Some people consider Osprey the gold standard for backpacking backpacks. This is their basic model and usually retails around ~$200. I had a watch on it and was surprised to see it for 40% off.

You can also get green for a few $ more.

I just want to confirm this backpack IS for backpacking, like the title says, and not a backpack for something else 😂

I noticed that the title on Amazon says men's but then down below it says specific fit for women so now I'm not sure on the sizing.

The men's version is called Rook. The women's is called Renn. Since this is the Rook, I'd bet this one is the men's

Can anyone comment on if these are good for regular traveling and can it be used for carry on? Thanks!

this is not what you want for a carry-on. the dimensions are taller/skinnier that what would be allowed for overhead bins. the vented back is nice for hiking, but adds to bulk that you can't just cinch away. carry-on size is also generally accepted to be 40-45 liters as well, so just from a volume standpoint even the 50L is probably too big. want shorter/wider pack for carry-on.

Yes, this is an internal frame pack.

Osprey have the best guarantee. They are all I will buy for backpacking. I dropped one off a 100+ ft cliff on a trip and it got really beat up as you can imagine. I sent it in and they replaced it with a new pack. They are great to work with.

Just throwing it out there - unless you want to carry more things than you actually need for a weekend type trip, 65 liters is overkill and you can probably get away with the 50 liter.

Exceptions would be winter camping with extra gear, possibly extended backcountry trips where you need to haul weeks of food, stuff like that.

I backpacked a lot growing up (I'm an eagle scout). After the first few miles up a hill, you understand that backpacking as a hobby is one of those 'less is more' situations. Nobody with experience brings enough stuff to fill a 65 liter pack.

That said, Osprey is a fantastic company and they have quality designs.

Used this on a 3 day hike through Yosemite. Pretty decent pack but the straps were digging into my shoulders on day two. That may have been my lack of knowledge on fitting. I paid retail though.

Backpacking packs are designed so that the majority of the weight rests on your hips. If your shoulders hurt that badly you probably need to make adjustments. Yosemite is one of my favorite parks! Hiking to Nevada Falls is a top 5 all time for me.

I was looking at the mystery ranch 40 with the telescoping frame. Not sure if that's worth over double the price though
