I love backpacks that can pack a lot and aren't bulky... I've been using a pretty regular 20$ Billabong for years and it has suited me quite well for general purpose. Well built, carries quite a bit of stuff (I can take clothes for a weekend out, maybe a bit more and my techy stuff - laptop, chargers, camera). Previously I had a 30$ one from Puma, but it was more bulky and eventually "disintegrated" itself...

Although these look great, I don't think spending 54$ on a backpack is worth it, much less 250$... But I might be completely wrong, so I'm awaiting on your review Smiley

I purchased a backpack this week from a business that has taken BTC for a while now. The business is Tortuga packs.

I travel a lot and like to pack very light. I finally found a pack that has this in mind. Tortuga packs are just small enough to be a carry on bag but big enough that you don't need anything else. They convert from suitcase to pack and have a good selection of compartments. Best of all they have an easy intuitive checkout using BitPay as their payment processor. It even tracks your order on a map as it heads your way. If you like the idea of a suitcase/backpack hybrid then check them out! I'll be trying this out in Iceland in a week or two, I'll update this thread if it falls apart or something.
