Osprey Porter 46

The handles on the outside are also reinforced and padded, so you can quickly pick up and head out if you don't have time to deploy the shoulder strap...

and now this thing is small enough that we can compress it down, get it below that 9-inch limit to fit as a carry-on So instead of having to use those...

You can see it's getting fatter but everything fits and then even here these side areas because of the way the bags design I mean you could stuff item...

To me, that's that's a con. It should have come with it for that price point. The other negative small negative is, like I said, it doesn't come with ...

IMO, it's a poor mans Osprey Porter (I have the 46L Porter and it compares favorably). Bought a few for family and friends and they all love it. Tons of positive reviews out there if you search google. I have used it as an airline carry-on and it was pleny comfortable for me fully packed.

I have North Face Terra 45L and Osprey Porter 46 that used in my previous trips but this one was the least bulky. ​.

Osprey will replace the bag for me for free, but I'm wondering if I'd be better suited with a Farpoint 40 or similar. I've used the Porter 46 quite a bit but only truly onebagged with it once, for a 3 week trip to Japan. It was very spacious (I bought a ton of souvenirs and also I overpacked for the trip since it was my first onebag trip) but I found it too massive, unwieldy, and uncomfortable to carry it full-time.
