I currently use a HMG 2400 southwest for all my hikes which I really enjoy but tops out around 30 pounds. I'm looking for a pack that can handle a bit more weight and possibly volume for colder weather or hikes that I don't feel like dropping off resupply caches. I won't use this pack near as much so I would like to not spend near as much money as I did on the HMG(relative to how big that pack is). Right now I'm looking at a couple designs by osprey as well as the 2014 six moon designs 50 pack which is only 100$.
