If you mean as checked luggage then none of that will be a problem.
If you mean as carry-on, the largest bag you can take would be about the size of a small backpack.
Not all airlines have the same baggage policies, but this is typical:

Typically cabin baggage is limited to
56×36x23cm (22×14x9 in) in size for most airlines
For check in baggage the size is limited to
First: 32kg (70lbs)
Business: 32kg (70lbs)
Economy: 23kg (50lbs)
Total dimensions of each piece must not exceed 158cm (62in)
Sporting equipment
There is no additional allowance for sporting equipment; it can still be carried as part of your free checked baggage allowance, plus an additional odd-size charge if applicable. If sporting equipment is carried in addition to your free checked baggage allowance, you will need to pay extra baggage charges.
An additional odd-size charge of USD75 will be levied for each of the following sporting equipment:
Anything bigger than about 30 liters you’re going to have trouble. I don’t know what kind of external inches or whatever that is because packs are measured in cubic liters. I generally fine my 33 liter pack is sufficient for a few nights of hiking.
