OspreyFairview 40 Women’s Travel BackpackBluesignBluesignBluesign

Excellent travel bag for short trips across Europe. Have used to the Caribbean alongside larger suitcase and great as cabin luggage. Very sturdy design and capacity with enough pockets to be versatile.Very durable and easy to carry as a holdall or wear as a backpack.

This is an excellent quality backpack, with straps that pack away and a handle on the side, and plenty of secure compartments with sturdy zips. Returned only because I realised that a suitcase that I already had would do the job for my trip; if I had intended to go backpacking with a backpack, I 100% would have kept this. My only gripe would be that the laptop holder isn't detachable, as I personally wouldn't have needed one and it takes up what I considered to be valuable packing space. Expensive but worth the money, though because I never actually used it I can't speak to how it holds up once it's been used a bit.

After much research, and seeing many many great reviews of this bag by various vloggers, I decided to go with this rucksack for longer trips.What I love:- The opening - it’s so easy to pack and to find everything- The adjustable back (I’m 5,3” so other packs can be too big)- The inner lining has great contrast (and is a lovely colour) to help find everything- Straps are super comfortable- The straps can be easily packed away so it’s used as a hold-all- The laptop sleeve- The mesh pocket is great for separating things from the main section.What I’d improve:- The front pocket has limited usefulness if the bag is full- I’d like a water bottle holder on one side.As the main section is just one big space, I would recommend using packing cubes with this rucksack.Really happy with this purchase.

Sturdy, lightweight, perfect size for carry on, and really comfortable to wear. Easy to pack as it opens like a suitcase. I used packing cubes which were ok, but would be improved with more compartments/ pockets to keep items separate, (hence only 4 stars).

I travel a lot and bought this bag on the recommendation of a friend. I can safely and easily confirm that this is the most comfortable backpack I have ever had. It's sturdy, it's breathable, it's a stunning colour. My only issue was that the laptop holder was at the very back and felt like you couldn't easily reach through to grab it without having to move everything else around/out of it. Brilliant bag, will definitely be looking at other models from this brand because I am sold on the quality they offer.

Did 4 weeks in Vietnam with this bag. Ideal.

Perfect size comfortable rucksack for our interrail holiday.
