Backpacks ?
I want to buy a backpack within the next two weeks. I am off to leh on 12th August. I stay in Delhi, India and we dont have outlets for Jansport here whose backpacks I have heard are great but costly too. Can anyone suggest how do i buy backpack here in India ? What all brands are there and how much would be the cost ? I dont want something obscenely expensive but i do something which will long last.
Also tell me the global backpack brands so that if some1 comes from US in the next two weeks then i can let them know about it. |

'Man Pac' are the best I think, very simple design. I have a 'Lowe Alpine' right now which is great, although has alot of straps that make it time consumming to secure. If you go to a specialist shop, they should be able to guide you to the one that fits you best and set it up for you, we are all different shapes and sizes. Just get what feels comfortable and has the features you require.
Happy trails.... |
