Buying a rucksack for traveling?

Question

Can anyone give me some suggestions? im looking for a rucksack about 30L capacity, but i want one that zips down the front so its easy to find stuff in, but goes on your back like a normal rucksack.

Answer 1

I'm have just returned from travelling and I used a backpack like the one you describe. It was made by Aztec and I bought it from Amazon. It did the job.

Have a safe and amazing trip.  

Answer 2

If you intend to carry the backpack a lot go to a shop like Paddy Pallin or Kathmandu and get properly fitted for a pack.  The back length is especially important.

Answer 3

Try blackwolf packs. They're designed for traveling and hiking and I've used mine all through europe, china, egypt and india and it's still going strong. They're about a third cheaper than other packs of the same quality as well so great value.
