icon_question.gif Hi guys,

Am a regular lurker here but this is my first posting...I'll be going to Europe this August on a backpack trip for approximately 3 weeks..since my current backpack has seen better days I'm thinking of getting a new one for the trip.

Was wondering if anybody here can suggest a place where I can buy a good backpack at a reasonable price. Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks.

try to go for pertama complex.. lots of rucksack shops there... i recommend deuter backpack for you.. be prepared to fork out rm700+- for deuter rucksack.. tongue.gif just dont go for cheapo sub-rm200 rucksack.. they all sucks.. but if you managed to find nikko-brand or vango brand then go for it.. the best cheapo rucksack i've ever tried... both brands should somewhere between rm200-rm300...

happy travelling thumbup.gif

deuter quantum 55+10 comes with a daypack and a transporter cover which is very useful when checking in at the airport becoz the whole backpack can go into it, zip up and lock with padlock, doubles as a rain cover too. got mine at pertama complex for rm430. very comfy and not too big.

There's a store which sells backpacker gear on the top floor of The Curve, where all the sports supply stores are. Remember to pick up a Nalgene bottle while you're there!

Also looking for perfect backpack for short trip (3,4 days)
At least the backpack with lot of compartment in & out
also can put mineral bottle outside & lot of stuff inside

I already interested in Dicota Venture but the backpack doesn't look so convincing to me to buy it since the quality is so-so, the price is RM280
can fit also 15.4 lappie
any suggestions guys?
