Anyone have any Rucksack Recommendations?
I know that rucksacks are one of the items of equipment where getting the right fit is important, so I guess I'm looking for recommendations relating to manufacturers rather than specific models, although specific models would be useful in drawing up a short list.
I know that a rucksack isn't the best solution to carrying equipment, but for what I have in mind I think it's probably the best option. Looking for something to load all my gear into for a 1 or 2 week trip that involves me jumping on a plane, flying off to 'wherever', renting a bike for the duration of my stay and indulging in a spot of motorcycle camping. Because it will be a rented bike I can't guarantee being able to strap luggage to it, although obviously chance permitting the rucksack will get strapped to the bike rather than me for preference.
After experimenting with cardboard boxes I estimate I will need a 45L rucksack, although 40 would do if a camelbak could be used with it. I know that Kreiga make good gear, but the largest rucksack they do is 35L, and I'm not sure how secure strapping a US10 to it would be, especially when the kit is going through airline luggage check in !!
Thanks in advance.
