Ever hear the advice against convertible travel packs? I’ve had a few, and when traveling internationally without the promise of private cars and the unexpected step-count of massive terminals, I will say the options they afford can make the pros well outweigh the cons. But the best ones I’ve used were strictly check-in bags—large enough to make up for the sacrifice of capacity thanks to the handle and wheels. But as a carry-on, it’s a harder sell—can you truly do one-bag travel with one of these with the diminished capacity? I personally have found I can’t get away with less than around 35 liters for a carry-on backpack, and I refuse to use a spinner case because I often ride a motorcycle to the airport and use public transit and do a good bit of walking between lodging at my destinations. This is the first carry-on sized bag with wheels and backpack straps I can really get behind. Yes, you lose a bit of capacity from a standard Osprey backpack for the sake of a pole. And folks who want spinner wheels won’t be satisfied. But as someone who’s literally fallen backward like a tortoise thanks to an overly heavy Porter pack and has felt dehydrated just by sweating having a other travel packs on my back, I’m so thankful for being able to wheel this around when I don’t need to worry about stairs and rough terrain. In backpack mode, the mesh panel is much better ventilated than any other travel pack thanks to the arch of the pole keeping a constant air pocket at your back and comfortable suspension of the load. This also acts as a secret stash area for a puffy jacket or packable extra bag when the back panel is zipped up. The straps are just as good as other Osprey travel packs with suspension points at the top—and there’s no fiddling with fasteners to attach the straps. Just like a conventional Farpoint, the internal and external compression straps work great, and the lack of organization in the external pocket is actually helpful to slide in items without catching onto tiny pockets and folds… which I’ve never found helpful anyway when that’s what your cabin bag is for anyway, right? Which is how you maximize your potential with this bag. Bring a great flexible smaller bag as your personal item—think crossbody duffel or hybrid tote-backpack. You can even re-use your good old Osprey Daylite as a THIRD bag if you can get away with connecting it to the front of the bag (as they are designed to do!).This gives you ultimate flexibility to hop on trains, planes, or even motorcycles when you need to be fully wheels off the ground or need both hands totally free. It’s the best way to go fully carry-on without wishing you could roll a bag to save your stamina or dash through subway stations without having to awkwardly carry a roller up and down staircases or wait for an elevator.

Great idea, poor design

A rolling carry on is a great idea. I found two problems with this one. First is the strap system. It works, but configuring the straps between roll on and pack is cumbersome. The biggest problem I had was the nice bend in the ergonomic handle. This bend works well when rolling the pack but unfortunately takes up about a third of the interior space of the pack. You really can’t carry much with this pack. If the handle was straight the pack would have been useable. REI’s return policy is great and I took advantage of it.

More backpack than a real rolling carryon!

2 years ago

wheels are great, BUT design limited carry on contents. Take a close look at the interior frame design, you lose about 1/3 of the packable room due to the handle configuration as it is about 1.5 inches high right down the middle of the pack. Then add to the design of the back of the pack which takes even more space, this is suppose to be a carry on right? It was designed more for someone to use it as a backpack first versus it is a carry one with wheels. As a carry on the design of this pack didn't take into account it is a carry-on with wheels first. Generally one would not check in a bag, so you would want to maximize the storage capacity? I returned my pack and was disappointed.

nice light weight carry on

2 years ago

This is a great light weight roller bag. I wasn't looking for a backpack so I rarely use the backpack straps but they stay zipped up out of the way. I like that it zips all the way around and the front buckles help keep it from bulging out too much. The front mesh pockets are pretty useless to me.

Another win by Osprey.

Super comfortable as a backpack but the best rolling carryon I’ve ever used. Well balanced when empty or packed full. Currently traveling throughout Europe and this bag takes it all in stride. Everything from the airport floor to cobblestone streets.

Great, until wobbles set in with weight attached

1 year ago

I bought this pack for a trip to Italy since we wanted to pack light. I like everything about this pack (lots of compartments with strong zippers). The pack works well unless you place things on top of, or mounted to the rear face - then the pack can start irritating oscillations. I had several occurrences where this happened. It really needs two bars on the pull up handle.

One Flaw

8 months ago

I wanted to love this but ended up returning for one flaw. On the inside of the bag, the handle housing leaves a huge hump on the inside of the bag where the handle collapses into. So when you're packing the suitcase, you have like deeper spots on the sides and then a huge hump in the middle. It makes it cumbersome and takes up room while packing. I did a mock pack up and had to put shoes on the outsides and then shorts on the middle to avoid the hump. I wish Osprey could make a lay flat handle housing so you would have more room. If it wasn't for this design flaw, it would have been a keeper.

Convenient for traveling.

Used for car trip. Separate compartments for separating clothes and toiletries. Mesh pockets perfect for my slippers. Like the wheels. Haven't used the shoulder straps but good to know they're there in case I need them.
