Review on πŸŽ’ Osprey Fairview Women's Travel Backpack: The Ultimate Companion for Backpacking and Casual Daypack Use by Len Cooper

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fits a lot of stuff but not comfortable

I took this on holiday in Ireland - we stayed in 2 different hostels. We didn't have a problem with the carry-on luggage for United Airlines, the only problem we had was that there wasn't enough luggage space, so we had to check it out on several routes. Just put the straps on and carry them like you would a duffel bag, they won't blink twice. It fit A LOT of stuff, I could fit a couple of t-shirts, 8 pairs of underwear, two bras, three pairs of jeans, two sweaters, two pajamas, a set of microfiber towels, flip flops (for the shower), a pair of sneakers, six pairs of socks and everything related to cosmetics/toiletries. I also pack a bunch of medicine, charging cables and Bose headphones in my day pack. My only issue is this: if you FULLY pack it up like I did, it's so uncomfortable and hard to carry on your back or whatever. We walked about a mile and a half from one hostel to another about halfway through our trip and when we got there my back hurt. even after adjusting the straps and belt buckle. I wouldn't recommend this if you're going to be walking around with it on your back for any length of time. The quality is excellent - the backpack is definitely well made and I love being able to zip up the daypack - it was great for us as we have done many trips and day trips. I would definitely recommend it, but be aware of the awkward wearing issues.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Reliable
