5.0 out of 5 stars ... a month long backpacking trip through Europe and I love this backpack
By Katie on July 8, 2018
After a lot of research I decided on the Osprey Fairview 40 for a month long backpacking trip through Europe and I love this backpack! On my return home it nicely fit 6 T-shirts, 12 blouses, 2 pairs of jeans, 9 pairs of shorts, 2 dresses, 3 bikinis, 1 pair of sandals, 1 small towel, 2 books, a small make-up bag, a ziplock of liquids, and other miscellaneous items. To say the least it was pretty heavy, but still comfortable enough to carry for a 1-2 miles (for reference I am 5'5" and 125 lbs). Its was also great for carry-on, I had no problem on Delta, Norwegian, and Turkish Airlines.

5.0 out of 5 stars WINNER IN EVERY WAY!!
By Jay Griffith on October 8, 2018
Loved using this backpack in Europe for a little over two weeks. We bought it (and the Osprey Farpoint 40 for my husband) to meet the requirements of the smaller intra-European airlines such as Alitalia and EasyJet. It was well within the restrictions, and they didn't give us any trouble at all! The internal and external compression straps are a great bonus if you're pushing the allowable dimensions. An added bonus of the compression straps is that, if you take care, the zippers can be hidden underneath the straps so you don't have to worry so much about pickpockets on packed trains and buses -- beware!
I have always been an over-packer, but knowing I had size and weight restrictions led me to buy this pack. I was easily able to take what I needed for our 16-day trip with room left for a few souvenirs on the way back. Despite my inexperience in using a backpack, this was so much easier than rolling a suitcase over cobblestone streets and the pedestrian bridges (most with stairs) in Venice. The pack itself weighs so little that I was easily able to heft it into the overhead bins on the plane, unlike a suitcase. I am a petite woman at 5'1" and this pack was very comfortable on my frame. I'm a convert!

3.0 out of 5 stars XS/S is not a smaller pack
By Horse Dreamz on January 28, 2019
I ordered both sizes XS/S and S/M in the rainforest green so I could do a side by side comparison. The XS/S is supposed to be a smaller pack, which I thought would be better since some European airlines only allow a 19" size. The problem is, both packs were 21"! The only difference was the shoulder straps on the XS/S were sewn lower, so the space between the belt and the top of the shoulder straps was shorter. This made the pack sit higher up than normal on the XS/S. If I had a hair clip holding my hair up, the back of the XS/S pack forced my head forward. It just wasn't balanced, either, when compared to the S/M with the straps sewn in the usual spot. I tried both packs out fully loaded to see. See photos of strap placement on both packs.

There was also another difference in the shoulder straps, the XS/S had specialized Osprey clips to attach something else, while the S/M had elastic sewn across that could be used to attach something to it. Osprey changed systems so the older model has clips and the newer ones have the elastic.

I ended up returning both, since a 19" size would have been my preference due to airline restrictions.

If I were to keep one, I would have kept the S/M due to the shoulder strap placement making the pack ride more comfortably. I am 5'2" and according to the Osprey fitting chart with my torso length either size would work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bag for travelling - ideal size for long trips!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 5, 2021
Used this bag to travel South East Asia. Love love love it! It was the perfect size for me. Never got too heavy and many people asked me about it at various points along the way. I could bring it aboard some buses with me if it felt too dodgy to leave below. Found it so much easier to get around with this bag size. I also bought Amazon packing cubes which allowed me to maximise space (rolling things) and also accessing things easier. I used a long slim packing cube which fit along the bottom (towel/flip flops/sandals). And put 3 small cubes side by side across the middle. There was also room for another one along the top. It was perfect!

The only downside is it doesn't come with a raincover, so I recommend buying a cover also, as it does tend to get quite dirty. But not essential!

I checked the bag in for all flights but did see some other travellers using it as their carry on. Sometimes if it was really full it seemed quite deep, so didnt want to risk it. But I reckon it could be done especially if it was less packed. The outter straps really let you close it further and compress it down even further when closed ;)

Looking forward to using it again when travel opens back up!!
