This bag is worth every penny you will spend. Let me begin by saying this is the perfect size for carry on in regional/business/commercial aircraft. I was able to fit this easily into overheads on a CRJ-900, -700, EMB 145, 777LR, and A340-600.I took this bag for one week to Germany and Poland. I also checked a bag because this was for a work trip, so in this bag i carried the following items and still had space to spare. This bag was perfect for quick switch between travel backpack and office satchel. It was able to hold very large bottles of water. The extra straps inside to tighten down and on the outside made it easier to reduce the bag profile. If you watch the youtube videos on this please note it''s what they say it is. Your success will come on how you organize it. With that being said, there are not a lot of pockets etc.. In the second picket there is a zipper mesh pocket, and a tablet/laptop sleeve. However if you have pack like i listed below it would be wise to have ziploc bags for different groups of items. It helps keep it organized. Now for mobility. I pulled two hail Mary runs on my return trip home. And when i say runs, i mean full sprint dodging babies and the elderly - jumping luggage and chairs. In both Munich and Chicago i literally grabbed the shoulder straps, the chest strap, and waist strap and pulled them tight. And it was a flawless run, with no fear of the bag falling off or interfering with my ability to run. 1) Go pro hero 4, case, selfie stick 2) Portable charger 3) laptop 15.5 inch, charger, and six misc charging cords 4) two pairs of jeans, a pull over light sweatshirt, two shirts, two pairs of socks, and two undergarments 5) all pertinent travel documents 6) Box of Belvita snacks 7) Ziploc bag of medicine/vitamins 210 people found this helpful James NealVerified Purchase

I read about this bag on a couple travel blogs where it received high praise. I figured it was worth a shot since it was on sale on Amazon with a free Prime return. First Impressions: My first surprise was at how small it was coming out of the box, and I was unsure how much it would actually fit because of the oblong shell shape. I had read that it is undersized for the carry-on limits for airplane travel - even on international flights, where the dimension restrictions are even smaller - but it still seemed too small. The second surprise came when I did the test pack and it just kept swallowing everything I had planned on packing. I figured I would have to buy compression bags to make this thing work, but they were unnecessary. The shape is a little strange, but once I figured out the best way to balance my bulky items (shoes, toiletry kit, etc), I actually opened up more space than I needed. After playing with all the straps and carrying configurations, I decided to keep it. In Use: This bag did everything I needed it to do on a two week trip to Italy. It easily slipped into the overhead compartment on all my flights, and it even fit in the tiny luggage racks above the seats on all the trains. The backpack straps and waist band adjusted easily to balance the weight. It was more comfortable to wear it when we were waiting in line at airports and train stations than to take it off and set it down. When we got to our gates and terminals, the straps quickly zip into their compartment, and the single shoulder strap clips in even faster. The single shoulder strap isn''t comfortable for longer durations, but was perfect for the short amount of time while boarding/disembarking, and makes the bag easy to navigate those tight space (I hate when people carry backpacks or purses behind them and slap everyone down the aisle). The compression straps do a great job not only keeping everything in place, but also adding a layer of security. The exterior straps are mounted by another layer of ripstop fabric that encases all the zippers, making them difficult to locate and access while strapped down tightly. This costs you a couple seconds and extra effort if you need to get into the bag while you''re on the go, but there is no way for someone to easily get into the bag while out of sight on your back without you knowing. The zippers are paired, so you can lock them with a small padlock if that''s your thing. Summary: Osprey hit the mark when they designed this bag. If you like to travel light and agile, you will enjoy this bag. It won''t top the ease and accessibility of a rolling suitcase in an airport, but it''s close. For someone who was traveling to remote areas and old cities, having everything off the ground was much easier 99% of the time (verified after watching my friend pull his suitcase half a mile, uphill, on cobblestones). I paired my Farpoint 40 with a much smaller ripstop bag (for easy under seat access on flights/trains and short excursions away from our airBnBs) and it was perfect: Gonex Ultra Lightweight Packable Backpack Hiking Daypack Handy Foldable Camping Outdoor Travel Cycling Backpacking(Red) If I didn''t need it I could easily stuff it into my larger bag. Both pictured here while waiting for my wife as she shopped for a purse in the Venice airport. The comfort and utility were worth looking like a doofus. 85 people found this helpful  Pit Bull MomVerified Purchase

After much research, I purchased three of these, two black and one red, all small/medium, for a recent 17 day trip to Europe. My husband and I used the black ones and my fifteen year old daughter used the red one. They worked beautifully! We each took four outfits, plus the ones we wore, so five total, two pairs of shoes, plus toiletries (my daughter took her full size flat iron), hoodies/jackets, and raincoats. While my daughter and I each had a separate (Travelon) bag, my husband put his electronics (iTouch, 10" Kindle Fire) in his backpack. I also put a full size heavy duty plastic zip top file folder in mine with all of our travel documents, tickets, etc. (in the laptop sleeve). We did very little shopping as that''s not our thing, but my daughter did pick up a pair of high tops in Paris and had no problem bringing them home.We moved from cooler weather in Paris and Salzburg to warmer weather in Venice and Rome, necessitating a wide ranging wardrobe. Using Eagle Creek packing cubes, I was able to pack the following in my pack: a pair of jeans, a medium length skirt, two knee length skirts, a pair of gym weight capris, four tees, a pair of PJs, five pairs of underwear, one bra, two pairs of socks, a car coat length heavy hooded LL Bean raincoat, a pair of Toms, two toiletry bags (a TSA one and another), a small make up bag, a bag with ten medication bottles, a large heavy plastic zip top envelope with all travel documents and tickets, and a small bag of misc necessities (small USB cords, small caribiners, etc.). The bag weighed about 15 lbs packed and I had plenty of room left. On the return trip, I easily found room for a very well bubble wrapped small ceramic gift item, a t-shirt, and a boxed shot glass. I could certainly have brought more home. My six foot tall husband packed, using cubes, a pair of jeans, three pairs of cargo shorts, PJ pants, four tees, underwear, undershirts, a raincoat, a pair of shoes, his dopp kit + TSA bag, Kindle, iTouch, charging cords, plug adapter kit, and had room to spare. His packed bag weighed 17 lbs. Converting these bags from backpacks to duffles, to take on and off planes and some trains, was a breeze. The back panel unzips and rolls down, securing with Velcro at the bottom and releasing the straps. In reverse, just separate the Velcro, tuck the straps and zip up. The process is very fast and very easy and we found the bags easy to carry with the handles or the messenger bag strap. A key for me is that I also found that the messenger strap didn''t get in the way when I was using the bag as a backpack, a plus since I didn''t want to hassle with unclipping it and putting it back. We found these to be very comfortable. My stubborn fifteen year old whined about hers until she let her Dad adjust her straps and convince her to use her sternum strap and hip belt. Then she also found it comfortable! I won''t pretend we used them every day, though. We carried them about every four days, from apartments through Metro stations, onto trains, and walking to apartments. We also carried them in airports and transporting to and fro. It was absolutely enough to get a sense of how they feel, but not a sense of their durability, though I expect they''d do very well. We were on Air Canada the whole way to and from Europe and had no problem carrying these on. I would recommend these packs without reservation. In retrospect, my husband would have gone with the next size up. He had no problems at all with the small/medium as far as packing it, but thinks he might have preferred the feel of the larger pack on his back. He has used this pack on two other trips and been happy with it both of those times, as well. We purchased the Osprey Porter 30 with the attached Daylite pack for my twelve year old and I''ll post reviews for those, too. 341 people found this helpful  KirbyVerified Purchase

I recently lost the travel pack I had been using for years. I took this as a chance to "get one of those cool Osprey packs I see all the time!"I ordered it along with a couple competitors: Toturga Setout 45L AZ Pro 40L Inateck 40L The Osprey''s zipper/flap design quickly became a serious hassle and very annoying when interacting with the bag. I feels to me like this bag is designed for situations where you pack everything up in the beginning, cinch everything down into a well-contained traveling bundle and then you don''t touch the contents again until you arrive at your destination and then explode everything all at once. If that is what you are looking for, then this bag will work for you. But for me, I need my backpack to be more versatile than that. I need some pockets that are easily accessible while walking around town and maybe some light organizational system built into the bag. The Osprey lacks that. I think there was one externally accessible pocket and it was really small and struggled against the cinch straps. I found the waist belt to be underwhelming. I don''t recall seeing any storage pouches or zippers on the belt, which seemed like a massive oversight to me. Theoretically I could add my own with some after-market contraption, but I shouldn''t need to do that after paying the sticker price for this bag. In comparison, both the Tortuga and AZ Pro came with storage at the hip. (And the AZ pro was under $50) Another thing to note is the laptop storage. I personally consider it a disaster. Instead of the laptop sleeve being closest to the back, where you get the extra protection from the internal frame AND the area of the backpack most likely to stay flat, the Osprey puts the laptop sleeve farthest away from the back, so as soon as you pack up all your clothing and whatever, the pack will have a rounded shape, constantly trying to flex the laptop sleeve to conform. Just think about every time you have seen this back in a photo or real life... it is always depicted as being kind of bean-shaped. And you are telling me I am going to strap my expensive laptop to the outer edge of that bean? No thank you. As if that wasn''t bad enough... think about how you behave with a pack after a long day of walking. I don''t know about you, but I tend to 1) unclip waist and sternum straps, 2) pull the shoulder strap off one side 3) swing the pack from the remaining shoulder strap into some "landing zone". Maybe a bed or chair, sometimes the floor, sometime (rarely) I pivot it far enough around that I can catch the hanging loop at the top and then I lower it from there. But lets be real: it is very common to swing the full-loaded pack around until it crashes onto the bed/chair so that we can allow ourselves to crash into the bed/chair immediately afterwards. And with this Osprey that means all that crashing force is going to fall directly on the laptop MOST of the time. If somebody gave me one of these packs for free and asked me to use for a real-world trip (are you listening Osprey? 🤣) I would make sure that I acquired a 2nd bag with better laptop design and I would only use this bag for soft-goods. For the record, I decide to keep the Tortuga as my main large bag, the Inantek will become my carry-on bag (with excellent storage for laptop) and I''m keeping the AZ Pro simply because it is has incredible features for an under-$50 backpack. I will probably use it for light hiking and keep the other two for the digital nomad life. 12 people found this helpful  NicoleVerified Purchase

I am a 5''3" woman who travels a lot and likes to travel light. I was looking for a carry-on sized backpack that was comfortable to carry, easy to pack/unpack, and small enough to fit easily in overhead bins. After a lot of research, I decided that Osprey was the way to go. I tried the following Osprey bags:1) Osprey Packs Porter 46 Travel Backpack, Mineral Teal, One Size 2) Osprey Packs Farpoint 40 Travel Backpack, Volcanic Grey, Small/Medium 3) Osprey Packs Fairview 40 Travel Backpack, Rainforest Green, Small/Medium I initially bought the Porter and the Farpoint to do a side-by-side comparison, because they were priced comparably on Amazon (~$135 for each). To test, I loaded each one with a "full load" of mixed items, books, clothing, etc. I then donned the backpacks, adjusted the straps, and proceeded to walk around my bedroom a few turns. I was able to eliminate the Porter as a contender pretty quickly by doing this test. I found that the Porter did not have the internal support for significant weight. When fully loaded, the plastic backboard "buckled" and pressed against my lower back in an uncomfortable way. So I returned in the Porter. One note is that I did like the internal design of the Porter better, but I just couldn''t justify keeping it when it was so uncomfortable to carry. Around this time, the Fairview went on sale, and I was able to snag it for a mere $120 (~$40 cheaper than it is currently listed on Amazon). I purchased the Fairview and proceeded to perform the same load test to compare it to the Farpoint. This was a more difficult decision, as the Fairview and Farpoint are almost identical. But I found the Fairview adjusted a little easier to my small frame and the hip belt sat a little more comfortably. This mirrored what I had read in reviews, so eventually I decided to return the Farpoint and keep the Fairview. 20 people found this helpful  Jason JacksonVerified Purchase

I recently replaced my old travel pack with this, and couldn''t be happier. Here are a few of the features that worked well for me:* Carry-on size fit well in the planes we flew, except puddle jumpers here in rural US. The straps all hide away in a really nicely designed stow cover for these cases. There is a convenient handle on the side to carry like a duffel, too. * I really like the design of the pockets on this pack. It has a slightly-padded laptop pouch, compression straps, and a couple of outer pockets plus mesh. I packed my regular clothes, running clothes, and some extra layers for a week in Paris in February and didn''t do any laundry. If anything I overpacked, and this bag handled it well. * This bag has proper, rigid support. It was comfortable to carry on my bag traversing airports, waiting in customs and security lines, etc. * The Daylite bag is a great companion for this. I bought both. I have previous had warranty work done on an Osprey hiking bag that had a closure strap simply worn out from frequent use. They fixed it, no questions asked, and sent me stickers and candy with the repaired bag. Their customer service is top notch, easy to contact, and has a personal touch. 36 people found this helpful Ed ArlingtonVerified Purchase

I purchased this bag for a month long trip in Asia after reading a ton of reviews about how great it was. I got the eagle creek 3 pack organizers to add to it as well. If I could do it over again, I''d either get a bigger version of the pack, or just use regular luggage all together. Truth of the matter is, most of the Asian airlines let you check a free bag, and it''s not worth it to me to lug around 20 pounds in a backpack just to be minimal. The bag got pretty heavy and you''ll definitely want to use the hip strap, or your back will hurt. It''s not big enough for you to travel abroad and buy new clothes or shoes and add to the bag. I had to get some extra clothes and a pair of loafers, and it was overkill. It made me wish that I had purchased the 55L or even the 70L.I packed extra clothes because I wasn''t sure how often I''d get to do laundry. Some of the hotels we stayed at were super expensive to do laundry. Do you really want to spend your holiday time doing laundry? I wanted to minimize that so we could relax and enjoy the trip. I''m keeping the bag because it''s perfect for a weekend trip, or if you have easy access to laundry. A weekend ski trip, or going home for the holidays, it''s perfect. On our next trip I plan to bring a checked bag and use this backpack as an addition. It''s great quality, and I''d recommend it. Just be aware of the size and length of your trip etc. Enjoy! 15 people found this helpful  KayVerified Purchase
