Is 50 liters of backpack enough?

A 50L+ backpack is a great friend to those travelling for a few weeks. These bags are spacious and can accommodate a number of outfit changes before you ever have to visit a laundromat. But don't be tempted to fill your pack to its capacity before you've even left - remember to save space for souvenirs!

Size Matters (but Bigger Isn't Better) Like a few other things in life, size matters when it comes to choosing a backpack — but not in the way you might think. Based on many years of dragging excessively large backpacks around the world, I have to say bigger is not better. You do not need an 80 or 90 litre pack.

If you will potentially need that extra capacity on a future trip, then definitely get the 75L pack. If you're doing it just because it doesn't seem like much extra weight, even if you don't expect to ever need it, I would go for the 65L pack. That would also curb the temptation to overpack.

But bags larger than 65L are way too big for travel, even on extended trips. If you'll be traveling for more than a week or two, you'll need to do laundry anyway. You can't—or at least shouldn't—try to carry a month's worth of dirty clothes. Between these two extremes is the sweet spot of backpack sizes.
