Farpoint 40

I don't know about the Forclaz but the Farpoint 40 is relatively heavy for its capacity and the carry on weight limit for most budget flights around SE Asia is 7kg. For this reason I don't use it anymore for SE Asia. I'm currently using an Osprey Talon 36 which I happened to already have.

Noch ein Tip, der kaum genannt wird. Die "typischen" Empfehlungen für Rucksäcke (z.B. Osprey farpoint 40), die meist genannt werden sind zu klobig und schwer. Der Farpoint wiegt z.B. 1.5kg während mein 30L Rucksack ca. 380g wiegt (Durston Wapta).

There are travel bags designed for hand carry luggage. Example is the osprey farpoint 40. The problem is that it's a bit heavy so it will eat a bit of your carry on luggage weight limit

Your stuff in Osprey Farpoint 40 may be too big and/or heavy for cabin luggage on some budget flights within SEA. I got caught out last month on an internal Thai flight with a 10kg OF40. They did weigh it and also watch you put it in the sizing box.
