Osprey Fairview 40L Women's Travel Backpack, Winter Night Blue

I am a huge fan of Osprey products after getting this bag along with a few others. Its huge and very expandable but still fits in an overhead compartment or even under the seats in most airlines. I use it for all my travel and I like the backpack/suitcase combo as sometimes I want to carry it on my back and other times I want to treat it like a suitcase. The straps fold in and are covered by a zippered area when using it as a suitcase so this keeps all the straps from dangling. I love the teal color and all the stitching, handles and pockets are really sturdy. The material is waterproof and the zippers will take a beating as I always over stuff it but they always hold strong. Its pricy but will last for ages and with so many pockets and zippered areas, you can store anything yet still have it easily accessible. I highly recommend Osprey products

I’m 71 + years old 5’2” ~135 lb woman. I went to Europe for a month with this Osprey backpack and a carryon suitcase. I was able to get all my gear in both but found the backpack was a lifesaver!! I could always find a spot to put awkward things in it. I asked a lot from the zippers and they, as everything else, performed beautifully!!! Amazing to me, regardless of my (terrible lumbar and sacral) spine, carrying the pack on my back was a breeze- really! The weight distribution on my hips, secure adjustable clips and (lifesaving) pockets, made it extremely useful and easy. Loved the way air could get through to my back to help keep me cool (as We were in Paris for the horrible heat wave in 2026.)

I travelled to Thailand for 2 1/2 with this bag and a personal item and it was perfect. I had to pack and repack several times because we moved locations a lot and it was really easy to do so with this bag. It can fit a ton of stuff and it’s very durable. I think it’s worth the price. It’s pretty weather resistant as well. I got it wet and muddy and it cleaned off really easily

This backpack is very well made and durable. The hip belt does help with taking pressure and weight off of your shoulders. The only issue I had with the backpack was when I wanted to zip up the straps and carry it more like a suitcase. It does not zip all of the way around, so part of the top of the shoulder straps stick out on top. This backpack carries quite a bit and has the separate slot that you can put something very thin in, for example a laptop. The design in the back makes it cooler and comfortable to carry with plenty of padding.

Great for backpacking and traveling in general. You can fit so much more than you think!! 100x better than hard luggage

Extraordinarily roomy, I bought this for a 2+ week trip overseas where I didn't want to have to check bags. This was the 'extra' personal item for 2 of us. It initially was for all our electronics (ipads, chargers, headphones), books, my purse, miscellaneous travel luxuries (travel soaps, tide packets, etc.), items for immediate access (sunglasses, wallets), and critical paperwork (passports, printed maps and hotel info). We were moving from place to place starting in Ireland, flying to Germany, driving from west to east and ending up in Vienna, so we stayed in a lot of hotels and had a car with a small-ish trunk (2 seat convertible). This meant it was tossed around and carried EVERYWHERE. When our little suitcases were at capacity (was cold in Ireland so we bought big bulky sweaters because Germany was HOT and we weren't prepared for the cold), we started shoving all the souvenirs into this one. Many were VERY fragile. This thing just kept swallowing more an more. I am convinced it could actually hold more than our roller bags. While the carrying features such as the side zipper where we stored paperwork, the small pocket on the top for wallets and sunglasses, and the 'packable' hip belt and shoulder harness with a hard back were brilliant and made it easy to haul around what was now a VERY heavy backpack, there were some areas that I found more and more irritating as we went on and are the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars: - Other than the small pocket at the top, there were NO zippered pockets anywhere inside or outside. This meant that small items we wanted to separate to avoid getting lost due to accidentally falling out when opening, or due to their value had to go into the suitcase. Opening the entire pack was unavoidable and because of the soft nature, everything we had shoved in there would start spilling out. This meant the little pocket on top was maxed out very quickly. - While the zippered 'cover' to store the harness and belt were great when closed, you have to roll it up and shove it down as far as it would go to keep it from hanging out when open. It didn't really come out when you do this, but it seemed a lazy way to do this. Probably standard, and it worked, so maybe it's just me. - Me personally, I would have liked to be able to keep the belt stored away and just have the shoulder harnesses out for use because the belt got in the way much more than it helped. Maybe if the zippered part would let you do this and keep the belt partially sealed up, but it didn't seem designed to do that. Maybe if we had gone up a size, they would have had amenities to accommodate some of the issues I brought up, but the next size was just too big. This one was already larger than anticipated. This was ultimately a good thing for us, but any larger would have been much too heavy once packed full as this one almost was. This would be a great pack if you only want one item that can be carried wherever you need as it is large enough and juuuust fits under the seat (you will have to put your feet on it), but it is larger than you might expect as a regular 'personal' carryon item. Also beware that there is only the one additional zippered pocket and there are none inside (not counting the side zipper access for very thin items). Also, I LOVE this color!

Pros :I used this for luggage on a trip around the UK. I only took this piece of luggage for a 2 month trip. I took a lot of lightweight clothes, 3 dresses, 3 skirts, swimsuit, six cotton shirts, underwear and pjs and a small light towel. Cosmetics and bar shampoos and flipflops It is roomy and very well built. It fits in the overhead of large aircraft and under the seat of smaller ones. It is sooo comfortable to carry, seems to disburse the weight well, even for an older person (58). Very easy to carry. Cons: once packed I could not fit a water bottle or anything in the front outside pocket, it is too tight so that pocket is a waste. You cannot really use packing cubes, they take too much room. The best way to pack is to roll your clothes. I would have liked a proper zipped outside pouch. Other than that I love it.

Got this backpack when it was on sale (new model came out but we liked this better so jumped on the price reduction). Absolutely love it -- traveled for 16 days through Croatia and it fit everything easily and was super comfortable to wear, especially with the hip pads. I'll never take a carry-on roller bag again, this is MUCH easier.

Good quality bag for okey price.

Absolutely love this bag, very good space in it, nice look and fits in every airline cabinbag

This is my wife's pack and I'll repeat what I said for the men's version: Back home after 26 days of living out of this pack and carrying it on trip across Europe. It held up beautifully. Fit into every carry-on and storage locker be it plane, train, or boat. Comfortable, functional, and plenty roomy. No complaints.

Ottima qualità, zaino capiente ed ergonomico. Consigliato

Har en 22-liters Osprey och ville lägga en större variant till samlingen för att skippa rullväskan. Ryggsäcken är skön, stor och praktiskt. Lite synd att den inte har blixtlås på ytterfacket, annars superbra och fin ryggsäck.
