Superb post! I was looking to downsize from my 65L Luminous pack to something much more manageable. I ended up with a 46L Osprey Porter. I’ve become a fan of Osprey from this pack. It’s large enough to travel for extended periods but small enough to fit on a carry on. The money I’ve saved from checked bag fees has paid for the pack itself!

Thank you for this informative article. Personally, I am a huge fan of the Osprey line of backpacks. I am quite impressed that you have reviewed 6 of them. Especially, I love the Osprey Atmos 65G due to its anti-gravity suspension system and excellent ventilation. By reading this post, I have gained so much more regarding travel backpacks.

Great roundup! I wish that some like the Deuter weren’t quite so tall — the height makes them ineligible for carry-on :-( When I was shopping for a women’s specific pack a few months ago I found lots of great choices with different features. I ended up with the Thule Versant 60L – higher capacity than I initially thought, but it can be cinched down to carry-on size. I love that it’s short enough not to hit the back of my head and that it has an adjustable harness height.

It depends on how many days you’re backpacking for. I have a 40L and a 55L backpack. When travelling for less than 4 days, I pick the 40L one and when travelling for more than 4 days, I pick the 55L one.

wow! A lot of technicalities there but I learnt a lot too. A very useful article I would say. A good backpack is one of the most important thing a backpacker needs. I have a comfortable 45L High Sierra which has served well for some years now. My own preference is front loading as things are easily accessible but as you say it is an individual’s opinion.

Very informative post with all the things you need to consider when buying a backpack, well done! I have a Deuter 60l (female version) since 2012 and it is the best investment I have ever done in traveling, it resisted 1 year touring the world and much more! For me it is the Ferrari of backpackers, lol

I also have an Osprey backpack and I love it. I love how detailed you are in your review. You really go over what the perfect comfortable travel backpack should be like. I wish I would have read your reviews before I ordered mine on the Internet.

Have heard so much good things about Osprey and Deuter from my friends so im really considering those two for my next backpack. Thanks for all the tips in choosing one! I am very picky when it comes to backpack because of my scoliosis.

Thank you so much for this post. I have been thinking of investing in a good backpack from a long time, as I feel it is so important to have the right one when backpacking across a country. I have bought few backpacks in the past but have not helped me much. I will consider the tips you have provided in the post while investing the next time.

I learned a lot from your post. I like backpacks but I did not know about factors like ‘frame size’. I have visited camping stores but I have not asked about the features of their backpacks. I am going to read more about front loading and top loading backpacks.
