Best Carry on Luggage in 2026

I love my Osprey Fairview/Farpoint 55. Best carry on bags ever. Walking through the airport hands-free is a fantastic experience. Also, most airlines never force check backpacks.

What’s the best travel backpack you’ve actually used and loved?

For flying, like the Osprey Farpoint (or Fairview - which my wife has). Shoulder straps, load lifters, and hip belts make them comfortable to carry across an airport or around town, and they have a zippered cover that keeps the harness bits under wraps when / if you simply want to carry the bags by

(need advice) Osprey Farpoint 40 vs Kestrel 38

The Farpoint is a travel pack. It is absolutely the wrong type of backpack for the Camino. I strongly advise against using it. Go with the Kestrel or explore other backpacks made for camping while walking distances ie backpacking backpacks. Look at the Osprey Exos 38 or something else by Osprey or G

Osprey Farpoint Owners - what do YOU use these loops for?

10/9/25 edit - I used this on our two week multi location trip and it worked very well! The clips to hold the 15l daypack on the front worked really well to balance the load on my shoulders and free up my hands to help family with their bags up and down stairs and on and off the train. My son got on

Travel backpack - clamshell opening

If you want light get a Patagonia Black Hole 32. Clamshell bags are better for directly packing folded or rolled clothing. I use packing cubes and pouches that make the opening style insignificant. There are only 8 “objects” in my bag and each nicely zipped up, so can unload and reload even a roll t

I'm looking for a backpack that becomes two backpacks

I love the farpoint! Have had and used the farpoint 55 for 10 years and it’s super versatile. Valuables in the daypack and I can take it on or off depending on the situation, like main bag in cabin overhead storage and day pack with me at the seat. The connecting zipper broke on the daypack but I’m

Backpacking with two backpacks?

I use an osprey farpoint 55 for everything at this point. Should work for what you’re doing. Kind of the Toyota Camry of backpacks, nothing fancy but does 95% of what you need and won’t die

Backpack or Suitcase for month China trip

I used a 55L Osprey farpoint which is essentially a 40L + 15L for an entire month of travel. It was great in SEA because a lot of commute was with motorbikes and a suitcase would not be convenient. The backpack is enough for 1.5 weeks of clothes and I would do laundry in hotels. I'd also buy clothes

Bag Finder Megathread - 27 October 2025

I think to some degree you are expecting too much from a single bag setup with all of those possibilities. Overall my comments would be: Osprey Farpoint 40 (presumably that's the bag you mean?) is an excellent all rounder bag for travel. Realistically its most notable downside is that it is too big
