Personally, I'd buy him a gift certificate to a local area REI or an outdoors store that really knows their stuff. Nothing will ruin a trip faster than a bag that just doesn't fit the person correctly.

Osprey.
Not a fan of Mountainsmith. The guy who developed them would literally go out into the woods with a rucksack and various attachment methods and material. And he'd sew on a pocket or subsidiary pack as his whim suited him. Then he'd bring the "prototype" back to his designers to have them work it up.
They've always just worn sort of sloppy, imo.
I'm still rocking my old Dana Design packs.
