Since our Indochina Trip is finally on the move, I think it is necessary for me to check out the things that I will need for the travel. I was initially thinking that a luggage would do well for me, but since the girls I am with are taking their own and thus, I need to help them out on this, I need something that I could easily work with, more convenient and comfortable for me. So I decided to look for a travel backpack.
Now, I am on the search for the backpack that I will be using for the Indochina trip, and hopefully for future backpacking trips. Lalaki naman ako dati, kaya okay lang sa akin ang backpack. While online, I stumbled upon a site which gives great tips on how to choose your travel backpack. That's when I learned about a daypack and a travelpack.
Basically, a daypack is the smaller version of a backpack, which is on my perception, my hand
y dandy backpack (for school or for weekend travels). Think about multi-purpose for my backpack. Moving on, a travel backpack is somewhat similar to the backpacks mountaineers use, that elongated pack with spaces for tent and water bottle. On the site, it discussed what packs are suitable for women and men and what brands are the best for it.
Travel packs comes in various sizes, not by inches, but by volume. According to the site, a 30-45 pack is suitable for a 5'3'' frame like mine.
Deuter and North Face, both international brands, manufactures these packs. With that in mind and thinking of at least 30L of these backpacks, I came across these bags:
So now, I need to look for these bags, try them on and canvass how much I will be paying for it. Personally, I am setting the budget for my bag, na walang lalampas ng 6,000.
Happy bag hunting to me!
