Finding a suitable carry-on pack was tricky. There are many choices out there, but it all depends on what is important to you. Since we’re planning to visit some out-of-the-way places I knew that the pack had to have shoulder straps and a waist belt. But Kelly made it very clear that she would only travel with a bag with wheels. This caused a bit of struggle for us because there was not a bag that could do both well.
But, lo and behold, Osprey rose to the occasion and came out with a new version of their well-reviewed Farpoint (and woman’s Fairview) carry-on bag. I have to say they’re amazing and work well for both of us. At under 5 lbs, I can fit all my gear and it only weighs 20 lbs!
And Kelly’s happy.
Shoulder straps
and wheels!
