Is 65L backpack too big for Europe?

Is 65L backpack too big for Europe? I recommend a backpack around 40L-50L. Personally, I wouldn't go over 65L, but some people like a bigger bag. You can always go smaller, but I wouldn't recommend anything smaller than 35L — unless you're into minimalist travel.

Most bags range from about 30L (1,800 cubic inches) all the way to 100L+ (6,000+ cubic inches). I recommend a backpack around 40L-50L. Personally, I wouldn't go over 65L, but some people like a bigger bag.

70L is definitely too big. I believe the 55L is a 40L + a 15L daypack. This will probably work, but double check the length, width, and height, and make sure none of those dimensions are larger than allowed for a carry on.

Trips of 5 days or more usually call for packs of 70 liters or more. These are also usually the preferred choice for winter treks lasting more than 1 night. (Larger packs can more comfortably accommodate extra clothing, a warmer sleeping bag and a 4-season tent, which typically includes extra poles.)

The design of the 70L is perfectly suited for airplane carry-on or check in, and the features of the 70L are perfect for any adventure once you arrive at your destination. Being able to compress the 70L allows you to use it as carry-on for all major airlines in the US and Canada.

Let's face it, most European airlines are pretty, pretty stingy when it comes to their carry on size restrictions. That's why we designed our Carry-on bag and Daily bag to comply with nearly all European carriers – as well as more generous American ones.

I recommend getting a backpacking style pack that is between 30-45L. I specify this size range so that your pack is small enough to be carried on a plane, or stowed away as train luggage, but still larger than your average backpack.

All bags from 30L-45L meet TSA carry-on regulations for all commercial flights. The 60L duffel meets TSA carry-on regulations for most commercial flights.

As far as a pack goes, I would try to stay in the 50-55 L range in packs. 60 liters is a lot of space, which means you might pack extra stuff (and extra weight) simply because you have the space to do so. I travel carry on only - about a 35l pack - have done for years.
