Osprey Women's Fairview 40L Travel Backpack, Black

I bought this for my wife because I have the men's version and love it and now so does my wife. Fantastic sack for weekends away, flying and exploring the hills. My wife loves the Fairview fit.

I have had this backpack for 8 years, I bought it for traveling by rail on week long trips to Scotland to make my life easier by having my hands free for dealing with ticket barriers through London underground. I have been blown away with how much this bag has made my trips easier. I'm used to carrying backpacks to and from work everyday but the way the straps takes the weight off your back and puts it round your hips means it feels so much lighter and you are able to manoeuvre with ease. It fits on every overhead luggage rack I've ever used, including Ryanair! It's sturdy as anything and can fit a surprising amount of stuff in it. I'm only just now looking at a bigger size of backpack as now I have a 5 year old to take on my travels and she is eating up my packing space! We still managed a trip up this week with 5 days worth of clothes, toiletries and travel entertainment with just this backpack and a little pack for her but her soft toy nearly pushed us past it's limits. I will still be using this for solo trips. Buy it, you won't regret it!

Such an easy to access back pack with a good amount of space. So pleased with this pack we bought another

Very well designed, comfortable to wear, good amount of room inside, very pleased with it

Yet to test if it saves me money on luggage charges, but hoping it does the job. Generally an expensive bag but I hope/am sure it will survive the test of time due to the good quality.
