Osprey Packs Xenon 70 Backpack - Women's - 3900-4300cu in
May 13, 2009
depends what you mean by backpacking, if you are just going from hostel to hostel as many do in oz i would go for something with a horseshoe zip that will let you open the bag up all the way and see all your stuff without unpacking it all. if you mean going walkabout and camping then this pack would be great.
