Your bag should neither be too big nor too small. You can get a back pain or you might topple, if it is too big and you will find it difficult to fit in all your travel gears, if it is too small. You can determine the size of your bag, depending on the length of your journey.
B) Water Resistant Material

For any backpack that you choose, this is a pre-requisite. You should find one that can endure a downpour although it is not necessary to find a 100% waterproof backpack.
Also, you should check that the material of the backpack is such that it dries soon, else the bag will get musty.
