Hello, I currently have a 55 liter internal frame backpack and looking to get a bigger one, is this recommended for euro tripping?

Hi there. Europe sounds like a lot of fun! Here's the deal with this product as I see it. Good space, good comfort. Lots of pockets for your essentials. The problem as I see it is that there is no bottom zipper to get to the goodies you may store there. There is a mid range pocket that I suppose was made to take the place of the bottom entrance, but in my opinion is not as good. Again, good space and weight distribution for 2 week excursions, maybe a little more if clean clothes are not your priority. Hope this helps. Hit me up if you have any other questions.

Hi, It worked well for my two sons on a 10 day backpacking trip in New Mexico and on long trips. I have the Red Cloud and really liked it as well. The external pockets are great an easy to access. The belt, chest and back straps worked wonderfully. It is well made and quite durable. It should easily handle what you need it for. For transatlantic flights, I would recommend putting it in a large duffel bag to protect the straps and zipper etc.

if the bike has rear luggage rack, it could go there, if not, is going to use some space in the back seat i use it like that and i tie it to the seat. it goes firmly and secure. when my backpack is full its a bit of drag but i have it in full rare times. So for me very nice. The pack has two sizes it can grow up to acomodate more things. if your boyfriend is big and the dont have the luggage rack is going to be unconfortable.

I think you'll be fine with this pack. It wasn't very big. As for space available, I used it to hike Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs. I filled the bladder and still had room for a spare bottle, extra gloves, and snacks for the day.

Yes. It's a great pack but it's HUGE. I fell it's too big for everyday activities. Good for travel but some airlines will have check it in as it doesn't always overhead.

We have a L for the 75L backpack and it is spacious. So I expect the Small would be sufficient (unless you carry large stuff to the outside of your pack).

You have more than enough room in large pack. I don't havea smaller oneto compare it to. So if your going to carry a lot of stuff id say large is way to go.

I purchased this backpack for my son, he uses it for all his outdoor adventures (camping, hunting, etc) and also for school. I am not familiar with the backpack that you have but I can tell you that his backpack is 1400 cu.in / 23L. If you are looking for something bigger, Maxpedition has the Vulture-II 3-day backpack which has 2100 cu.in / 34L

Yes, it´s the right pack for you. With great capacity and confort when carrying lot of stuff in it, it has a hard cover in the contact area with your back that prevents any inconvenient when loading with things with different shapes that not necessary adapts the backpack.

I ride to work with my lap top all the time. I do zip it in a a foam sleave just in case. These panniers have enough room for me to go on three day bikepacks. If anything they may be a little large for daily commutes but thats much better than too small. I see other people concerned about rain on their lap top. They make zip lock bags the size you need and larger. I use them for my lap top and w hen backpacking, everthing goes in zip locks.

I use an M6 tank and this backpack, which I have, is actually larger than I need. However since I own it I'll use it. The back pack works well as a backpack since it fits well and frees up both hands.

Depends how minimalist you are going on this trip. I use the explorer4000 for anything longer than 3 days. The summit for me is really only good for day trips and climbing 14ers. If you are carrying an average size backpacking tent and sleeping bag I would definitely recommend getting a larger bag.

My sons used the Coyote 80 for Philmont which was a 10 day 80 mile backpacking trip, but their body frames are a fair bit smaller than yours. I also accompanied them and am comparable in size 6'0", 200lb and used the Kelty Red Cloud 90. It worked out great. You may also want to look at the Red Cloud 110.

Either rack will work. I would base my choice of rack on which BAG I was going to purchase. If you plan on buying a small(ish) bag, get the Tourist. If you're going to get a BIG bag (I suggest you do) the cheaper rack will be fine. Also take into consideration the weight you plan to carry. My thought process went like this.....The $ difference in the amount of money was small enough to go ahead and spring for the sturdier rack and the $ difference between the bags was also small enough to just go ahead and get the big one. I can always buy a smaller bag later. HTH.

All of the High Peak Backpacks have adjustable frames; however, this huge 75 liter pack will NOT fit you comfortably. At 5'1" I recommend the Luna 45+10. If you really need a huge pack, check this 75 liter Kelty: B004CX8JJA. Sincerely - Jerry

I bought a large and my pack is 80L. I think they only offered large when I bought mine though. My pack fits in the large with extra room. If you were looking for a more snug fit a medium might be the better option. I would just buy both and return the size you don't want after you try both of them out. Good luck

This bag is rather large & bulky. I would not ride with it as a shoulder bag. If you don't want to put a rack on your bike you can get a back pack and roll your clothing up then place it inside. Some manufacturers offer a full size backpack that has a hydration bladder in it. CamelBak offers 2 of them available on Amazon: 1) Octane, 2) Motherlode. The Motherlode is the larger one.
