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.

70 litres isn't very big. I'd probably go bigger.

Cotswolds are on quidco so 6% cash back if you buy through them just so you know
Cheers mate, noted about Cotswolds. smile

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. smile

Bag arrived today from wiggle. So came quickly!

Had a quick look over the bag and I'm pretty impressed. If anyone's interested it was 120 quid delivered and from first impressions I think I'll pick one up myselfsmile
