Looking for a New Buddy

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 thinking that a luggage will do for me, but since the girls I am with are taking their own, I think I'll be the guy again so I need something that is convenient and comfortable for me. Thus, a travel backpack.

Now, I am the search for the backpack that I will be using for the Indochina trip, and hopefully for future backpacking trips. 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:

Deuter Futura Vario and Deuter Futura 32

Deuter Fox 40 and Deuter ACT Zero 45

Deuter ACT Trail 20 SL and Deuter Spectro AC 28 SL

North Face Women's Terra 55, North Face Women's Terra 45 and North Face Women's Terra 40

So now, all I have to do is scout for these bags, choose what is more suitable for me and pay it with my hard earned money. :)

I will update which bag I have bought. :)
