Backpack recommendation for 3 month EuroTrip
Hi:
One of my family members will be doing some backpacking in Europe for a few months this summer. I've been trying to find a backpack for them that is suitable (based on the requirements below) for a young adult male but so far no luck. Here are our requirements: -conversion style-pack (those backpacks with the flap that covers the hip belt and shoulder straps so when you go on a plane or train the straps can be stowed away) -should be comfortable for young male adult (e.g. padded waist-belt that should carry it on the waist and not the shoulders. Should straps should also be adjustable) -decent size (something between a minimum of 80 litres to a maximum of 100 litres capacity. We'd prefer something at 90 litres or higher if possible). -NO daypack necessary -multiple-entry points for packing (e.g. not top-loading only) or multiple-compartments. For example, having a zipper that goes around the sides for the top 1/2 of the pack would provide convenience of access. They do not need a daypack, they are just looking for a large capacity backpack that has the hip belt and shoulder straps that can be stowed away. However, the only packs we've been able to find so far are those top-loading only backpacks (Which are huge but it is inconvenient to only be able to load clothes, etc. from the top of the backpack) without the stow-away straps. Any suggestions for stores in the Greater Vancouver area (particularly around Vancouver/Burnaby/ and West/North Van?) Thanks. SS |
