Osprey Farpoint 40 vs Black Ember Shadow

Overall, I was pretty happy with everything I packed. In the future I would like to pack to the size of my mini MLC but use my Osprey Farpoint 40 for the comfort. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy (and safe) travels!

Here i have the delta hub, carpio ergonomic wrist rest. This is a really neat. Little item to pair with your mouse just to prevent some of that wrist ...

I wanted to like this bag, and there are some things I do like, but the laptop compartment is a huge miss for me. I was looking for a pack to take with me to Borneo for 3 weeks. I managed to almost fit (but not) everything I wanted in to it, but it was like a stuffed sausage in the main compartment and a turtle overall. The small upper pocket worked well to hold my liquids, but what the heck could I put in the two sectioned laptop sleeve pocket? There are no small compartments, just a large zippered one and a large Velcro laptop one

The main laptop slot easily accommodates my 13" laptop AND my laptop tray (which is thicker than the laptop itself), so two laptops may be doable, as long as they're not massive. And with that said, i have the smaller 22L version, which is an inch shorter and an inch less deep (same width). [Black Ember Shadow 26L](https://blackember.com/products/shadow-26)

Zippers and pockets are well designed. Spot for my iPad. Bottle/can holders on the outside. Excellent, padded hip belt for distributing weight

Avoid product and seller. - Zipper separated from bag after a week of use. No longer “waterproof”. Seller directed me product website for resolution

Getting it on, I could not see the straps AT ALL. If I did not have a traveling companion I am not sure I would have gotten it on. I would have required a mirror. Once on the hip straps did their job and kept the weight off my shoulders

They're always tidy and there is nothing dangling around. Yeah, first impressions on build quality is very good. How useful this might be if there are...

The smaller top pocket is perfect for your TSA liquid bag or throwing in the contents of your pants pockets before sending it through the x-ray machine. I do TSA Precheck so I don't have to take out my liquids, but leaving from other countries, liquids do have to come out so this pocket is handy. When leaving the US, put my wallet, cellphone and watch in the pocket so they're not in plain sight to temps any sticky fingers. The current model has more of a low key logo of just the bird and Osprey wording, not what the picture Amazon shows

Just the Cpl line, the Civic Panel Loader line. It is what I think is kind of like the maybe the class leader for this type of bag in my opinion from ...
