Is the Ruckpack 40 worth it over the Osprey Farpoint 40?

The Farpoint 40 has a stronger reputation for harness comfort and durability. The Ruckpack's edge is the included raincover and women's-specific torso fit. Given the low owner ratings, try it on loaded before committing.

Does it fit as a carry-on?

At 23 x 15 x 9.5 inches it meets most major airline carry-on limits, though strict budget carriers may still measure it. Check your airline's exact dimensions before flying.

Will it fit my torso?

It is cut for women's torsos of 16-18 inches. Outside that range the hipbelt will sit too high or too low and carry poorly.

Does it have a laptop compartment?

Yes, a padded sleeve fits laptops up to 15 inches. It sits against the back panel, which is convenient at security but adds bulk when full.

Is a raincover included?

Yes, a raincover comes with the pack. That is one feature rivals like the Cotopaxi Allpa often charge extra for.

How many pockets does it have?

Four exterior pockets plus the main compartment. Organization is simpler than on packs with front panel loading and internal dividers.

About the REI Co-op Women's Ruckpack 40 Pack

The REI Co-op Women's Ruckpack 40 is a 40-liter travel backpack built for carry-on trips, with a women's-specific fit for 16-18 inch torsos. It has a 15-inch laptop sleeve, four exterior pockets, a hipbelt and an included raincover, so it covers the basics for hostel and city travel. It competes with packs like the Osprey Farpoint and Cotopaxi Allpa, which are known for sturdier harnesses and better organization. Owner feedback is weak: ratings sit at 2.5 out of 5, with complaints about durability and comfort under load.
