Women who’ve backpacked long-term, what actually frustrates you about backpacks?
My biggest frustration is that they can be unwieldy if you’re smaller than average. I try not to overpack my 40L Osprey Fairview bag and have it adjusted properly, but I still feel like I’m going to tip over at any moment. I actually wish I had gotten one designed for hiking because they feel better

If you rock a backpack, much does it usually weigh?
Yeah, I highly recommend strength training as well. I'm 52 and only started lifting about ten years ago and it's such a game changer. I'm lucky that the Osprey Fairview 40 fits me like a glove. I've worn it plus the 15l day pack extension plus a small crossbody sling with 15+kg total for miles inclu

Test Pack for Weekend Trip in Osprey 26 + 6 Daylite
I found the 26+6 super uncomfortable but enough people here like it that I suppose I'm an outlier. FWIW, my hiking pack is an Osprey Talon 22 and my carryon pack is a Fairview 40 (both of which are fine). YMMV

Women who’ve backpacked long-term, what actually frustrates you about backpacks?
I’ve been travelling full time with a backpack only for over 2 years. I have a 40-litre Osprey Fairview pack. It opens like a clamshell so you can unzip it completely. I roll everything and basically have two layers of rolls down the middle, with my extra stuff along the sides. BUT! I don’t bring ha

Help me choose
The Osprey Fairview 40 is the women’s version. The adjustable torso length will help insure a good fit and best use of the laid bearing hip belt.

I havent measured, but the form of the backpack really matters. I have a 30L Mini MLC and a 40L Osprey Fairview--and when both are stuffed, the 40L is MUCH more comfortable because of the frame and lift loaders that the Mini MLC doesn't have. They make a difference! I actually don't use my hip belt

Need bag suggestions please!
The Osprey Fairview is 40 L and weighs 3.5, but with the hip belt, frame, and load lifters feels lighter than my Patagonia 30 MLC when fully packed. It's my go to if I'm going anywhere longer than a week, and I've even done Korea in January with it--keep in mind the bulk of winter wear!

How do I go ultra light on a 6 month trip
if you’re planning on flying between countries and not wanting to check a bag-be wary that most airlines have a 7kg weight limit for carry on items. if you’re not worried about checking a bag, ignore this. i (26f) currently have the osprey fairview 55 (it’s a 40L bag with a 15L daypack attached) tha

What’s the best travel backpack you’ve actually used and loved?
Just answered this on another post so will copy my answer here: Check out Osprey farpoint/fairview 40L. It’s a travel backpack so it also has a clamshell opening that’s easy to get stuff in/out of like a suitcase. The backpack straps are actually really comfortable so you can walk with your pack ful

Travel backpack that doubles as a hiking backpack
I recommend the Osprey Fairview 40 or REI Trail 40 and that’s more for a very complete packing list. I suggest those bags for the harness comfort. They have load transferring design to put 80% of the weight on your hips. They are women’s specific designs. Assuming you are female of course. With a mo
