Hey everyone, I need some help. Ive been doing alot of research about packs, I want to hit my parents up for one for the Holidays. So, I would like to know what to look for, how big of a pack I should get, and any special features i should be aware of when shopping.

First of all, I will be going to Asia this summer to Study in Singapore and travel around on the weekends, so for that I may not need a big pack, BUT like many of you I am a broke college kid, and I plan to backpack Europe summer of 07 for 8-12 weeks, so i dont want to buy two packs. So i would like a pack to be big enough for the Europe trip.


Lastly, I have been looking on Ebay at packs, they arent expensive at all for any pack between 40 and 80 litres, all of them are top loaders, but i can easily get a pack for undre 60 USD, is there anything i should be worried about buying a pack off ebay?

Thanks everyone
