Here is the same bag on sale (weight wasn't shown so I included link above). The price here is just over $50. The first Lafuma above is $75, but is the same weight as this one and 5 degrees warmer.

Here is the backpack a friend uses and that I have recently bought:

Hope this helps, but in the end, you have to buy what's right for you.
