Wherever you are going, you need a backpack which fits you. Try these tips:

Straps should be padded and adjustable, backpanels also padded and comfortable.
A mesh system allows for ventilation.
Inner framed backpacks strengthen the structure of the bag, providing support, balance and bag stability.
Look for quality touches like double stiching, especially at seams, good metal zippers, and solid well-made buckles.
50 to 80 liters is the most popular size for extended budget travel trips.
Don’t fill it to capacity – always leave space!
Buy a larger main pack and put a smaller, collapsible daybag inside.
Nylon pack cloth is water repellant.
Cordura nylon is easily cleaned and quick drying.
If your pack isn’t water repellent, buy a water-repellent cover.
Look for a backpack with a waterproof inner liner.
