Get adventure ready with a durable travel backpack

Looking for a new travel pack for your next domestic or international journey? Paddy Pallin has a huge range of high-quality backpacks for travel at excellent prices. A travel backpack is one of the most important items on any trip, so it’s critical to pick wisely! Whether you’re after a larger backpack or a small day pack for getting out and about, our range has it all.

What makes a great travel backpack?

There are a few components that make for a fantastic travel backpack. Your pack needs to be comfortable, particularly if you plan on hauling it around for long periods of time. So comfy shoulder straps, backing, and waist straps are a must. Space is also key - you need to be able to store all of your clothing and other items without the pack bursting at the seams. 

Durability is also an essential consideration, especially if you’re setting off on a backpacking trip that may last months, or more! There’s no doubt your travel pack will experience a few bumps and bruises, so it’s important that it can stand up to the expected wear and tear without breaking apart. You should also think about security features, so that your treasured possessions are safe while in transit.

Our collection of travel bags ticks all of these boxes and more, so you can get on with your adventure!

FAQs

What size travel pack do I need?

The size of your travel pack will depend how much gear you will be taking travelling. Travel packs range in size from small carry-on sized travel backpacks at 30L to hiking orientated travel packs at 75L. Depending on how well you can pack, you can easily fit one week of clothing into a 40L pack, which allows you the freedom to travel more lightly without being over encumbered and you will also be able to use it as carry-on sized luggage when flying. If you are travelling for a longer period of time or during winter and need warmer clothing, a higher capacity travel backpack may be required. Also, if you plan on hiking while travelling and will be bringing hiking gear, a higher capacity travel pack like the Osprey Fairview Trek hiking travel pack may be a better choice.

What brands of travel packs does Paddy Pallin stock?

At Paddy Pallin, we stock high quality travel packs from the top travel brands like Osprey, Patagonia and Cotopaxi. These travel brands produce exceptional travel packs which make them the perfect travel companion on all your overseas adventures. We stock a range of popular Osprey travel packs such as the Osprey Farpoint/Fairview, Porter and Fairpoint/Fairview Trek models. Our Osprey travel packs also come in women's sizes to ensure that the pack fits perfectly and is comfortable to wear. The Osprey travel pack range varies in capacity from carry-on compliant volumes of 30L to 75L travel packs designed for longer trips.

Osprey’s Farpoint Trek and Fairview Trek are the perfect travel pack if you plan on hiking while travelling. Perfect for hiking, this hybrid travel pack allows you to have all the useful features in a travel pack but with the support and capacity of a traditional hiking pack. We also stock travel packs from the travel brand Cotopaxi who produce high quality carry-on compliant travel packs, perfect for overseas travel. The Cotopaxi Allpa 35L travel pack is feature rich with a comfortable harness system, suitcase style opening and excellent organisation making them the ideal travel pack for overseas and domestic travel. Patagonia’s comfortable and durable travel packs are also available at Paddy Pallin. The Patagonia Black Hole MLC 45L is a versatile pack for world travel as you can use it as a backpack, a shoulder bag or a duffel, and it also provides excellent organisation while on the road.

Does Paddy Pallin stock carry-on compliant travel packs?

Yes! At Paddy Pallin we stock several carry-on sized travel packs which will comply with most airline restrictions. While you should always check the carry-on restrictions for your specific airline as each airline can vary, most Australian airlines including Jetstar, Qantas and Virgin have a carry-on bag size limit of 56 cm x 36 cm x 23 cm. We have several travel packs which comply with these carry-on guidelines from Osprey and Cotopaxi. The Osprey Farpoint and Osprey Fairview are excellent carry-on sized travel perfect for one bag travel. These travel packs are some of the largest carry-on sized travel packs available, allowing you to have plenty of room for all your travel gear. The Cotopaxi 35L travel pack is also a great travel pack for carry-on only travel and provides plenty of space for overseas travel.

Do you sell waterproof travel packs?

Currently we do not stock waterproof travel packs , but we do stock plenty of accessories that will keep your valuables dry while travelling. A pack liner like the Osprey Ultralight Pack Liner is an excellent bit of gear to have inside your travel pack to keep all your travel gear dry. Dry sacks are also a great companion for your travels, as they will protect valuable items like electronics from getting wet. Rain covers can also keep your travel pack and contents dry if you are ever caught out in a storm when travelling. 

Can I use a hiking pack for travelling?

Yes! A hiking pack can definitely be used for travelling if it can fit all of your travel gear. However, a travel pack is usually preferable as they have more useful features that make living out of a pack much easier. One of the features often found in travel packs is a suitcase style, clam shell opening which makes packing and unpacking your travel pack a breeze. Travel packs are also more likely to be sized to comply with airline restrictions, unlike traditional hiking packs. Some travel packs also feature stowable straps and provide multiple carry options like a duffel-style carry. If you plan on hiking while travelling and need a pack for some hikes, the Osprey Farpoint Trek and Osprey Fairview Trek are excellent hybrid travel packs which have the much needed features of both a hiking and travel pack.

Should I use a travel backpack or wheeled luggage for travelling?

A travel backpack or wheeled luggage are both great options for travel but each performs better under certain circumstances. Travel backpacks are ideal because they give you greater mobility, allowing you to easily navigate uneven terrain and the freedom to jump on and off transport with ease which is common when travelling. If you plan on doing a traditional backpacking trip, a travel backpack is highly recommended for this. If you plan on bringing a lot of gear while travelling, wheeled luggage would be more suitable. Also, if you have any issues carrying weight on your back, wheeled luggage would be a more comfortable experience. If you want the best of both worlds, a hybrid luggage option like Osprey's Sojourn range might be a safe bet. These packs have backpack straps and wheels so that you can choose whichever is most convenient. Check out all our whole range of wheeled luggage available at Paddy Pallin here.
