I love this backpack. I have all 3 sizes. I love it because you can lay it flat on the back and open the flap up like a suitcase and have easy access to the contents. It's not like a traditional backpack where you have to stuff everything from the top. Also the 46L is the maximum size for a carry-on.

Out of curiosity what do you do with the 30L? Is that your EDC?
I have this in the 46L. This is my onebag for 90% of my trips. No check ins. Have done international. Have put a suit in for weddings. The straight jacket design makes it easy to really clamp down if you are in a bind for space. Extremely sturdy and zippers are silky smooth. Has a water bottle pouch. In my opinion the best onebag travel item. I have recommended this to all my friends and family. $130 is the lowest i've seen and what i got it for about a year ago.
I have the Farpoint, 40L very similar. Bag has a good weight to volume characteristic and very good shoulder harness/hip belt. If you are carrying your pack much you absolutely want a good padded hip belt to distribute the weight off of your shoulders. With this size bag you are likely packing 15 to 35 lbs.
I also have the Farpoint 40L and it's the best travel bag I own. Going on 11 years and lots of travel, I've only had a rubber grip piece for the zipper break.
Out of curiosity what do you do with the 30L? Is that your EDC?
I can get by with the 30L for a weekend trip to see my parents or brother. I'm a fairly light packer, plus using a vacuum bag to squeeze my clothes. I'll use the 46L for 4 night work trips where I fly. And the 65L for any trips more than 3-4 days by car.
I am looking for lightweight backpack for my backpacking hiking trip. Seems like this might be little heavy for multi-day hiking.
Wrong tool for the job. This is an everyday or travel backpack, not a backpacking backpack. You want something more along the lines of the Osprey Kestrel (the "tank mule of a backpack"), or the Atmos AG (comfiest shoulder setup ever), or the Exos (ultralight-ish for multi day).
You wouldn't catch me dead backpacking for several days with this. This is for airport hoppers, daily work use where you are out and about a good bit, in school and working, etc.
