I've been travelling with tow duffle bag most of the times. This time, I want to get a 65L backpack so it would be easier to go around less developed areas. After much research, to simply put it, the backpacks are ridiculously expensive. Most of them are more than $200, some bigger brands goes up to $300-400. I went to craiglist in hopes to find a second hand for a much better price. Turns out, craglist did not let me down! There was a lady selling a brand new Taiga bag for $80 (regular price $160). There are plenty of people selling their used backpack for a reasonable price. Make sure they have a photo available with product name and type so you can check online for the bag's details and reviews.
Bags
Again, plenty of travel bags are made well but at the same time, they are pricey. I went to urban outfitter for bargain searches. I needed a bag that is durable and can be backpack, messenger bag and shoulder bag. This Deena & Ozzy bucket bag on the left hand side matches the needs except its unknown durability (UO have good bags but many times it's not built to last). The bag was on sale's sale's sale which turned out to be $7 after tax. I got another very durable looking Herschel eighteen cordura fabric hip bag for $15 at the UO sale. It can be a shoulder bag as well so it'll probably be used as a day pack.
