As the title suggests, I'm looking for to pick up a new backpack for travel. I am willing to pay for quality, and am not interested in something that's going to fall apart on me.

There are so many outdoor shops here that stock them. I can't work out where to go or what's best. Obviously, there's The North Face, etc.

I'm after something in the 40-60 L range. ALSO: I'm in Busan, so places like Namdaemun are a no-go.

Have you bought one recently? Do you have an opinion even if you haven't? I want to hear it (preferably with a reason WHY).

Thanks in Advance!

Bought a 40L Columbia backpack from a hiking shop about 3 years ago. It has been to 6 different countries, through rain, snow, etc. Upon inspection barely a stitch has come loose. 5 star rating from yours truly.

Berghaus in Rodeo street (Outlet area), just down the road from jung-Dong station. Also there is a Columbia shop next door.

A friend of mine recently bought a backpack on Gmarket
(http://global.gmarket.co.kr/). I don't know what he paid, but he said it was very reasonable, and the quality appeared good.
