shovel handle, tent poles... Despite the numerous organization pockets, it's still a pretty clean design. The fairly large volume might be too big for a lot of day trippers, but it has good cinch straps, and you don't have to fill it, right?
