Neither! I bought this pack and returned it because of both the back compartment and the hip belt issue that you called out. Was a great carry and carried a ton but those two things killed me from keeping this - especially in more urban environments or business trips. You also don't have anywhere to store the hydration port when it's not in use so that didn't work either (though I tried!).
@donniemacneil38045 жыл бұрын
I probably wouldn't use a bladder while travelling (unless I was specifically for the outdoors) but I'm wary of putting my laptop in places that aren't specifically designed for it. It seems like a good place to put documents that you wouldn't use as often (spare ID, extra copies of itinerary etc.)

I've just bought a new version of ruck pack 40 recently. Actually I did know that updated version has been released ....and still no one seems to have compared or reviewed yet. Here are some changes I noticed. • 2 loops on the straps are not stretchable • Slight change on back panel • The handle on the top is thick as the one on sides • Side pockets for bottle are not compressible. No straps • No zip compartment on the bottom • No hidden straps 7:52 on the top • Slight change on the top pocket •The direction of the zippers on the side pockets has been changed from the outside to the back • Right side pocket has one organization, erastic band for pens and hidden pocket • Left side zipper can go down to the bottom. No devider so you can fully access to the main compartment. • Side compression straps don't go over the side pocket zipper. Sorry for my bad English. I hope this helps someone.

I’ve traveled over 250,000 miles this year alone with this pack as my one-bag travel companion. One of the best luggage investments I’ve ever made, and the quality is still holding up after 10 months of continuous travel. I’ve checked it in, it’s been tossed around, the straps are fraying, but I love this pack. I’ve even used it for a 4 night backpacking trip! Not optimal, but it worked out great and was comfortable while trekking through New Zealand! The hidden daisy chains are my favorite feature

Two items, side “pull tabs” are there to lock the side zippers to. Second, the “small annoyance “ of unclipping the compression straps to open it all the way is really helpful so you can use the bag as a top access. I have carried this bag for two expenses over seas travel. First carrying it to Everest Base Camp (80 miles 12 days) and Tour Du Mont Blanc (110 miles 11days). Both trips included court travel before and after. I would highly recommend this pack. I have a 2nd generation Patagonia MLC carryon and this bag is much better.

I used the similar REI Trail 40 for the El Camino de Santiago in Oct. 2017. It was perfect for that application, very comfortable and survived the trip with minimal wear. It worked carry-on even though it was slightly over the TSA limit of 9x14x22. Hiking poles are not carry-on compatible so I checked them in a cardboard tube which was a major pain in the butt in Barcelona when they put them on a special carousel that was hard to find. I tried out the Ruckpack 40 at my local REI loaded with 20 lbs of sandbags which was slightly more than my El Camino load. The Ruckpack 40 was not quite as comfortable as the Trail 40, but it was close.The waist and shoulder belts were both hide-able under a zippered flap on the Ruckpack 40 I tested so I was surprised when you said the waist belt wasn't hide-able, although granted the waist belt is hard to get under the flap.

Hey, thanks for sharing this review. Awesome video production. Could I get your advice on this? I'm contemplating a purchase between this pack, Farpoint 40 and REI trail 40. Main use case is to bring it on long term travel but it needs to work as a backpacking pack as well. While I'm not very particular about the urban look, I need the strap to be sturdy enough to support a hike of 4 days to 2 weeks in the Himalayas. I'm a lady so I appreciate the details about the thickness of strap but still can't quite make out the quality from the video. Also I live outside of the US so can't test them out myself. Which of the pack would you recommend?

Hi consumativ-great question! I really like the straps of the REI Ruckpack 40, they are curved and padded enough for comfort. If I was in your shoes, I believe I would choose the Ruckpack 40 (women's version) simply because of it's comfortable carry and ease to use. If you are still considering the Farpoint 40 (which is another great option)-I urge you to take a look at the Fairview 40 instead, as this is designed specifically with women in mind.

@PackHacker3 жыл бұрын
Hey Joaquin, the women-focused option is designed for a smaller frame. It has slightly thicker straps, while the men’s are more narrow, plus they are shaped slightly differently, too. The women’s harness is anchored a bit lower than the men’s version, which is done to optimize the pack for smaller torsos-and because it’s anchored lower, it also sits a bit higher on your back. We haven't tested the men's focused harness system on a smaller frame, so we cannot verify the fit 100%, but both packs do have adjustable straps on the shoulder straps and on the load lifters. Just as a note, the sternum strap and shoulder straps don’t offer anything in terms of strap management, which means you’re going to have some dangling straps on various parts of this bag especially if you need the straps shorter.

The Radian is one example of many other packs we've reviewed that offer removable hip belts. - Tom

This is a dope alternative to the GR3 which I will now never be able to afford.

Hi could you do a review of REI Ruckpack 65????? #packhacker #REI

Hey DEVRAJ! We typically try to stay within carry-on compliance as we love to travel that way so we likely won't if I'm being honest! Hope this review helps regardless. - Tom

It's too big for European airlines. I just checked and its too tall for carry on. No carry on, no buy :(

Bummer, Dufffaaa93. We always recommend checking with airlines before purchasing a pack. 👍 Let us know if you find another pack that works out better for you! -Hannah

If you pack it full it won’t, but because it’s somewhat of a soft shell you could squeeze it in but you’ll most likely lose the top quick access pocket.

Great point neojei-don't forget there's an aluminum frame, too!

Will you review the updated recycled version? Or do a comparison?

Hi! No plans to review the new one at the moment, but I'll pass it along to the team for consideration-thanks! - Austin
