Rucksack with Wheels- Help!

    Hi guys,

    I have decided to purchase a ruck-sack (65-70 litres) with wheels for a long term trip to Europe because a. I wish to protect my back as much as possible by using the wheels and b. have the advantage of having back straps for the cobble stone streets of say Italy and for accommodation that do not have elevators!

    I've tried loads of shops in person and online and I cannot find one suitable. The ones that I do find are way too big or out of stock! Can any one recommend one of these bags (for a lady!) and where I could find it?

    Thanks
    HP

    Just be aware that if you are planning to put the rucksack on your back, the wheels are already going to be adding a lot more weight to it. There's a thread on it over on the lonely planet site about where to buy them online http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread.jspa?threadID=1737117

    I think I saw one recently in http://www.outdooradventurestore.ie/ Dublin and the Great Outdoors when I was buying my own new rucksack. Got a female specific one and I must say the difference it makes weight wise, in comparison to a standard rucksack, is something else
