$150 | 1 lb to 12 oz | www.mammut.ch

Though not the lightest tool in the closet, the Lithium 32 (about 2000 cubic inches) packs of a plethora of features, including elasticized front and side pockets, a two-compartment top pocket and one zipped waistbelt pouch. Its suspension (foam back panel with metal stays) carries overnight loads comfortably, although the shoulder straps could use a bit more padding.
