Backpack suggestions
Travel packs usually die from blown zippers or shoulder seams. The fabric is almost never the thing that quits. For a couple weeks in Vietnam, 30 to 40 liters is the sweet spot. Big enough for clothes, small enough that you’re not hauling luggage on your back. Look for YKK #8 or #10 zippers, coil or Vislon. Anything thinner or off brand is what fails first. Shoulder straps need real bar tack stitching at the load points. If you see loose decorative stitching, it’s a fashion bag, not a travel bag. Body fabric in the 500 to 1000 denier nylon or Cordura range holds up. Polyester at this size stretches, sags, and wears through faster than people expect. A simple HDPE framesheet works better than flimsy wire rods or nothing at all. Keeps the load from collapsing on your spine. Secondhand is the right move with your budget. You can actually pull on the seams and check the hardware before buying. Osprey Farpoint or Fairview 40, or the Montane Torque 40, usually tick most of these boxes without getting too precious about things. Avoid the ultralight travel stuff using thin 210 denier fabric. Hikers love it, city abrasion destroys it. Same goes for bags covered in hidden pockets and fancy panels. Every extra seam is another place that rips. Simple bags with decent hardware last longest. Load it up before you commit.

Recommendations for Women's Waterproof Rain Coat & Over Trousers for Hot, Humid Summer Conditions?
love my Montane pertex jacket and pants. they’re as lightweight, packable, and breathable as it gets, but beware. anything that repels water is going to heat you up. where are you traveling and what’s the nature of your travel? i’ve been to the jungle a number of times, but i’ll only take that gear if im going to be spending a lot of time on those little metal boats…

I’ve used the Columbia Arcadia II Jacket which keeps you dry without feeling gross. For over-trousers, Montane Women’s Spirit Lite is a great option and fit well without being too clingy. Both pack up small, so they’re perfect for travel
