So this is what I bought, http://www.gregorypacks.com/prod.php?ID=6 . I know it is a massive pack, but im going to be living out of it for about 2 months and using it as secondary luggage for another 4 months, plus i figure i can use it on future trips that will be longer. It has compression straps so that the room that i do not use i can keep my bag at a decent size. But to top it all off, i saved about 70-80$ on the original price. When i get done testing it out, I will gladly give any reviews for you guys if you wish.

It is a large pack, but it also looks really comfortable. A review of this bad boy wil be really helpfull. Just remember that when you have large pack you tend to pack more, just watch your weight, no one likes a sore back when trek'n. Load up your pack and walk a couple of kilometers a day with the intended weight in it to prep ur self.
