I love backpacks. I have a problem with them; right now, my two favorites are my 40L Patagonia black hole (I *love* my 60L one, but it's too big to carry on) and my Topo Designs backpack.
My three favorites: 20L Eagle Creek, 30L Osprey Porter, 40L Ebags Mother Lode Jr. All are tested and trusted. Of the three, the Osprey has gotten the most use and is the one I'm packing for this upcoming trip. P will be carrying the 40L MLJ.

Now I want to research bags.

I'm really happy with my Tom Bihn Synapse 25.
I'm sure Dante is appreciative of your paraphrased mention. I am sure there's a circle of hell where one is forced to carry a quickly unraveling bag!
