The Osprey Farpoint 36 has become my go-to backpack for true backpacking trips with lots of carrying. It is the most comfortable when having to carry a lot.

Spacious Front-Panel Opening & Compression: A large panel opening and internal straps make packing, organizing, and unpacking effortless.

Eco-Friendly Materials: Constructed from recycled high-tenacity nylon and bluesign®-approved fabrics, so you can travel responsibly.

Daypack Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Osprey’s Farpoint/Fairview Travel Daypack and Daylite™, letting you grab just what you need for day trips.

Comfortable to Wear: Padded hip belt and shoulder straps make backpack mode feel almost weightless, even when fully packed.

Easy to Roll: Smooth-rolling wheels and a retractable handle let you glide through airports without strain.

If you want carry-on freedom—gliding through the airport, packing like a suitcase, and switching to backpack mode in a heartbeat—this bag nails it without draining your wallet.

• Easy to Carry: At just 2.9 kg (about 6.4 lb), it’s one of the lightest wheeled carry-ons I’ve used. Holding it on my back between gates never feels like a workout.

• Suitcase-Style Packing: The front panel opens wide, so I can lay everything out flat—zip it closed, and nothing shifts during the flight. No more digging through a deep backpack to find socks.

• Smooth-Rolling Wheels: Small but sturdy, these wheels handle cobblestones, airport tiles, and bumpy sidewalks with zero complaints. I barely notice the terrain as I glide along.

• Instant Backpack Mode: When the escalator’s down or there’s a sudden stairway, I just snap on the straps and sling it over my shoulders in seconds—no fumbling, no hassle.

• Great Value: At $179, you’re getting a solid, well-built bag without paying for bells and whistles you don’t need. It looks clean and simple in Black or Blue, and it holds up trip after trip.

The Everki Atlas has quickly become my go-to for airport hustles and business trips. Its large, covered wheels glide over terminals and city streets effortlessly—then tuck away behind a cover to keep your back clean when you switch to carrying it like a backpack.

• Large, Covered Wheels: Rolling this bag feels almost effortless, whether I’m racing to catch a flight or navigating uneven sidewalks. When it’s time to carry it on my back, the wheels tuck neatly under a cover, so I don’t end up with a dirty, scuffed back.

• Quiet, Smooth Roll: I love how whisper-quiet the wheels are—no racket clacking down hotel hallways or distracting colleagues in a quiet workspace.

• Clever Compartments: Every time I’m at security or digging for a charger, I appreciate the thoughtfully placed pockets. My laptop, cables, passport, and pens each have a spot, so I’m never rummaging around.

• RFID Protection: The built-in RFID-blocking pocket gives me peace of mind that my laptop and credit cards are safe from data thieves.

The Tropicfeel Lift Rollerbag 40L is the newest addition to my luggage collection, and so far, I absolutely love it.

Expandable (40 L → 52 L): Gain extra space for last-minute finds.

Smart Compartments: Dedicated RFID pocket, phone sleeve, and mesh dividers keep essentials secure and accessible.

Roller ↔ Backpack Conversion: Hidden straps deploy in seconds for quick mode switching.

Modular Wardrobe System: Includes a hanging toiletry bag and sealed laundry pouch so unpacking is effortless.

Sleek & Durable: Cool colors,sturdy wheels, and reinforced corners suit both leisure and business trips.

Smart Design: Its well-thought-out compartments make organizing and navigating airports easy, keeping all my essentials secure and quickly accessible.

Very easy to convert: Converting it from a roller bag to a backpack is done in just seconds!

I love how it stitches from backpack to wheels in less than 30 seconds. It’s easy to put on my back and fairly comfortable to carry. 

Quick Transformation: In under 20 seconds, I switch from rolling on its rugged 90 mm wheels to shouldering it as a backpack—no fumbling.

Effortless Rolling: The HighRoad chassis and oversized wheels handle cobblestones, dirt roads, and airport tiles with zero fuss, so I’m not fighting my bag on uneven terrain.

Comfortable Haul: When I need to carry it far, the AirScape™ backpanel and harness distribute weight perfectly. Even fully packed, I barely feel the load on my shoulders and hips.

Ample Storage: With 65 L of space, I can pack gear for extended trips or include bulky items like a sleeping bag. Front opening and external compression straps keep everything accessible and snug.

Durable & Protective: Reinforced panels, zippered covers, and compression straps shield my gear from rough airport handling or a quick downpour.

Carry-As-Duffle Design: Whenever I hop off a shuttle or need to haul my bag up a few steps, I simply grab one of the sturdy handles—either on top or on the side—and carry it like a duffle. It feels natural, and the lack of bulky backpack straps means nothing’s digging into my shoulders.

Super-Light Construction (7.3 lb): I can’t stress enough how refreshing it is to have a 60 L wheeled bag that doesn’t weigh a ton when empty. Even with gear packed inside, rolling it never feels like a chore.

Big Front-Opening Panel: I can unzip the entire front and lay my clothes flat—no more rifling through layers to find that one T-shirt. Plus, the top and front zip pockets are perfect for stashing my passport, wallet, and headphones for quick access.

Reinforced Protection: The bottom plastic feet mean I don’t worry about dragging it over rough pavement. And the two-way zipper adds an extra layer of security, so I never wake up to surprise spills or missing items.

Compression & Organization: Inside, the simple polyester lining keeps everything tidy. I tighten the compression straps around my clothes to minimize wrinkles, and the two internal zip pockets hold chargers, socks, and other small bits so they don’t float around.

Durability Concerns: Despite the tough-looking exterior, I noticed small holes in the bottom within days of use. That chipped away at my trust—and left my belongings exposed.

Won’t Stand Upright: In my hostel room, every time I leaned it against a wall or desk, it slumped to the floor. No matter how I packed it, it refused to stand—annoying when I just wanted to grab something quick.

Short-Distance Carry Only: It’s not even comfy to shoulder for a few minutes, but try carrying it longer and the lack of hip straps starts to pinch.
