I'm doing my first ever multi-month back packing extravaganza.Is a 40L osprey bag good? I'm just bringing like 4 t shirts, 3-4 shorts, 1 light weight long pants, laptop, phone charger, laptop charger, 3 small backup batteries, basic toiletries, underwear, socks, light rain jacket.
>>286456240L is fucking tiny dude. And do you mean riding trains around and going to hotels and hostels or actually some trekking
>>2864951How many people trek with a laptop?
>>2864562>muh brandnameYou can get a large backpack for less than $10 in Third World countries.
>>2865046Nobody wants a chinese piece of shit that falls apart in a couple days. Certain brands are proven durable and long lasting, and have ideal layouts.Go ahead and reply with your cope now.
This particular bag is a reddit favorite but it's actually fairly decent. It's within size regulations of most airlines for a carry on which is its main selling point while still having most the niceties expected of a proper trekking bag like a hip belt and a frame. Its only real weakness is the awful bottle pockets which are too small and poorly positioned (on the back and not the side of the bag so the weight is leveraged and feels worse than it should).
>>2865049Almost all bags are made in China including those from high end brands. And some Chinese brands are pretty high quality like Naturehike.
I haven't gone anywhere without two 80L suitcases ever since I got into my 30s. My tolerance for discomfort and inconvience keeps decreasing with age so by the time I'm 50 I'll probably be bringing 3 suitcases.
>>2865049You're the consoomerist coping with your acquisitive behavior. A marketer's perfect mark, you want to buy Brandname(TM) product simply because it's talked about a lot, and you hope this trend-following behavior will implicitly signal your normie status to chicks at hostels, thus increasing the likelihood of sexo.
>>2864562Yes its fine, its what I have. Get some packing cubes. Get a small stuff backpack for day trips and leave your big bag at the hostel.
