Backpack for travel/carr on too
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

Advice for a big pack for homelessness/temporary displacement/no vehicle
If you really, truly, need it to be 100% waterproof, I'd go for 40-50L dry bag backpack, there's plenty out there. They're intended for raft/kayak camping, but I've seen them used heavily by boat crews and people that work out in the elements. If comfort matters more, there's plenty of 50-70L backpa

Big carry-on backpacks - how critical is a hip belt?
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

Travelling Backpack recommendations
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

3 week trip to Peru, needing a 2nd bag.
I love Osprey’s modular systems like farpoint/fairview. The versatility of being able to zip them up and check it as a larger piece or carry it on as a carry-on/hand luggage separately is great. Also for situations like yours you can leave the smaller one for overnight trips or leave the larger one

One Bag with Kids??
If a lot of your daughter’s kit is spread among other bags then you can pull it off! But that means bigger bags than your mid-sized Allpa. Bigger bags are more comfortable with a waist belt to carry the load, and you can add a monkey bag for food… like the Osprey Farpoint/Fairview 55, which is a 40L

How are people flying with daypacks for inn-to-inn hikes (Kerry/Beara Way style trips)?
One trip we packed our Deuter 50+10 into a large duffle style bag we bought from Ross. Then we donated the duffle. We ended up switching to the Osprey Farpoint/Fairview and can be carried on.

Best travel backpack for someone tired of checking bags and paying fees
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

first time international travel
Osprey Farpoint/Fairview 40 is very usable and nicely fits the maximum size for a carryon bag.
