Your bag is perfect except for "that one thing" - what is it?

Should I get the Osprey 40L or 50L?

I dislike zip-on attached daypacks like the Osprey Farpoint 55 for a few reasons. 1.) They put weight in exactly the worse place possible, out and away from your spine. 2.) The attached daypack is useless for carrying anything valuable because it's out-of-sight and out of your control. 3.) I don't w

I like this bag for the top-load or side-load choice, the molle webbing, and $80 USD price tag. But I realize Amazon items are usually not well built. Are there any recommendations for a bag like this from a good manufacturer?

Bag Finder Megathread - 20 April 2026

What's your bag of choice for backpacking that involves a lot of trekking? I'm going to be doing a year of backpacking next year and will be going through cities, but also doing multi day hikes in certain regions throughout the year.

Osprey Farpoint 40L VS Salkan 35L

I have an osprey farpoint and it’s been alright. As many others have said, the lack of side/outside pockets is annoying. The laptop sleeve doesn’t fit my laptop so it ends up being my document holder. I like the straps that are inside and outside because they keep everything secure and make it easy
