Osprey Packs Talon 44 Backpack - 2600-2700cu in
Very happy with this pack

I am very happy with this pack. I have been on two lengthy - but short - trips (one up Half-Dome in Yosemite, and the other up Mt. Timpanogos in Utah). On both trip the pack fit and rode better than any pack I've ever hauled. The adjustments allow me to get it to ride just the way I like, and they can be changed incrementally when fatigue rolls in.
The only gripe I have is that the little pockets on the belt could be a little further toward the center. Also, I fear the large, stretchy pocket in front (very, very handy) is going to get too stretchy in the future. I stuff a lot of gear in this front pocket, access it frequently, and want that pocket to never give out.
Highly recommended!
