I’m enjoying my 2021 Osprey Talon 33L pack. Its features (from Osprey):
- Top load access to main compartment
- Fixed top lid with external zippered slash pocket and under lid zippered mesh pocket with key clip
- Large stretch mesh front panel pocket
- Tuck-away ice ax attachment with bungee tie-off
- Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole attachment
- Dual upper and lower side compression straps
- Stretch mesh side pockets
- External hydration reservoir sleeve
- Easy-access, expandable stretch mesh harness pocket
- Dual-zippered fabric hipbelt pockets

I really like the trek pole stowing contraption and external hydration sleeve. Side pockets and straps are good for masts. It’s been on 60 summits so far this year and no complaints.
EDIT: The new hip belt pockets are large enough for me to stash multiple energy bars, headlamp, etc.
