Budget Travel GearYo Nellie, which backpack should I git? Questions and answers on gear related topics (i.e. backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, hiking boots, stoves, etc.).
I've been looking at the Gear page with all the recommended brands (Gregory, Eagle Creek) for backpacking. I'm going to Europe for 5 weeks so I need something sturdy and will last long, but all the backpacks seem to be HUGE. I'm only 5'2" and really petite so what bag would be appropriate. All the Ebay listings for the Gregory/Eagle Creek bags have previous owners who were 5'8" or taller, and it's hard to guess what is appropriate with the description on eBags.com.
