REI[rei.com] has the Eagle Creek Men's or Women's Wayfinder 20L Backpack (various colors) on sale for $38.73 and the Eagle Creek Men's Wayfinder 40L Backpack on sale for $63.73 + Free Shipping.
I did some research to try and discern the difference between the men's and women's styles. They seem to have the same dimensions and overall look so I went to Eagle Creek's website and dug through some of there "women's fit" styles and this is the note I kept coming across: "Women's specific fit features padded, ergonomically shaped shoulder straps with adjustable sternum strap, safety whistle and padded back panel."

Thanks! Looks like a nice backpack. Combined with the free shipping (which is usually $50 or more), I found a good use for my $40 of gift cards. With tax, I paid a dollar out of pocket.
Excellent bag. Materials and stitching are very good quality. Ive had mine for over a year now and its held up very well over many trips. Did i mention that its very comfortable. 20l is great for small things and used for a day/weekend bag. 30l would be better as an all around bag.
thank you! i found it on REI's site and will add to OP. For some reason it didn't show up earlier when i was looking for other Eagle Creek Packs on sale
Free shipping until March 27. Wonder how this compares to the REI rucksack 18L I recently purchased and used successfully on a couple hikes in Big Bend. It's half the price, so something for me to consider
Plus and extra 20% off one item (code MEMPERKS2020) if you're a member.

does this hold 20L of water? need one for hiking
20L usually refers to the capacity/size of the pack. I occasionally use a 20L when working and I like the compactness but still have room for a basic laptop and tablet.

Why would you need to carry so much water for a hike? That's like 44 US pounds of water...
