I might be in the market for a lightweight internal frame pack. I'm doing a hike up Mauna Loa soon (if you've been there check out the trip planning section as I have a few questions). Right now, I have two external frames. One's super heavy (it's a freighter, approx 7 lbs empty) and the other although much lighter still is heavier than I'd like.

I'm probably not going to take it to Mauna Loa as I'd only have a week or so to test it and figure it out, but I'm doing more and more trips where a lightweight pack would be nice.

Basically I'm looking for something that will hold enough gear for 4 days and is as light as possible withough large compromises in reliability. Comfort is the main priority of this pack for me. I'm looking for somehting roughly in the $200 ballpark.

Another thing it needs is the ability to strap a tent bag to the pack externally.
