Osprey Packs Switch 36 Winter Pack - 2000-2400cu in
Very Good First Pack.

I got this pack b/c one of my friend's suggested it. I am very happy with it. It is large enough to carry all of the typical backcountry gear (probe, shovel, beacon, shell, softshell(?), snack, camera, gloves, goggles). I looked at the Switch 26 and decided the Switch 36's roominess was definitely worth the extra money. As long as the straps are adjusted correctly, the pack stays in place. The backpack is very comfortable and a great buy.
