What size luggage bag for my brother?
Discussion
It's my brother's birthday soon and he's going to Australia towards the end of the year to work for at least a year or 2.
I thought a decent luggage bag would be a good gift.
So far I've found these which I like, but I'm not sure what size? around 70 odd litres or 110?

Any recommendations at all? Thank you.

I've just bought the Ayachcucucucu or what ever it is. I really wanted to get the 100L mountain equipment as the quality is really good and i have one of their 40L duffles which has held up really well on the back of a motorbike. The handle quality seems pretty poor though and so I opted for the Ayhchchchususu. The bag isn't quite as good but the handle seems a lot stronger and that's always the weak point on these sort of bags I think.
That said, neither of them have internal frames so are prone to falling over when left alone in the vertical position. The AYayayhshshsh has a slightly better foot to it which I think will hold it up better, but they'll both need to be pretty full to stand up.

I swear by PLCE bergens not sure how that would fit your brother though.
120+ litres is its size, a big bag doesn't have to be filled up, but gives room to play with.

Cheers for inputs. I don't think he'll be traveling around much. He already went to Aus a couple of years back so he's going out there to work in Sydney predominantly. I think his baggage allowance is an odd sounding 32kgs (not sure if that can be over 2 bags or not?).
In the end I went for the Osprey Shuttle 80L bag.

It had really good reviews, I just hope he likes it.

Who is he flying?Usually it is:
1 x 23kg for discounted Economy
2 x 23kg for full fare Economy and Economy Plus
3 x 32kg Business
If he high level frequent flyer status he will get more with some airlines (BA give 2 x 32kg even on a discounted economy ticket for Silver and up)
