Osprey Packs Atmos 50 Backpack - 3000 cu in
very nice pack for medium loads

Ranked #57 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)

It doesn't have all that much room, so you have to be careful in how you
pack, but if you can fit all your gear in here, it's a great choice.
Good: Very very comfortable. Reverse-pull hip buckle. You can fit a 2L water bladder in the empty space between the frame and the mesh back
panel. Plenty of straps to hold a sleeping pad, ice axe..., and places
to attach extra straps for attaching even more. Nifty drawstring closure
that's easy to open and tighten. One main compartment, two tall outer
compartments, and a lid, for keeping stuff organized. Two hip-belt
compartments for quick-access items. Elastic loops on the shoulder
straps for keeping a tube in place.
Bad: The hip belt isn't very beefy. The lots-of-compartments thing may annoy some. It may be difficult or impossible to fit a bear canister (haven't tried yet).
