I was looking into the Osprey daylite, or maybe the Gregory Miwok in 18 or 24 liter. For winter day hikes I have my REI Flash 45, so I'm just looking for a warmer weather pack that's good for some speed hiking and maybe a bit of trail running. Any suggestions?

ps - I'm broke so some lower budget suggestions (<$100) would certainly be welcome. Thanks
You will likely need a pack for your school needs, so save some money and pick one that works for that and hiking. There are plenty to choose from at <$100.
