From Moosejaw:

From Backcountry.com:
"Load up Osprey's Stratos 40L Overnight Backpack and head out to cross another peak off your alpine summit list. Osprey's stretch mesh back panel, harness and hip-belt keep your back cool as you hike up above the treeline, so you're not stuck with a sweat-soaked shirt at the end of the day. Water-resistant zippers and durable, rip-stop nylon material protects your gear and keeps the Stratos in shape for seasons of peak-bagging. Unzip the panel in back, stash your water reservoir in Osprey's internal hydration sleeve, and run your hose out through the top exit port. The Stratos 40 Liter Backpack's vertical zip gives you quick access to the main compartment when you need an extra layer, and dual ice ax loops with bungee tool tie-offs keep your mountaineering gear within reach."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"Big enough for an overnighter, small enough for day trips, the Osprey Stratos 40 Backpack is a do-it-all all-star of mid-size packs. The sophisticated AirCore suspension offers support that easily handles loads up to 30 lbs. and the hipbelt even does double duty, providing small mesh pockets for handy storage of snacks, sunscreen, etc. Varied load configurations are a cinch thanks to side pockets, compression straps, and a floating top pocket. Jam a water bottle into a side pocket, and then later in the day use the same side pocket and compression strap to carry your trekking poles. Meanwhile the floating top pocket extends to accommodate gear intensive endeavors. A zippered left front pocket allows for access to the main compartment, often a faster method of reaching buried gear than digging down from the main top access."
From REI:
"New from Osprey , the Stratos 40 daypack keeps it cool and under control, with a light and fast design for full-day summits or overnights. Osprey AirCore suspension features twin fiberglass struts for support with flexibility while carrying heavy loads. Tensioned, contoured mesh backpanel provides a form-fitting and stable carry while allowing full air circulation. Anchoring into top and bottom wings, the suspension system creates uniform pressure with no hot spots. Top-loading design gives you easy access to the pack's contents, with a zippered lid pocket for stashing maps and small items. Easy zippered panel-access allows quick entry to contents without having to empty pack. Front stretch pocket is ideal for stashing jacket, compass and other often-used essentials. Large stretch-woven side pockets hold water bottles and organize other small gear items. StraightJacket compression wings let you securely compress the contents of the pack whether full or nearly empty, without sag or load distortion. Wings buckle across the front when full; for smaller loads, connect straps to buckles at the edge of the backpanel, cinching one panel over the other. Sewn-in hipbelt and harness both with Spacer Mesh are contoured and anatomically shaped to provide extra control and comfort. Spacer Mesh promotes airflow and moisture management. Zippered mesh pockets on hipbelt let you stash small essentials, such as small digital camera, energy bars, gels and sunblock. Hydration-compatible design features hydration tube portholes and uses cavity behind mesh backpanel to hold reservoir, sold separately. Top grab-handle, twin ice axe loops and side compression straps round out the features."

The Stratos 40 meets my requirements. It weighs in under 3 pounds, but still feels like it is a sturdy pack."
