Thinning the herd...
For your consideration, I offer my Osprey Stratos 34, blue, in size S/M (41-48cm).
I am 5'10.5" at about 190lb, broad athletic build and the fit is dead-nuts perfect. It has a few hundred miles on it but is in wonderful condition. Air suspension back mesh is incredibly cool and comfortable and offers a place to store soft flat items like a bandana or hat. I wash, and air dry it every few outings. Comes with the Osprey rain cover. The only thing to point out is that the left shoulder strap shock cord, intended to lash down your trekking poles, has been converted to a water bottle holder. It's a front panel loader which makes it incredibly easy to get items anywhere in the main compartment.
$150 new.. Offered at $100 shipped in the ConUs
Here is the description from Osprey's website along with the stock photo; I'll post images later today...
-If you like to travel light and don’t care for traditional top loaders, the Osprey Stratos 34 is your go-to pack for a quick overnight excursion or a long day hike.
