Any body have a recommendation on a day+ pack?

Looking for something that is 1800ish, <4lbs, decent suspension and hip belt, compact, bladder, <$150.

Basically a solid sleek daypack that can do a night or two and maybe even a boned deer.

I looked at a Osprey 26 or 28? Liked it quite a bit. Just want to see what somebody else miught be using.

Tanner- Finding boots sucks. I LOVED an old pair of Scarpa Rios. Had them re-soled until there just wasn't enough left to do anything with. I should have bought 4 pair, because of course they are discontinued.

I have a pair of AKU boots now that I like almost as well. Assolo, Kennetrek, Vasque, newer Scarpa, Miendls,....none of them worked for me. Feet get pickier as you get older(fatter).

I ended up buying a few pair from STP and returning all but the AKU's.

Good luck.
