If you rock a backpack, much does it usually weigh?

Yeah, I highly recommend strength training as well. I'm 52 and only started lifting about ten years ago and it's such a game changer. I'm lucky that the Osprey Fairview 40 fits me like a glove. I've worn it plus the 15l day pack extension plus a small crossbody sling with 15+kg total for miles inclu

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

Women who’ve backpacked long-term, what actually frustrates you about backpacks?

I’ve been travelling full time with a backpack only for over 2 years. I have a 40-litre Osprey Fairview pack. It opens like a clamshell so you can unzip it completely. I roll everything and basically have two layers of rolls down the middle, with my extra stuff along the sides. BUT! I don’t bring ha

Please suggest Orthotic Sandals that fold flat & feel like a cloud to walk on

It sounds like you live these sandals. If space is too tight, maybe there are other things you could downsize instead? For me, I found keeping my bag's weight down to be more challenging than squeezing everything in. That being said, I'm more of a 1.5 bagger. (I have the Osprey Fairview 55, so 40 +

Does anyone else pack cute clothes and then live in the most practical outfit the whole trip?

Seconding r/heronebag. I did 8 months across Europe and SEA with a 40L osprey Fairview with temps ranging from -20 C to 40 C. I’ll never go back to suitcase travel again.

Do I need to take 2 work totes on my work trips?

I work in resource development and have mastered the art of packing an Osprey Fairview 40 with field gear and boardroom clothes. My favourite handbag to use for my personal item is the Onna Erlich Rachel bag. It's huge, durable, and surprisingly light weight. I've been banging mine around for almost

Need bag suggestions please!

The Osprey Fairview is 40 L and weighs 3.5, but with the hip belt, frame, and load lifters feels lighter than my Patagonia 30 MLC when fully packed. It's my go to if I'm going anywhere longer than a week, and I've even done Korea in January with it--keep in mind the bulk of winter wear!

How do I go ultra light on a 6 month trip

if you’re planning on flying between countries and not wanting to check a bag-be wary that most airlines have a 7kg weight limit for carry on items. if you’re not worried about checking a bag, ignore this. i (26f) currently have the osprey fairview 55 (it’s a 40L bag with a 15L daypack attached) tha

Help me decide

In my 6-month backpacking trip in SE Asia, I also used the Osprey Fairview 40 + a bum bag + a small laptop backpack that I carried in my front. It was all I needed. The laptop bag was a must because I didn't like the Fairview laptop compartment being in front. If I wasn't working, I would have gotte

Patagonia Black Hole - 40 l or 55 l for 10 days in Scotland for a smaller woman?

Neither. Duffles carry poorly. The 55 is too big for carry on. Get a backpack that fits you. The Osprey Fairview 40 is a good place to start.
