I read a few of the reviews and the TETON Sports Scout3400 seemed to be the best rated.

But the ad says it "is perfectly sized for youth and the light backpacker". It may be too small for you, depends on the gear you'll be using.

But for a few 2-3 day hikes I think you could make due with about anything. If it last more than a couple seasons for that then you did good with it.
