Osprey Packs Ariel 65 Backpack - Women's - 3600-4150cu in
Functional, lightweight

This pack is well-designed and lightweight. I took mine on a four-day desert backpacking trip. The weather was hot and the last day was a pretty strenuous hike out with lots of scrambling over boulders. The back panel ventilated extremely well, and fit adjustments are easy on-the-go. The hydration compatibility worked with my North Face bladder, the pockets and compartments are well-placed, and the padding is comfortable. One warning: do NOT overload this pack. My boyfriend has the men's version, and we both started the trip carrying more than the recommended weight. We both paid with sores on our collarbones and hips. Once the weight was down, the packs were perfect.
