Like many people when first thinking of travelling, I looked for the cheap options, thankfully my mate convinced me to look at the best. My Macpac Genesis has been great; it carries all you need for an extended trip through Europe, and has the added benefit over many boxy Travel Packs that it works really well as a hiking pack. I have used it several times for overnight hikes.

Other good brands in Australia/New Zealand include Mountain Designs, Mont, Tika.

When it comes to these top end packs the best way to decide on which one is right for you is to load them up and try them on. The harnesses all vary slightly so pick the most comfortable for your back and don't worry too much about a differnce of a few dollars in price, these packs will be with you for years!!
