Osprey Fairview 40 Women's Outdoor and Travel Backpack

Product Information

The Fairview also has sternum straps sliding along a rail on the shoulder straps so you can set them at the right height. They grip tightly to the rails, so it takes a little effort to move them. We don’t mind, though, since they stay in the right place and don’t require readjustment.

Are you still with me? Good. I’m at the point in this Osprey Fairview review where I’ll discuss money. A great option for digital nomads. Dedicated laptop and tablet sleeves make digital nomad life a lot easier. They also offer something they like to call the Almighty Guarantee. It’s a lifetime guarantee for all of their products, including the Osprey Fairview 40 line. Osprey has a great reputation, and a big reason for that is their Almighty Guarantee. This is their term for a lifetime warranty. But there are some issues to look out for before investing in this as your next travel companion. And this wouldn’t be an exhaustive Osprey Fairview review without talking about the pros and cons.Some bloggers rave about this feature but I’ve never used it, nor seen anyone else using it. To do so would mean having a bulky bag bashing into my legs or hips and the thin strap wouldn’t be comfortable on the shoulders over long distances. The placement is also a bitawkward. Once your laptop is in the sleeve, it prevents the bag from bulging as much as usual. This causes you to lose a small amount of valuable space. Carry-on compatible: Standards vary, but after talking to friends I decided I wanted something under 22 inches and preferably closer to 20. As we’ve already mentioned, at 54cm x 35cm x 23cm the Osprey Farpoint 40 fits within the carry on luggage specifications for most airlines. This is great if you don’t trust airlines with your stuff, or if you just don’t want to mess about at the luggage carousel after every flight.

However, if you try to cover a significant distance in a hot climate, it does tend to get you pretty sweaty.While I am a bit paranoid the shoulder strap is going to get caught in something (I usually wind it around the handle before stowing it), that fear has so far been unfounded.
