I'm looking to do some extensive international traveling with what could quite possibly be this pack. Thoughts? I think the capacity will serve as it's a scad larger than a pack I traveled with a couple of years ago. I didn't want to go too pricey to lessen the heart/wallet ache in the event the pack 'disappears', so thought this one might do it. Comfort and load capacity being major deciding factors. Thanks!!

Kimber, The Kelty Tioga has been around since the 60's & I believe it is one of their original products. You can't beat the price for such an comfortable, indestructible, & easy to organize backpack. It's size will allow you to carry everything you'll need for your extensive trip & since you won't be carrying all the food you normally would on a backpack, you'll have even more room. I personally own a Kelty Serac that is quite old now which still see's occasional use when a friend visits & shows up without any gear. I think this backpack would be a good choice for all your travels.
