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

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

How do you handle lots of weight on an achy back with a backpack?

This is all about overhead sized bags. Load transfer and under seat bags aren’t happening. Reduce the weight as much as possible! Get a pack with a load transferring harness that comes in various torso lengths or adjustable torso length for a proper fit. That will put 80% of the weight on your hips.

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

Cycling backpack 30L plus?

You could look at the Deuter Trans Alpine series, I have used a regular size for many years. The regular size is here also 28l, so similar to the Osprey Escapist. There is also a larger (taller) 32l version. But that is aimed at tall riders, so with long back, at least 1.85 m height. Considering tha

Bon sac a dos plutôt grand ?

10 ans que je voyage avec un Osprey Farpoint 40. Super content. Il a exactement la taille d'un bagage cabine, pochette pour le pc, il est confortable pour marcher assez longtemps et il est durable. Récemment, qqun a cassé une boucle et j'ai demandé au service client de m'en renvoyer une (gratuitemen

What are you people 30+ using as luggage for travel backpacking

I just bought the Osprey Farpoint 40 and used it for a monthlong trip in Central America. Very comfortable and adjustable. I’m 54, have had 3 herniated discs, and love to travel, so I understand the back pain issue. I’d skip the wheels because that will just add weight and discomfort. I think that m

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

Best Backpack for first time solo travel?

At your price point of $150, you might want to have a look at the Osprey Farpoint or Daylite Carry-on. The latter I think is that price, and the former I've seen on sale for around that or just under. As for comfort, you'll need to try them on (fully loaded) to feel how they will be for you.
