My experience with the Deuter packs was, well, unfortunate and returned them. Maybe they're resting on their past laurels. So, I would like to find something in the sub-$120 range and some of the MEC brand ones look decent and the reviews are okay. Just wondering what some others on here use for day hikes.
Close to your price limit, but I've found the Eddie Bauer First Ascent Alchemist 30L pack to be a great all around pack.
