Best of all, they’re among the least expensive travel backpacks available. After several years as runner-ups, the packs are once again our top picks.</p><p>The front of the main pack still unzips like a suitcase, so you can easily fit and access a week’s worth of clothes and toiletries. The daypack, which attaches to the front of the larger pack, has room for camera gear, daily essentials, and a small laptop (via a built-in sleeve). The main pack’s straps can tuck behind a zippered flap, so they won’t catch on anything if you check your luggage.</p><p>The best change: The main packs are now overhead-bin-sized for most airlines. (You’ll have to use the daypack as your underseat bag.) Other notable updates include height-adjustable shoulder straps and big exterior pockets on the daypack.

This gives The Backpacker the most customizable palette of any of our picks.</p><p>While looking more stylish on TikTok and Instagram isn’t generally a primary consideration for us, overall The Backpacker feels well made, and it has many of the same thoughtful features as our top and runner-up picks, including lots of pockets, smooth zippers, and height-adjustable shoulder straps.</p><p>These are offset, however, by a much higher price. Also, the main pack is technically too large to be a carry-on for most airlines, and the bag comes in only one size. (Salkan says it’s best for people 5-foot-6 to 6-foot-4).</p></section></div></div><div class="a1497183"><div class="f21e64f1 b5823c44 cdde21c0"></div></div><div><div class="a7a181ea ff31b4af"

An internal-frame backpack in the 50- to 65-liter range has more than enough room for all of the possessions you need to travel anywhere for an indefinite amount of time—as long as you’re okay with doing laundry once you get to a destination. (If you’re going to carry heavy jackets, going-out clothes, multiple pairs of footwear, or other bulky gear, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-checked-luggage/">you may want something a tad bigger</a>.)</p><p>A travel backpack is not for business travelers who’d like to maintain appearances, nor is it for outdoor enthusiasts looking to spend six weeks hiking in Patagonia.

Everything above and to the left of the main pack (1) fits in it, and everything to the right fits in the daypack (2). <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Geoffrey Morrison</span></figcaption></figure><p>Based on my experience and research, we looked for travel backpacks with the following qualities:</p><ul><li><strong>Fifty to 65 liters, including a daypack:</strong> We looked at bags between 50 and 65 liters (including an integral, removable daypack). Packs this size can easily hold everything you need for any length of trip, while being small enough to remain manageable while you’re wearing it.</li><li><strong>Clamshell opening:</strong> For extended travel use, backpacking backpacks have annoying qualities, including that they tend to load only from the top and are sealed with a drawstring. This design saves weight and means there’s one less thing to break. But it’s a total hassle when you want something from the bottom of the bag because you have to unload and reload the entire pack. We looked for bags where the front zips fully open like a suitcase, making it easy to pack or repack and find things during your trip.</li><li><strong>A well-framed structure:</strong> A fully loaded backpack, even a small one, can easily weigh more than 20 pounds. My old Farpoint 55 usually hovered in the mid-30s, though that included a DSLR, three lenses, a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-usb-battery-packs/">battery pack</a>, a laptop, a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-action-camera/#also-great-insta360-x4">360 camera</a>, and other work-related gear. A fully supported internal-frame pack distributes the weight onto your hips, which are much stronger than your back and shoulders. If you’re going to be doing a significant amount of walking, you’ll want something with a frame.</li><li><strong>Durability:</strong> We looked for features to help the pack last, like some sort of cover to contain the straps (for easier storage on planes and trains), as well as lightweight and water-resistant materials.</li><li><strong>Plenty of storage (and separation):</strong> I’ve done all of my traveling in the past five years with a 55-liter backpack (which includes a 15-liter daypack). I tend to overpack a bit, but 55 liters lets me carry everything I need (the full list is below) for weeks, or even months, at a time.</li></ul><p>Here’s what I usually bring for any length of trip (and this is our standard kit for testing):</p><ul><li>main pack (the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Command/Service_Module" rel="noopener" target="_blank">command module</a>, if you

Interestingly, the total capacity remains roughly the same as those of our other picks—that is, we were able to stow the same amount of clothing in this bag as we could in the <a href="#the-competition">REI Co-op packs</a> (our former runner-up pick) and the <a href="#upgrade-pick-salkan-the-backpacker">Salkan</a>. The daypack, in this case, would count as your personal item—on most airlines, this would mean you couldn’t also bring a large purse or a briefcase.</p><p><strong>Or check your bag—your choice.</strong> The shoulder straps can be secured behind a zippered panel, so if you want to check the bag or put it in a packed luggage compartment on a train or bus, they won’t catch on anything. Doing this essentially turns the main pack temporarily into a duffle bag, complete with sturdy and well-padded handles on the top and side.</p><div class="f669362e"><div class="ce43b2db fb2675ba"

This crucial feature lets you get an all-important personalized fit that makes carrying the pack for any length of time far easier. The straps were padded enough for our testers’ comfort (though not as cushy as the Salkan’s, and slightly less so than the REI Co-op’s).</p><p><strong>They have comfortable, easy-to-use daypacks. </strong>The daypacks are roughly the same size, or a little larger, than those of our other picks, something travelers who plan to cart lots of camera gear or other daily essentials will appreciate. The top of the shoulder straps connect to form a sturdy handle, which is extremely, ahem, handy. Each daypack easily holds a 15-inch MacBook and is comfortable to wear over long treks. There are two large exterior mesh pockets for <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-water-bottle/">water bottles</a>. Though the daypack is a little short on organizational slots and pockets, its comfort made it the best overall.</p><p><strong>The backpacks are tough.</strong> The Farpoint and the Fairview are made from 450-denier recycled polyester, which feels thick and sturdy, though more “plasticky” compared to the Salkan. (Denier is a measure of the fiber thickness in a fabric.) I put the Farpoint through six weeks of train, bus, and airplane trips across Europe, and it didn’t show any signs of wear or breaking.</p><p><strong>You can attach a lock, if you want.</strong> Unlike the Salkan The Backpacker, both the main pack and the daypack’s main zippers are lockable.</p><p><strong>The backpacks come in more color options than our other picks. </strong>Currently, the Farpoint comes in black, green, blue, and grey. The Fairview comes in black, green, red, and purple.</p><p><strong>The packs include a lifetime warranty.</strong> Osprey’s <a href="https://www.osprey.com/customer-support/all-mighty-guarantee" rel="noopener" target="_blank">All Mighty Guarantee</a> covers repair of any damage or defect for life—or replaces the pack, if repair is impossible. If you just want to return the pack unused, you have 30 days.</p><p><strong>It’s been a pick in this guide for seven years—and counting.</strong> I have put my money where my mouth is, so to speak. After testing this 2023 pack, I liked it so much that I bought one for myself, replacing an Osprey Farpoint that had been my go-to pack for years of travel.</p><p><strong>It comes in additional capacities.</strong> If you already have a daypack that you like, the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/7378/21727/4/174559/?merchant=REI" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="REI" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/7378/21727/4/174559/?merchant=REI" data-vars-store="REI" data-gtm-context="chapter_our-pick-osprey-farpoint-55-travel-pack-and-fairview-55-travel-pack" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="REI" data-pid="7378" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/7378/21727/4/174559/?merchant=REI">Farpoint 40</a> and the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/23317/139813/4/174560/?merchant=REI" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="REI" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/23317/139813/4/174560/?merchant=REI" data-vars-store="REI" data-gtm-context="chapter_our-pick-osprey-farpoint-55-travel-pack-and-fairview-55-travel-pack" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="REI" data-pid="23317" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/23317/139813/4/174560/?merchant=REI">Fairview 40</a> are just the main pack from the 55 (they’re also picks in our <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-carry-on-travel-bags/">guide to carry-on travel backpacks</a>).

They would work well for those who want to go with the Osprey but need more room in the main pack for, say, clothes for multiple climates, bulky items like ski parkas, and the like.</p><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><ul><li>The U-shaped opening of the daypack is surprisingly small, restricting access. You can’t easily spot things at the bottom or carry bulky items. On the other hand, this does limit what might spill out of the pack if you forget to fully close it, something that has happened to me several times with the old half-clamshell design.</li><li>Previous versions of the Farpoint and the Fairview had large zippers that basically fused the daypack to the main pack. With this version, the daypack hangs off the back, secured only by the nylon compression straps. The straps loop through reinforced parts of the daypack, so it seems reasonably secure, and this new design does let you stuff more things in both packs—but as someone who carries a lot of expensive gear in the daypack, I’m less than excited about it.</li><li>The pack isn’t as comfortable as the heavily padded Salkan. Osprey seems to have prioritized weight and breathability over padding. In warmer climates, though, this could be a good thing.</li><li>Unlike our other picks, the Farpoint and the Fairview don’t include a rain cover. One is available separately, however.

as being a little smaller than the REI Co-op and Salkan packs.</li><li>Lastly, while looks are entirely subjective, the Farpoint and the Fairview are very much “backpack-looking backpacks.” The dark color choices are safe, to put it mildly.</li></ul></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="upgrade-pick-salkan-the-backpacker"><h2 class="e823fba7"

It has more organization and compartments than the Osprey packs, however. There are two large water-bottle compartments on either side and a laptop compartment inside, as well as several other small, zippered compartments. In addition to the main zippered hatch, the top opens with a drawstring like a hiking backpack, allowing fast access or storage. This drawstring design does allow you to stuff a bit more into the pack than the Osprey packs.

The back panel and hip straps are generously padded, too. All this does make the pack nearly twice as heavy as the Osprey, though we’re talking only a few pounds (under 8 pounds compared with the Farpoint’s 4-plus pounds). For reference, the Farpoint, fully loaded with all my clothes, heavy camera gear, and so on, was around 35 pounds, including the bag itself.</p><p><strong>You can customize it. </strong>The pack is available in two main colors: black and light green. In addition, the straps have complementary color options, including orange (shown above), pink, and maroon, plus five other choices. This allows for more personalization and flair compared to the <a href="#our-pick-osprey-farpoint-55-travel-pack-and-fairview-55-travel-pack">Osprey</a> packs. Salkan also sells several accessories to go with The Backpacker, such as packing cubes, water bottles, and a laundry bag that attaches to the inside of the main pack.</p><p><strong>It’s sturdy—but has not-so-great attachments.</strong> The bag’s 900-denier polyester fabric (even stronger than our top pick’s 450-denier fabric) is extremely strong and should resist rips or tears. What zippers The Backpacker has run smoothly, but the design oddly eschews them in key places. While the main compartment has a zipper, as do multiple smaller compartments, the main and daypack’s top openings do not, using drawstrings and a flap instead. These flaps are secured with aluminum “G”-shaped hooks (Salkan calls them buckles) that slide into nylon straps. The hooks feel nice in your hand and could well last longer than the plastic clips on the Osprey packs. However, connecting them takes a few moments longer than using a clip or zipper would—time that adds up. They also feel less secure, like they could slide loose under load and movement. (These hooks are also what connect the daypack to the main pack.)</p><p><strong>It has a great warranty.</strong> Salkan has a “<a href="https://www.discoversalkan.com/pages/responsibility-1#:~:text=Our%20'No%20Landfill'%20Lifetime%20Guarantee&text=And%20we%20really%20don't,Head%20to%20our%20FAQs%20page." rel="noopener" target="_blank">‘No Landfill’ Lifetime Guarantee</a>”: “If there is something wrong with your backpack that shouldn’t be, then we’ll try to repair it, and if we can’t, we’ll replace it.” In addition, the company has a 100-day trial period within which you can return or exchange the pack if you don’t like it.</p><p><strong>But it’s pricey.</strong> The Backpack costs much more than the Osprey acks. While it’s arguably better-looking, this doesn’t add much functional difference. The pack’s comfortable, but so are the others. It’s adjustable, but so are the others. It does come with a rain cover—Osprey’s costs $40. Is the Salkan’s extra cost and organization worth the better aesthetics? That’s not for me to say.</p><p><strong>And we couldn’t attach a lock.</strong> There’s no way to lock either the main pack or the daypack. There’s no way to attach a lock to the “G” hooks. The nylon drawstrings at the main pack’s top opening, as well as the daypack’s, offer no practical way of attaching a lock. For such a well-designed and feature-rich pack, this is a surprising oversight. Is this a dealbreaker? Probably not, at least for most people. With the daypack buckled and the drawstring closed, it’s highly unlikely someone could reach in while you’re wearing it without you noticing. However, I frequently leave my pack in luggage rooms at hotels or the occasional hostel without lockers, and not being able to lock it when it’s out of sight would concern me.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-6" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-6-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-6"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-6"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="the-competition"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="the-competition-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="The competition" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="7">The competition</h2><div id="the-competition-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="the-competition" aria-hidden="false"><p><em>This is not a comprehensive list of everything we tested in previous iterations of this guide—just what’s still available.</em></p><p>During our research, we checked out a number of companies that make great packs, but none of those packs met all of our criteria.

\tFifty to 65 liters, including a daypack: We looked at bags between 50 and 65 liters (including an integral, removable daypack). Packs this size can easily hold everything you need for any length of trip, while being small enough to remain manageable while you’re wearing it. \tClamshell opening: For extended travel use, backpacking backpacks have annoying qualities, including that they tend to load only from the top and are sealed with a drawstring. This design saves weight and means there’s one less thing to break. But it’s a total hassle when you want something from the bottom of the bag because you have to unload and reload the entire pack. We looked for bags where the front zips fully open like a suitcase, making it easy to pack or repack and find things during your trip. \tA well-framed structure: A fully loaded backpack, even a small one, can easily weigh more than 20 pounds. My old Farpoint 55 usually hovered in the mid-30s, though that included a DSLR, three lenses, a battery pack, a laptop, a 360 camera, and other work-related gear. A fully supported internal-frame pack distributes the weight onto your hips, which are much stronger than your back and shoulders. If you’re going to be doing a significant amount of walking, you’ll want something with a frame. \tDurability: We looked for features to help the pack last, like some sort of cover to contain the straps (for easier storage on planes and trains), as well as lightweight and water-resistant materials. \tPlenty of storage (and separation): I’ve done all of my traveling in the past five years with a 55-liter backpack (which includes a 15-liter daypack). I tend to overpack a bit, but 55 liters lets me carry everything I need (the full list is below) for weeks, or even months, at a time. Here’s what I usually bring for any length of trip (and this is our standard kit for testing): \tmain pack (the command module, if you will) \tdaypack (the lunar excursion module) \tpair of walking shoes or sneakers (along with the shoes I’m wearing) \tfive shirts, one pair of shorts, one pair of jeans (not shown because I wear them in transit), one merino wool underlayer \twarm hat (because my head lacks insulation) \tfive pairs of underwear, five pairs of socks, one extra T-shirt for laundry day, one bathing suit (I really recommend packing cubes) \train jacket in an Eagle Creek bag \tvarious adapters, camera batteries, chargers, etc. \tvarious toiletries, vitamins, etc. \tOsprey rain cover \trazor, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. \twell-worn flip-flops \ttravel towel \tportable Bluetooth speaker \tprescription dive mask \tmerino wool jacket \tinflatable pillow \tsmartwool half-zip midlayer \tsun hat (because my head hates sun) \textra travel adapter for daypack (when the daypack is my carry-on) \tpen (vital!) \ta small laptop (a 15-inch MacBook fits in all of our picks) \tGoPro batteries and filters \tearplugs and noise-cancelling headphones \tsunglasses \tGoPro \tKindle \tWriter Emergency Pack \tUSB battery pack #1 \tUSB battery pack #2 \tbackup headphones \tiPod Classic (because you can’t always stream music) \tUSB charger \tSigma 30 mm f1.4 (with a wireless mouse to its right) \tCanon DSLR","title":"How we picked","slug":"how-we-picked","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":[{"type":"tag","name":"p","attribs":{},"children":[{"data":"For our first version of this guide in 2016, we narrowed our choices to 11 possible contenders.

(The Fairview is for people with 15- to 19-inch torsos, as measured from the top of your hip bone to your C7 vertebra, the one that sticks out when you press your chin to your chest. The Farpoint is for those with torsos from 17 to 22 inches long.) They’re now our top picks again, and here’s why. You can carry them on the plane. Once you detach the daypacks, the main packs are now carry-on-sized, making them the most versatile travel backpack we’ve tested. Interestingly, the total capacity remains roughly the same as those of our other picks—that is, we were able to stow the same amount of clothing in this bag as we could in the REI Co-op packs (our former runner-up pick) and the Salkan. The daypack, in this case, would count as your personal item—on most airlines, this would mean you couldn’t also bring a large purse or a briefcase. Or check your bag—your choice. The shoulder straps can be secured behind a zippered panel, so if you want to check the bag or put it in a packed luggage compartment on a train or bus, they won’t catch on anything. Doing this essentially turns the main pack temporarily into a duffle bag, complete with sturdy and well-padded handles on the top and side. They’re adjustable. Like our other picks, the main pack has height-adjustable shoulder straps. This crucial feature lets you get an all-important personalized fit that makes carrying the pack for any length of time far easier. The straps were padded enough for our testers’ comfort (though not as cushy as the Salkan’s, and slightly less so than the REI Co-op’s). They have comfortable, easy-to-use daypacks. The daypacks are roughly the same size, or a little larger, than those of our other picks, something travelers who plan to cart lots of camera gear or other daily essentials will appreciate. The top of the shoulder straps connect to form a sturdy handle, which is extremely, ahem, handy. Each daypack easily holds a 15-inch MacBook and is comfortable to wear over long treks. There are two large exterior mesh pockets for water bottles. Though the daypack is a little short on organizational slots and pockets, its comfort made it the best overall. The backpacks are tough. The Farpoint and the Fairview are made from 450-denier recycled polyester, which feels thick and sturdy, though more “plasticky” compared to the Salkan. (Denier is a measure of the fiber thickness in a fabric.) I put the Farpoint through six weeks of train, bus, and airplane trips across Europe, and it didn’t show any signs of wear or breaking. You can attach a lock, if you want. Unlike the Salkan The Backpacker, both the main pack and the daypack’s main zippers are lockable. The backpacks come in more color options than our other picks. Currently, the Farpoint comes in black, green, blue, and grey. The Fairview comes in black, green, red, and purple. The packs include a lifetime warranty. Osprey’s All Mighty Guarantee covers repair of any damage or defect for life—or replaces the pack, if repair is impossible. If you just want to return the pack unused, you have 30 days. It’s been a pick in this guide for seven years—and counting. I have put my money where my mouth is, so to speak. After testing this 2023 pack, I liked it so much that I bought one for myself, replacing an Osprey Farpoint that had been my go-to pack for years of travel. It comes in additional capacities. If you already have a daypack that you like, the Farpoint 40 and the Fairview 40 are just the main pack from the 55 (they’re also picks in our guide to carry-on travel backpacks). You can add the daypack later if you want. If you want more space and don’t mind checking your luggage, the Osprey Farpoint 70 and the Osprey Fairview 70 are slightly larger versions of their Farpoint 55 and Fairview 55 counterparts—anything we’ve said about the Farpoint 55 and the Fairview 55 also applies to them. They would work well for those who want to go with the Osprey but need more room in the main pack for, say, clothes for multiple climates, bulky items like ski parkas, and the like. Flaws but not dealbreakers \tThe U-shaped opening of the daypack is surprisingly small, restricting access. You can’t easily spot things at the bottom or carry bulky items. On the other hand, this does limit what might spill out of the pack if you forget to fully close it, something that has happened to me several times with the old half-clamshell design. \tPrevious versions of the Farpoint and the Fairview had large zippers that basically fused the daypack to the main pack. With this version, the daypack hangs off the back, secured only by the nylon compression straps. The straps loop through reinforced parts of the daypack, so it seems reasonably secure, and this new design does let you stuff more things in both packs—but as someone who carries a lot of expensive gear in the daypack, I’m less than excited about it. \tThe pack isn’t as comfortable as the heavily padded Salkan. Osprey seems to have prioritized weight and breathability over padding. In warmer climates, though, this could be a good thing. \tUnlike our other picks, the Farpoint and the Fairview don’t include a rain cover. One is available separately, however. Osprey recommends the large size for the 55 L packs. \tThe new design is slightly smaller than the old one, as well as being a little smaller than the REI Co-op and Salkan packs. \tLastly, while looks are entirely subjective, the Farpoint and the Fairview are very much “backpack-looking backpacks.” The dark color choices are safe, to put it mildly.","title":"Our pick: Osprey Farpoint 55 Travel Pack and Fairview 55 Travel Pack","slug":"our-pick-osprey-farpoint-55-travel-pack-and-fairview-55-travel-pack","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":[{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-caption","attribs":{"id":"attachment_348346","align":"alignnone","width":"2048"},"children":[{"type":"tag","name":"img","attribs":{"class":"alignnone size-full wp-image-348346","src":"https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/11/travelbackpacks-2048px-03595.jpg","alt":"The gray Salkan The Backpacker travel backpacks - the main pack on the left and the daypack on the right.","width":"2048","height":"1365","noInlineStyles":true,"postType":"review"},"children":[],"dbData":{"productionCDN":true,"source":"wp-content/media/2023/11/travelbackpacks-2048px-03595.jpg"}},{"data":" ","type":"text"},{"data":" ","type":"comment"}],"dbData":{"credit":"Photo: Marki Williams"}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-callout","attribs":{"type":"alternate","id":"3"},"children":[],"dbData":{"ribbon":"Upgrade pick","callouts":[{"name":"Salkan The Backpacker","title":"More stylish, with more padding","images":{"full":"https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/58817/Salkan-The-Backpacker_20231113-234159_full.jpeg"},"description":"This attractive but expensive travel backpack has customizable straps and great, cushy padding.

(Smaller sizes are still available.) The Deuter Aviant Access Pro has many of the features we liked, but its daypack is too small. The pack’s also more expensive than our top picks. The men’s and women’s Thule Landmark 60L are well-made, sturdy packs, with a wide main-pack opening and most of the same features that we like in the other packs. They’re more expensive, though, and the daypacks aren’t as comfortable. (Since our testing, Thule has started offering the backpack only in a unisex option; it’s still pricey, though, and comes in just one size.) The Tropicfeel Shelter Backpack is a highly customizable pack to which you can add “modules” that expand capacity or change its use. It’s a cool idea, and the pack seems well designed, but it’s extremely expensive and doesn’t really add that much practical use over our main picks.
