Number one rule for me, I’ve learned the hard way: your backpack should be proportional to body size! If you won’t do so, you’ll regret not having done it right every minute!

Thanks for the backpack insight, Sabine. It sounds great and anything with an umlaut in the name gets my vote!

I chose my backpack from the following criteria: Front zippers for easy navigation of all my stuff, expandable in size in order to allow me to carry both summer and winter clothes and/or souvenirs, side pockets for stuff I need frequently, especially fitted for women’s backs, superb back support with weight resting on hips and streamlined design for convenience.
I already knew the Swedish brand Häglöfs made superior quality backpacks and my choice fell on the Häglöfs Sec Q 65 which has never led me down. It’s gorgeous, I easily carry 15 k’s on my back without feeling burdened (and i have a very small body frame) and it even has a bottom zipper with optional compartment for dirty clothes or your sleeping back for example.

A backpack that can be used as a carry-on is my dream! Sadly, I tend to overpack. I’m not even a big shoe person, but they’re usually my downfall.

This one looks great, clearlyenlight! Thanks for the tip. I love the suitcase-like zipper. I bet it makes packing so easy. Let us know how it’s working out for you once you start your trip.

Well I the pack I found is designed to carry on the planes. The day pack unzips from the main pack and the main pack opens like a suit case which is better for me then a top loader internal frame.

Just copy and paste if need be.
They have four different sizes and I bought the second to the smallest.
