The North Face Amira Backpack - Women's

You want a pack that actually fits you well, not just something that's a little smaller than the men's version. The North Face Women's Amira Backpack is so comfortable that you may forget you have it on. The Amira's shoulder straps and back panel have been cut to fit a women's body better. The front panel has an angled cut to distribute the load higher and closer to your back for easier carrying. You'll be equally equipped for a hiking trail or school hallway with the Amira's mesh water bottle pockets, internal organizer, front mesh pocket, and a main compartment that can fit either a laptop or a hydration system.

A small extension sleeve lets you overload this top-access pack; a large, zippered rear pocket helps with organization.

GoLite Speed Pack - 3200 cu in

Going light? How ‘bout less than 2 pounds light? That's what this stripped down pack weighs with just two strips of high-density foam for padding instead of an internal frame and silicon-coated fabric for the pack bag. Loads heavier than 25lbs will challenge the thin shoulder straps. But this pack isn't built for extended backpacking trips. It is an adventure racing phenom, and should be used like one. *Sorry, you'll have to provide your own helmet, poles, etc.

Jansport Endeavor Summit 45 Backpack - 3200 cu in

Ed Viesturs doesn't have time to mess around. The Jansport Endeavor Summit 45 Backpack was designed to meet the light-pack needs of Ed and by extension, less extreme mountaineers who prefer the taste of oxygen, thank you very much. The Endeavor Summit is designed for berserker 2-day attacks on summits, so it focuses on being tough and light. Dual Hypalon ice-tool holsters with cinch straps offer speedy access to sharp objects. The two compression straps on each side of the pack are long enough you can use them to lash gear on, or just squash down the pack with them. The five-point claw lid means this top-loader can be overloaded into the bivy extension collar in case you need just a little more space. The Endeavor Summit 45 is part of the pro series for a reason; serious mountaineers need look no further.

Gregory Z Pack - 3560 - 3950cu in

The Gregory Z pack 3560-3950cu in subscribes to the theory that light is right, but that there is a right light. Stick with what you need, and get rid of what you don't. But if the pack can't carry its own, it doesn't matter how light it is, now does it? This way of thinking earned the Z Pack Backpacker Magazine's Best Weekender Award in their 2004 Gear Guide. The Z Pack shrinks down for the shortest of trips, and even sheds an additional 9 ounces with a removable framesheet and stay. But it also handles a 40-pound load with ease during a weeklong trip through Utah's Wasatch Mountains. With a sewn-in Sport harness and Gulwing Plus waistbelt, it's not just a lightweight sack. Instead, the Z Pack is loaded with these lightweight conveniences: top and side access for easy access to every nook and cranny; a generous front bucket pouch; and a second front pocket and top pocket, both with water resistant zippers. Stuff this pack full, but don't be surprised if you forget you have it on. Three different sizes available.

Kelty Illusion Backpack - 3500 cu in

Granite Gear Latiude Vapor Backpack - 3800cu in
