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.

Since I bought this backpack it has given me lots of pleasure in using it. And I reckon that if one were to pack properly and only essential items, it should be good enough for a 4 week trip......................

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.

Main compartment is 50 liters when all the tension straps are expanded...the external pockets add many liters of additional space for quick access items like toiletries, first aid and food. Great bag that was quite well thought out! The only thing I would change about this pack would be the suspension (more airflow please) and build in a rain-cover from the bottom.. but for my single day to single overnight backpack trips (bivy sack, sleeping bag compressed, dualist cookware set with windpro stove, fuelcanister, food, water, clothes, first aid, fire-starting stuff, lights, toiletries) or just my climbing gear, (shoes, runners, harness, 1 x 60 meter rope, assorted trad gear/quickdraws/beaners and lockers, a few clothes, water, food/snacks, first aid, toiletries) this is my go to bag. It is durable enough for my climbing trips but still light enough for day trips and overnighters. For longer trips of 5-10 days I go up to 65 liters and for multi-week/month adventures I carry 85 liters. Hope that helps.

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.

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.

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 didn't have any problems but I did most of my travel in South America. Also it depends on how full you have the backpack portion.

i have a Titon 65 internal frame and I think i have this same sleeping bag. it fits-only fits the bag-in the lower compartment of the back pack. I stuff it in as opposed to roll it up and then try to put it in the compartment of my Titon backpack. i haven't used the bag for sleeping yet so i can't talk about the bag's qualities.

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.

Big enough? Yes. Comfortable enough? Maybe. It would be for me, however I have upgraded from this pack after one trip. Sturdy enough? Yes, but pack in some duct tape wrapped around a plastic water bottle just in case you have to make a repair on the trip.

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 would not recommend this type of bag for road bikes if you plan to travel on a plane. Also im not sure if a 56 cm bike would fit.

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).

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.

Depends on what gear it could fit it. You might want the mares deluxe backpack tho. It's a little bigger

Go with the 20L. I bought the 10L and it's perfect for two people. If you need to make more space, attach a carabiner and hang your flip flops off that. Enjoy the back pack.
