Farpoint Fairview

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 fully loaded for longer distances, up stairs, etc. It’s very resili

Not sure how much you're planning to pay for the Deuter, but the osprey farpoint/fairview 40 has an adjustable back that allows it to work for people with lots of different body types. The Deuter has a good harness system but not adjustable, which means it either works for your body or doesn't. With

Just answered this on another post so will copy my answer here: Check out Osprey farpoint/fairview 40L.

The FarPoint 55 will count as 2 bags for Delta (USA): 40L qualifies as carry-on, and the 15L as a personal item. The 15L is actually smaller than would be permitted as a personal item, so you are giving up a bit of packing room if that is important - it worked fine for us, traveling as a couple (wif

Any firsthand comparisons on carry comfort in heat/humidity between Tortuga 30L / Osprey Farpoint/Fairview 40 / Tom Bihn Techonaut 30 Besides Farpoint it's by proxy of using similar backpacks, but - Farpoint ostensibly has far more comfortable carry system that the other two by simple virtue of usin

I switched to a Tortuga Travel Backpack 40L about two years ago , it’s been on 10+ trips and still looks new. Fits overhead on most airlines and even under the seat if it’s not packed full. The big difference vs. a regular backpack is the clamshell opening and how it packs like a suitcase. Way easie

The Osprey FarPoint / FairView (womens) 40L packs seem a good choice for travel - they fit Delta's "Carry-on" sizing (would want to check other airlines...), and have a built-in (stowable) cover for the harness / hip belt in case they get gate checked. We found them comfortable to carry across airpo

What about a ~25l backpack (personal item) and carry-on roller? I’d lean toward the backpacks myself, but have done the other as well. If you underpack with just a few transitional clothes (2 long sleeves, 2 pants, one fleece or cardigan) so that you have some space, you can fill any gaps while trav

If their sale on the previous versions is still on, it would be hard to beat the FarPoint (men) or FairView (women) at the 'close-out' price points. Even at the higher price (for the new versions) they still look competitive as a combination travel / day hiking bag, having nice shoulder straps, load

My son has used the Osprey 40L Farpoint (the "boy" version of the Fairview) with the attachable 15L Osprey Farpoint /Fairview Travel Daypack. The 40L bag is his carry on and he detaches the Daypack to use as his personal item on the plane. The Daypack is also a great ... um ... day pack. The duo att
