Useful review, thanks.
Good to hear the size isn’t an issue on flights. How about weight? How much does yours weigh fully packed? The airline I’m getting on allows 8kgs
I literally love this bag, been everywhere with me, it can be compressed totally with straps, and Im using it with osprey daylite 20L as combo which can be compressed to laptop bag size (I was using it under legs and Farpoint above head compartment... I got more simple now onboard, small fanny with powerbank phone etc and diet coke from vend or duty free. Even stuffed and double heavy over limit, it does not get any suspicion, I had it hanging just on one shoulder and even in situations, where staff literally checked everyone going through door, and sending poor selected ppl on side, they did not bother with us (but never flied with Ryanair for example). Problem is, its bag more for outdoorsy trips.... I feel already too old to be a mule on airports, walking with that heavy guy on back, tired on airport on long haul stops... Now picking a cabin wheeler instead, just dont wanna spend same amount for osprey wheeler even I like their design. For less adventurous trips etc Imma probably gonna end with expandable 40L cabin Roncato, could not find other lightweight wheeler under 2kg.
Awesome
Hey man, I'm also a Canadian, and I am just getting into backpacking (thinking SEA like many first timers). Would you have any input on the Canadian flag being put onto the bag? I'd be carrying an expensive camera so I wouldn't want to draw too much "touristy" attention, and the only reason I can see to have it is not being mistaken for a US citizen
what would you recommend for a personal bag? Smaller fit under the seat or fit in the osprey as a day bag.
I use a packable Osprey backpack as well. It fold down really small when I don’t use it and it works as a day ah as well while travelling
you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !
Thanks!
I recently bought the Farpoint 40. My travel bag was the Porter 30, but I felt I wanted just a tiny bit more space, and still be carry on compliant, for bringing back souvenirs from trips. I'll be using one or the other depending on the trip length.
Was there something particular you wanted to pack that required more room ?
@@WillFaulkner Not on the way to where I was going, but a little extra space leaves room for bringing some things back home.
@@thullraven1 ah fair enough. I use a packable backpack I bring as a day pack. Anything I want to bring back I’ll put in there
@@WillFaulkner I have an Osprey Daylite Daypack as well. It can attach to either the Porter or the Farpoint that I have. AIrlines are getting really strict on Carry On stuff so the Daylite's days as a "personal" item may be done.
Did the shoulder strap you showed come with your bag. Mine didn’t come with one, if not what do you recommend
Yea it came with mine. Does yours have the two loops on the side of the bag to connect a strap? Maybe contact Osprey and they’ll send one
The latest model doesn't have a strap and strap connectors. There are three models of this, the first two models came with a strap but the latest version doesn't.
@@michaellynn8 Just started looking at this bag and I’m already turned off. They don’t differentiate models on sites
Curious what you do for work that allowed you so much travel time and compensation to pay for it 🙏 also thinking Aer 3 for my bag
I am a CPA and do financial management advisory services.
@@WillFaulkner I hate, I meant im jealous ! Good for you
Will it fit a 14.5 with a Law folder?
Yes
Hello there! Your video was useful! Thanks a lot! Is this allowed in the UK/Europe as one small cabin bag on flights such as Ryanair/Easyjet? Any idea?
It’s worked for me but I hear they are getting more strict with it. If you can manage, I would go with a smaller bag to be safe. You can carry the bag on your shoulder to make it look smaller.
EasyJet permitted it as a paid carryon bag, summer 2023.
@@2009bubbaray good to know !
Generally speaking, most European airlines don't care (within reason, excluding massive hitch-hiker esque bags) about rucksacks. The reason for this is that you can squish a rucksack and generally shove it into the required dimensions. But with calm style suitcases, you cannot, and thus space matters a lot more, and add to the fact that those travellers care a lot more about keeping things uncreased and they know they can get more money out of them.
Within I'd say 10 inches, you're fine with rucksacks. I have never known anyone to get checked nor have been myself.I should add this within Europe travel - I can't comment about transatlantic experiences.
I use a Porter 30l. Fits under Easy Jet seat
Love mine, it's awesome
Is the waist belt able to be tucked away?
Yes, it can be hidden away with same cover thats used for shoulder straps. Rolls out from bottom
Can you get away with the Osprey 20l daypack as a personal item?
Yes for sure
I have this backpack, is very good
Awesome
Nice backpack
No link??
Link for what ?
The Burton bag bra! @@WillFaulkner

This is a garden-variety situation. It played 🗓️ out
Yea I think I have the previous version
Hi, i have the new version of the Fairview 40 and the zipper of the laptop compartment has a loop to put a lock on it. I can't tell from the pictures, but I would assume the Farpoint is the same.
