Travel Bags

The terms rucksack, backpack and travelpack are often interchangeable.  However, if you are planning a trip away for a month or more a travelpack is the most useful piece of luggage. 

Whether you are inter-railing round Europe or travelling to the Far East or Australasia, choose a good quality travelpack.  A well-chosen travelpack can take much of the hassle out of travelling.  Experienced travellers will tell you a travel pack that combines packing convenience, carrying comfort and versatility can make all the difference when you are on the road.

Caribee have been working with the worlds most experienced travellers for over 50 years.  Therefore, you can be sure you are getting the latest styles, lightweight materials, strong, comfortable well-designed travelpacks that won’t let you down.

Travelpacks typically come in 60 litres, 70 litres and 80 litres.  Don’t be tempted to buy a travelpack that is too big for your needs as you will only end up taking more than is absolutely necessary for your journey, adding to the weight and slowing you down.  Most rucksacks have a detachable daypack for shorter trips.  This allows you to leave the main pack in your hotel or hostel whilst sightseeing during the day.  Many packs have expandable sections adding 10 litres of space.

Make sure your travelpack has a good quality harness that is fully adjustable.  Compression straps on the outside of your pack allows you to squeeze a bulky bag down to a smaller size.
