Is the 65L size allowed as carry-on?

Usually not. At 65 liters it exceeds the carry-on limits of most major airlines, so plan to check it or use it for road trips.

Can it be carried as a backpack and a duffel?

Yes. The backpack harness stows away, and padded handles let you carry it like a duffel.

It is weather-resistant, not fully waterproof. The coated nylon and polyester shed rain, but heavy downpours can get in through seams and zippers.

It offers more carry options, a wider opening and more internal organization, but it is heavier and costs more than a basic duffel.

It has a large main compartment plus internal pockets for smaller items. Packing cubes are sold separately.

It works for gear hauling and travel, but a dedicated hiking pack has a better suspension and hip belt for long trails.
