I’m backpacking on Europe for three weeks, does this look good for that? Or does it look like too much? I’m not doing any backcountry stuff, just need to have clothes, shoes, etc, so I’m wondering about a cheap, suitable backpack, and I was looking for the Blue Jansport Klamath 55, but now is out of stock, so this is the next one on size

~65L or so is a good size, I would absolutely get a couple compression bags for the trip too. Most importantly, don't over pack. Gear junkies want to bring something for every possible occasion. Try to keep it simple, you don't need a new shirt for every day, and you certainly don't need that many pants. That said, for my money, I would spend a few more bucks and go with the Osprey Kestrel that is on sale this week: http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Osprey-Packs-Kestrel-68-Backpack-4000-4200cu-in/OSP0185M.html
