Open Thread: Which backpack to use?


It's the age old question. What backpack do you travel to Europe on? Post any thoughts in the comments section. Hopefully we can help other travelers! I spent months planning for my trip and deciding what the perfect size was for me. You can read about some of my initial thoughts on what to pack as well. I ended up going with a North Face Terra 30. I was on the fence and actually purchased a 60L backpack only to determine it was going to be too big. I looked at 40L and then found my sweet spot in a 30L. I was backpacking for just over two weeks and that size worked perfectly for my trip. What size do you plan on taking?
