The Osprey Farpoint 40 backpack is presented as a favorite for light-travel because it supports both carry-on use and easy movement from lodging to lodging. A single-bag approach for a 20-day Asia trip in 2018 replaced an earlier desire to overpack with a capsule-style mindset. The backpack accompanied extensive travel across multiple cities, flights, and trains, and it was used in both spacious and cramped accommodations.

It's lived with me in three homes, joined me on dozens of road trips, and stayed with me in hundreds of hotels."
"I've used it for trips as long as three weeks and as quick as a single night. I've thrown it down flights of stairs, sat atop it on subways, used it to shield my head from the rain, crammed it into overstuffed vehicle trunks, and packed it to the brim nearly every"
