Osprey offers two different fits in its Fairview/Farpoint line: it considers the Fairview to be the women's fit and the Farpoint to be the men's fit, but each pack can be worn regardless of gender and may better be assessed based on your body type. It also offers a few friendly details that set it apart from your typical duffle. Sartzetakis adds that the backpack, which comes with a lifetime guarantee, offers plenty of pockets for day-to-day necessities, as well as secure compartments for valuables. Although there is no hiding that this bag is a backpack, I appreciate that it comes with a cross-body strap so it can also be used as a purse for a different look or on long days when I need to redistribute weight to stay comfortable. Unlike some hobo totes, this comes with an adjustable and removable shoulder strap for easy carrying. The sternum strap is vertically adjustable so you can get the right fit. This alarm has LED lights that can be utilised in dark regions or at night.

Rather than being broken up into smaller compartments, a U-shaped zipper flap reveals one large one that you can pack however you like. The best thing about the HYC00 Travel Duffel Bag is it’s the ideal budget option, but doesn’t feel like a budget option. Directly opposite that zipper is a quick-access zipper that lets you reach into the main compartment without unzipping the whole thing. Accessed by a zipper on the side of the back panel, the tech pocket has a velcro tablet pocket and enough room for a 15-inch laptop, but it lacks accessory pockets. Opposite that is a pouch to slide chargers and other accessories into, though I wish it had a zipper closure and some more pockets to better utilize that space. The tech pocket is one of the most impressive at utilizing space. But it does lack in organizational and tech pockets. I didn't have to compromise or pack "creatively" or stick socks into pockets where socks didn't belong. The front-loader bag opens to reveal a main compartment that fits four to five days of clothes and two large mesh compartments that I used to pack small items like socks and underwear. With one large main compartment, the Timbuk2 Impulse Travel Backpack Duffel lets you pack a ton of stuff however you see fit, and it throws in some small side pockets and a shoe pocket to further up its utility.

Our small backpack purse for women but spacious mini backpack for kindergarten children is mas in organic cotton. At the end of this guide, you'll find my full testing methodology and a glossary of useful vocabulary to know as you shop for your travel backpack. On the right, you'll find an undivided expansive compartment. Inside the front panel is a deep organizer pocket with wallet-like divisions for cards and pens, and a compartment perfect for travel documents. You can move the entire thing, shoulder straps and all, up or down the pack to get the perfect fit for a variety of torso heights. Load lifters on the shoulder straps ensure the bag won't sag off your shoulders, creating pressure points. The harness system is also ergonomically designed and it's one of the few packs on our list with load lifters to keep the pack from sagging away from your shoulders. The suspension system is also highly adjustable.

One downside to this pack is that the harness system isn't stowable, so you may find things get caught as you try to shove it in the overhead. On the left, you'll find two smaller mesh pockets on the top half and a big compartment on the bottom. It has contoured mesh padded shoulder straps as well as waist and sternum straps for even weight distribution. The harness system is basic, but the contoured shoulder straps are comfortable, and the removable hip belt is streamlined and effectively distributed load weight. Because this pack is smaller, it doesn't come with a hip belt or any way to attach one, and ends up feeling pretty heavy when packed to capacity. The hip belt is one of the widest I tested and it does a fantastic job of redistributing weight off your shoulders - though, admittedly, it's a little dorky looking. It's definitely an overnighter - maybe a weekender if you push it - but it's a well organized little pack that's easily a one-bag solution for light packers and quick trips. On surface streets and backroads, the G 650 GS is much happier, and so am I. At 423 pounds (claimed wet), the bike isn't light for a single-cylinder 650, but the bike handles well at low speeds due in part to the under-seat four-gallon fuel tank keeping the cg low.
