Comments about Osprey Waypoint 80 Travel Pack - Women's:
This is a great women's pack for long trips. I bought it for a month-long trip to Africa and it was great. Very rugged, great capacity, comfortable to carry, no unnecessary bells and whistles. There's one large compartment on the inside with two long skinny zip pockets on the side and a mesh one on the inside of the front. I like the simple design because it's versatile. It's too big for long weekend trips, though. My other criticism is the day bag on the front is a little small, and in order to secure all the straps around the big pack, you have to string one up through the day pack. So basically every time you want to get in the big pack, you have to take the smaller day pack off. That got old.

Comments about Osprey Waypoint 80 Travel Pack - Women's:
I just came back from a 6 month trip in South America, covering 10 countries. The Osprey Waypoint 80, aka 'The Brick' was smallest and compact pack out of 8 in our group, but the 2nd heaviest one. I started with 25 lbs at take off and checked in 55 lbs at the end of the trip.
Hardly any wear and tear, except for the top part of the frame (squarish area) where it kept getting rubbed and smashed around on the buses, taxis, and boats. Nothing a few strips of duct tape for reinforcement didn't remedy.
I didn't use the day bag that came with because it was a bit too small, and the straps made it a challenge to wear in front. I opted in buying a REI sling bag instead, which easily slid in front (for security reasons) while carrying my pack.
The side zip opening made it very convenient for organized packing, opening and closing. I had a top loading pack before and wasn't so keen on unloading everything to get to stuff in the bottom.
One nifty feature I enjoyed using is the zipped covering area. You can unclip and stow the straps in the zippered area and carry your pack like a duffel bag. No worries about snags while on buses and planes.
In a couple of months, the Brick and I are setting off again to SE Asia and India...

Comments about Osprey Waypoint 80 Travel Pack - Women's:
Innovative design, sturdy construction and easy access to interior makes this a great bag for travel. Love that you can really compress the bag if you aren't carrying it to capacity (great for the start of a trip before you pick up goodies!) Has held up to one long trip including several plane rides, hotels and rental cars without issue or damage. Love the locking main zipper. Wish the daypack was slightly bigger and both bags came in more colors because it gets lost with other black bags on a luggage carousel.
