Thanks for this review - it was most helpful. I'm going on a 5 month trip to New Zealand and Scotland and I want to pack super light and only bring a backpack. Your video helped me decide - I'm going to buy it!
Has anyone figured out a good way to attach a shoulder strap to this? I used this for 2 months in NZ/Aus, as luggage. I carried it on the transpacific flights, but checked it for domestic flights because the planes were smaller and they just didn't allow the weight as a carryon. I also had a daypack (actually a child's backpack since it was a fun color), that I did carry everywhere. My laptop generally went in the daypack, but if I were walking a good distance, I put it in the sleeve here to make the daypack lighter. Other than the lack of a shoulder strap, I agree with Anna did - easy to pack, could use one or more secure outside pockets.
Just a note for 7:20, You can get the osprey daypack that is made specifically for the farpoint/fairview 40 (and to a lesser extend the 55, because the 55 already comes with that exact backpack I mentioned). And also the attachment point is *not* the one you mentioned, that clip you mentioned at 7:20 is for the load lifters. There *IS* an additional female clip attachment (that accepts the male clip that exist on the daypack) on the strap of the farpoint/fairview 40 (and also 55), located roughly near the shoulders area when wearing (on the strap itself) that is tucked neatly away. This allows you to front carry the daypack without wearing 2 bags' straps at once.
Sorry to ask but what is your height? I'm really short like 5ft (1,53m) and I'm worried that the backpack won't be adjustable enough for a short back like mine
Im going to the USA for 3 month (from scotland) Im trying to pack light as this is my 3rd year and I never end up actually using half my luggage😂 Im pretty sure im going to buy it but I don’t know if I should go for the womens or the men’s version! Im a pretty short guy 5’3, you said you’re pretty short too just wondering what your opinion is!
This will fit in the overheard bins so will be included in airlines that aren’t budget (easyjet, Ryanair, Wizz air). The budget ones the only bag you can bring for free has to fit under the seat in front!

Thank you so much I tried to be as detailed as possible as I know that’s what I’d look for in a review 🌟 You’ll have the best time on your trip!!
The piece inside is the padding for the laptop pocket. There is a zip on one side to access it.
Good review. Hope you're enjoying your Aussie holiday.
Thank you!

Why does this bag look like it doesn’t fit much despite being 40l? The Cotopaxi 35 seems much bigger for some reason

I’m five foot two!
Hi Anna, amazing review. Do you mind sharing your height please. I'm short as well so just wanting to visualise where it'll sit on me. Thanks :)
Thanks! I’m 5’2 😊

How exciting!!! I’d try and see if there’s any Osprey stockists near you so that you could try both on!
Did you have to pay for cabin lugage or is this a carry on?
