I have an Osprey Kestrel 48. I believe its 3,300 cubic inch or so. Depending on what gear you have and what you bring along, I know myself thats enough space for three days.

It has a bunch of nice perks too, like a rain cover pouch, and pockets on the hip belt to name a few.

go with Gregory. yes, they cost alot, but you get what you pay for, and the last place you need an equipment failure is in the middle of the forests.

Those dryads can only help so much!
