My top choice for your needs would by the Osprey Aether. I'm not trading mine for anything (mine's a 65l, which they don't make any longer for some reason). I can't help you if you want camo or tactical or military, but if you want to haul a load with agility, comfort, and low weight overhead - get the Osprey. btw, they're not cheap, but they don't have the markup of many other brands either.

I dont have the experience with this exact pack, but I can vouch for Osprey. I have one of their packs and its the only pack I take with me on hikes and overnight camping trips. We dont do too much rucking/hiking when me and my boys go camping mind you, but all things considered you simply cannot beat an Osprey. Im a backpack guru. I love packs. Kinda like knives, you cant have too many IMO. If I had to recommend you a pack, I would say pick from the Osprey line. THey have them for almost any application. Now if we could talk the Army into letting us have an Osprey rucksack, I'd be a little more cool with the 10 mile ruck marches at 0300. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
