Now that I've essentially switched to mostly ultralight gear, this little gem doesn't get the use it should and hopefully somebody out there can put it to good use.
Arc'Teryx Bora 65 Backpack, internal frame, size regular/med. (currently fits a 5'9", 150 lb. male just dandy), redrock and black, 4030-4640 ci, depending on configuration, 6lbs., 8oz., hydration bladder pocket, 2 external ice ax/trekking pole straps, seperate sleeping bag pocket and detachable hood/fanny pack. 2 years old and in excellent condition, no... really. $325 new, Your price - $200 OBO. Here's a link to Arc'Teryx for more info.

This is the most comfortable pack I've ever owned, and there's been a few. Even my newer lightweight stuff isn't as comfy, I just wish it were lighter. Happy shopping and take care.

dg-
I went with a GoLite Team Adventure pack. It weighs in at a svelte 1lb, 14oz. There were many tradeoffs such as capacity, only 3300 ci, and few features. But as long as I don't exceed about 25 lbs. total pack weight, that's water, food, gear, scotch, cigars, everything, it feels great. Not as versatile as the Arc'Teryx mind you, and not to be used for longer than weekend trips, but waaaay light.
