Help, good backpacks don't fit on planes...
Osprey Farpoint 40. Wife and I have been traveling full-time with it and it’s never been refused as carry on including Ryanair and assorted discount-airline goblins. Pack weighs 1.5 kg. What is unique about this pack is that straps can be hidden, so it looks like a duffel bag After 10 years of daily

What are you people 30+ using as luggage for travel backpacking

I’m 54, have had 3 herniated discs, and love to travel, so I understand the back pain issue. I’d skip the wheels because that will just add weight and discomfort. I think that m

Best travel carry on backpack?

You can easily travel through three seasons with the Farpoint 40 and have lots of room leftover and still be way under 12kg. If you can't handle that then consider working out a bit to increase your torso

Yet another "what bag should I buy," 35L edition
As a shorter/petite lady, I ended up having to compromise on the suitcase-style opened and ended up with a traditional top loader. So many people love the Allpa 35 but it did not work for me.

What’s the one bag you didn’t regret buying after real travel?
Osprey Farpoint 40 for the adjustable torso length and load transferring harness that puts 80% of the weight on your hips. Good compression system. REI Trail 40 that comes in two torso sizes and load transferring and more trail friendly features like water bottle pockets and hip belt pockets. Patago

The Ultimate Backpack for every adventure in life
You could check out the Osprey Farpoint 40 (or the Fairview 40) which I and many others would consider as the gold standard for travels, light, versatile and has good weight distribution Otherwise you could also check on the Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L which is very sleek and would be great for
