The 40L is a carry on.
Weirdly, you can get the 55L as a carry-on too. However, the 55L is really just the 40L + 15L daypack.
I'm going to guess that this is a 55L with a 15L daypack.
Also, if you are looking at these, the whole laptop thing gets weird. The bundled packs put the laptop sleeve in the daypack. The solo ones put a laptop sleeve in the big bag. I use it for work, so I bought the 40L alone and then added the daypack, so that I can have my laptop closer to my body and more convenient. My wife mostly travels for leisure and so she bought the bundle.

Can these be used as a carry-on for flights?
not sure about this 70L, I always use my 40L as carry on.

Note that you can overfill the 40L so the it doesn't fit in a all regional jet overhead, like an Embraer 135/40/45, but as long as it's not so full it's domed on the back it will slide right in. The 55 (70L w/o the 15L) is too long for small overheads and too deep to fit perpendicular in modern (A319/20/21 and 757/87) overheads…and, more importantly, won't fit in the sizer if fully packed, whereas the 40/55 will fit.

Yup - the 40L is perfect carry-on size and the 15L fits all but the tightest personal item requirements. I'm not a fan of the 15L because it has almost zero organization, so as a personal item it's not actually well suited unless you're going keep your documents in their own "folder" and your traveling accoutrements in a separate organizer. It's got more body and better straps than a stuff-pack, though, and it clips into the main pack front OR back so combined carry to/from airports and train stations is a convenient and easy.

Also, backpacks almost never get flagged or make airlines mad. Its kinda weird. I once saw a plane getting very critical of people's bags and I asked 3 different gate agents what i needed to do because my bag was stuffed full. They all said "oh, dont worry, its a backpack", even though it was clearly larger than people getting flagged. One person even said "you could always put it under the seat in front of you" and I explained that I absolutely could not and that would be impossible. She still said "don't worry about it".
The Farpoint replaced the Porter line of travel bags.
I used to travel with a 75L bag and always had to pay for checked baggage
