$200 · Osprey Ariel 55 women's backpack

A versatile, tough backpacking pack with all the features you'd need, fits great for anyone 5'6 and under with its adjustable torso length. I see a lot of Ariel/Aether series packs on the trail. You're basically getting a brand new pack for $200, no visible scratches or dirt since I take great care of my gear. Took me through my first couple backpacking trips, selling because I bought a pack that fits me better.
