Patagonia Light
What is a good traveling backpack?

I will be taking a trip to Europe this summer and I have been told by some friends (who travel a lot) that you should pack really light -like not much bigger than a backpack. So I was wondering if anyone knew of some good packs or brands. I do like patagonia and found this backpack, http://www.patagonia.com/web/us/product/product_focus.jsp?OPTION=PRODUCT_FOCUS_DISPLAY_HANDLER&style_color=49160-684&ws=true&patcatcode=WEB_SPECIALS&searchkeyrefferer=shop.jsp&encodedsearchkey=OPTION%3DESHOP%26S%3DSALE%26psDrilldown%3Dtrue%26PC%3DSPECIAL%26N%3D4294967289%2B30016611%2B30017327%26psPageNumber%3Dall, but I’m not sure If I could fit everything, I’ll be there for 17 days and need things for hot and mildly cold weather. What do you think?

I always get Kipling backpack, more fashionable & easy to spot!
