Here's what other sites are saying:
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 Moosejaw:

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 EMS:
"The Osprey? Stratos 40 is the perfect size (2,600 cu. in. large) for a full day of hiking or a light and fast overnight. Recommended for loads up to 25 pounds. Back net creates a large AirCore cavity between you and the pack for outstanding air flow. AirCore cavity can be left empty for a cooler ride or filled with a hydration bladder (not included). Padded, contoured shoulder straps. Sliding, adjustable sternum strap with emergency whistle built into plastic buckle. Lightweight, breathable airmesh hipbelt. Large top loading access and a fixed top lid with zippered compartment. Also access the main compartment through the left front zippered pocket. Horizontal straps allow you to compress the pack straightjacket style when carrying smaller loads. Generously-sized stretch-woven front pocket. Zippered hipbelt pockets for small personal items. Two stretch-woven side pockets. Ice Ax Attachment; ice axe loops. Bottom fabric: 330D nylon."

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