Arc'teryx Needle 35 Backpack - 2014-2258 cu in
The best light backpack out there

This was the best best backpack I ever bought. Perfect size for 2-3 days hikes or small trips. Filled to capacity small enough to use as carry-on on most airlines (still you want to double check) so it won't get damaged and tossed around. Sits close to torso, low top so you don't have to look down all the time, very sturdy material. Funky hydration pocket (I can't fit my CamelBak bladder in it, so it's kinda useless), overall the best out there. If you need size up, look ant Needle 45.
