Default Recommended Large Capacity Back Packs

I used to have a glorious, second hand 80 litre Bergen with internal, padded frame. I could wear it for days without issue, when I couldn't even do that with a 50 of most, but it wore out.

I need a new one-what would you recommend as the ultimate in comfort and size?

Here's a review of the pack that I use:

REI Flash65

What do you mean by "ultimate"? If you want the most comfort, you don't want the biggest size. What kind of liter capacity are you looking for?

I recently used the Jansport Klamath 85 (5200 cubic inches) when I went Walkabout in the Eastern US. I was able to carry enough for a week in complete isolation with no problem and had room to spare. It is also tough as nails comfortable as an old pair of jeans.
