For a day hike, the capacity should be 1,500-2,000 cubic inches (equal to 25-35 liters). If you’ll be camping out for two nights, the backpack size / capacity should be 2,500 or 3,000 cubic inches or 40 to 50 liters.

You may find it hard to believe but there are some really good lightweight backpacks that weigh less than four ounces. That's no exaggeration. Most bags like this will have a capacity of around 1500 to 1800 cubic inches which will enable you to carry about 15 pounds of equipment. This should be enough for your lightweight sleeping bag, a tarpaulin for some shelter, a basic first aid kit and some energy food. And some water of course.
