Osprey Packs Aura 50 Backpack - Women's - 2800-3200cu in
Love it for Tropical Travel

Ranked #82 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)

My husband and I have been carrying the his (atmos 50) and hers (aura 50) of this pack on our multi-month long journey through SE Asia and we love them. They're well designed for weight distribution and organization and the air strip is perfect for the super hot weather, so they're very comfortable. We considered many different sizes and brands and finally settled on this one, I'm glad we did. It's the perfect size for long distance travel. We're not gear heads and we didn't bring along camping equipment (who needs it when a room is just $4/night and there's not many safe places to camp anyway), but we have everything we need for life over a few months packed inside with plenty of room for souvenirs. Most people we see have bigger packs and they look tired and silly carrying way more than they need. If you're considering this pack for tropical travel, it's perfect. You don't need any bigger.
