Hi there - I am currently picking which pack to buy for a 3 month Euro trip. I have narrowed it down to the following and was hoping for some feedback.
Eagle Creek Maiden Voyage - wasn't as comfly as Explorer LT but seems to have some more room
Eagle Creek Explorer LT - Was super comfy but didn't seem to have that much room and is more expensive. Was very light weight
Tatonka Zanzibar L - Also quite comfortable but I have'nt heard much about the brand or the packs.
Osprey - Ariel - Comfortable and a good fit for me but is a top load I am not a huge fan of this concept. But if it's the best pack I don't want to limit b/c of that factor solely.
Anyways any tips and other ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
I am a 5'8 girl and will be travellign through europe this summer, so it will be really hot, therefore I want good airflow. Will be mostly in Western Europe but safety and locking capabilities are important to me. Also I do need to have my life packed into this bag for 3 months, so comfort and space are also key! I also enjoy the side compartment load as opposed to a top load. As the osprey I tried on was. ANways hope to get some good advice.
Thanks in advance.
