Hi.

I had to remove the link as you are first time user of the forum and we simply want to avoid product placement... :)
But back to your questions:
It is definitely a good rucksack!

But it always depends on how long your trip is.
I recommend to have clothes (and everything else) for one week with you - as you can wash them in the hostels.

Don't have a too big rucksack with you, as every kilo you have more, you have to carry with you.

Some travel wit 30-40 litres, some with ~60litres ...

If you have an old backpack, fill it with clothes or some bottles of water (15kg) and wear it for one kilometre ... it's a good test to get a feeling for it.

Peter :)

Cheers Peter tried out carrying 15kg around the block and it was fine!

Also bought the bag today and tried it with 20kg its perfect!

...and do not forget to weigh it before you leave cuz it may turn out to be heavier than you are ;)
