Ok, had a bit of a look around, whilst there are threads about carry-on etc, i wanted a bit more information (hang on, beer run!)
Right, much better... Now, was wondering if i could see some pics or links to the backpacks/bags that you have been able to take on as carry-on luggage on planes in the past... Just as an example, when i was last in europe i too one of these suckers
Now, it was 65litres, and had the removable daypack, which i removed and carry'd on, and checked in the main part... The daypack sucked though. There was no airflow between the bag and your back, hence a sweaty back ensured...
Now, since returning to oz, ive bought one of these babys for domestic flights (weekend trips/other assorted adventures) and at 30litres, was fine for carry on. Also once i was at the hotel/hostel and threw the bulk of clothes on the bed, was fine for a daypack, and had great airflow around the spine area..
So, where is this thread heading? Well, post up some packs that i might be able to check out that are maybe in between these two i have shown that i can use for longer international trips of say 4weeks? Was thinking more along the lines of maybe a hike type pack, as i want to get into some hiking in the not to distant future, so maybe the one pack would do both... Only trauma i can see (is that trauma or drama?) is that they would be mostly top loading i guess...
Anyways, see what you think, enjoy your Friday night, and happy posting!
