size of backpack

[i_schneider]

i'm doing the cambodia & laos mekong trip. I have an 80L backpack but i think it might be too big. Any suggestions on a good size to take? 15 days long, and laundry services available. Thanks in advance.

Take nothing larger than a 60 litre. In brought a 45 litre backpack for one month traveling in that region and had plenty of room for souvenirs. You can buy things extremely cheap there if you need to.

thanks for the reply, i was thinking 60L too, so that's probably what i'll end up with!

I second that...I too take a 60L backpack regardless of how long my trip.

I've got a 55L + 15L detachable day bag that fits everything i need when i go away on extended travels.
