Stratos 34L

I think you're asking too much here. Although one of my friends uses a Kelty Redwing (36?) this way. He says it's tough to get all his multi day stuff secured though. I actually don't own a travel backpack per se. You see the Farpoint 40 recommended a lot. Despite that, it has a just-ok harness (but

I was able to carry the Stratos 34 onto the plane with no problem. I had a small backpack that stuffed into a little pouch. I would take my travel CPAP, battery and some other items out of the Stratos to make it look smaller. I was never questioned about the size. I wasn't even asked to gate check o

How big is that in liters? Anyway, I have two candidates for you. The Mystery Ranch 2 Day Assault Pack - it doesn't meet a lot of your bullet points but I have one, I love it, and I think that in terms of actual function it would be great.

I traded it for a 36 which I like more because it is top load. It just suits my packing better and I don’t trust that zipper to hold stuff inPretty much the

Sort of? TBH, I didn't try. I did the Kumano Kodo trail in Japan, staying in inns, so a similar hut-to-hut trip in that sense. But I also brought a really big roller with clothes for before and after and that I used to shuttle home some souvenirs. Anyway, I bought my Osprey Stratos 34 for that trip.

The Easyjet size guideline you posted multiplies out to 32 L. How strict are they about fitting in the box? The Osprey Talon 22 is very popular and I see them on planes a lot. A couple of the dimensions are in violation, especially length, so how aggressive EasyJet's enforcement is is important. Do

Good to hear. I walked the Norte with the Osprey Stratos 34 and it was really comfortable. I am walking the Tour Du Mont Blanc this year and then continuing on to other places so I bought the Osprey Farpoint because the Stratos wasn't really easy to get in and out of. Did you have any issues at all
