I'm going to Chicago soon and I'm looking for a backpack that will fit all of my needs. I'm going to be there for an extended weekend so I want to be able to bring several days worth of clothes with me on the way to there.
I guess the easiest way is for you to go to a shop like REI or similar, ask them about your needs and your budget and they will help you find the perfect quality/price ratio compared to the size of bag that you want.
After all, the job of a salesperson is not solely to sell you something but to advise you on the best possible outcome for the customer. Therefore you should make a quick search about what the market has to offer and what you would like.
Also, one of the most important thing you should look for buying a packpack for traveling is the comfort and the security. Cause you don't want your stuff stolen ...
