Wirecutter's Best Carry-On Travel Backpack: carry-on compliant at 40l
The Osprey Farpoint 40 is the most popular travel backpack on Reddit for one bag travel. At exactly 40L, it maxes out most airlines' carry on size limits while offering a laptop compartment, compression straps, lockable zippers, and a stowable harness system. Osprey's All Mighty Guarantee means if anything goes wrong, it gets fixed or replaced for free, forever.
