The Carry-On Backpack Revolution: Which One Survived Our Ruthless Travel Test and Why It Might Change Your Next Trip Forever
4. Osprey Farpoint 40: Best for Hiking and Travel
Osprey is a brand that’s known more for hiking and outdoor adventure packs than travel gear. The Farpoint (or Fairview for women or any folks with shorter torsos) is a carry-on-travel backpack that Osprey designed to combine their expertise in comfortable hiking packs with a travel-oriented design.
If you need a carry-on backpack that you can take on a flight around the world and then load up for a backcountry trek, this is it.
The Farpoint is inspired by Osprey’s hiking backpacks. It has a full-perimeter aluminum frame, a stiff frame sheet, a ventilated back panel, comfy shoulder straps with load lifters, and a structured, padded hip belt. This backpack earned a stellar 9.6 Comfort score in our testing, which isn’t surprising since Osprey is known for making some of the most comfortable hiking packs on the market.
