Here is a review of my Osprey Exos 48 backpack. The Osprey Exos backpacking bags come in 38, 48 and 58 litre sizes. These lightweight backpacks still come with plenty of features. The Airspeed back system is really comfy, especially for backpacking gear this light.
I struggle to really fault the Osprey Exos. I guess the price is high, and the weight limit is probably 13kg, but for lightweight backpacking, it's a brilliant backpack.

This is what they say:
When you're counting every ounce but you know the value of a truly comfortable pack, the Exos was developed just for you. Reach for the Exos 48 for the perfect mid-size ultralight, with plenty of room to put in the miles, but not so much that you're tempted to overpack. Highly experienced backpackers will appreciate industry-leading comfort and ventilation—without the weight it often adds—making it the perfect pack for ultralight multiday adventures. For those who really need a svelte carry, the removable floating lid makes way for an integrated FlapJacket that keeps your minimal gear contained in its stead. Our refined AirSpeed suspension keeps you cool with maximum airflow between you and your pack, so each mile stays as comfortable as the last. Made with 100% recycled materials.
