Mystery Ranch Tower 47 vs Osprey Skarab 18 Hydration Pack - Men's

If this conformed to carry-on size limits, you can be sure they'd say that, and loudly. They don't. As others have said, given the proportions it's almost certainly taller than the rules allow -- perhaps by as much as 5-7 cm.

Number two issue issue magnet on the hose only hooks into the chest strap—which unlike other packs is not symmetrical but only adjusts on the magnet side so if you need more size it goes far left and doesn’t hold the hose. Huge bummer for those of us with bigger chests. Wish the magnet was movable or the straps were switched. Kind of a dumb design

On the other hand it is easy to adjust the straps on the move which is nice because if anyone has ever worn a pack for an extended period of time, then you know how nice it is to loosen, tighten, and switch to sling mode here and there to help free up spots on your back that get too hot over time because even with breathable material like that present on this pack, the bottom line is that there is still weight pushing material along your back and you will still get hot depending on how long you wear the pack. The primary harnesses are thick and comfortable, even when I loaded the pack for weight I didn't feel anything digging into my shoulders. I'm used to seeing red marks on my shoulders with other packs and this comfort is something I'm not used to
