Our take on 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 and hostel hopping. It has a women's-specific fit for 16-18 inch torsos, a 15-inch laptop sleeve, four exterior pockets, a hipbelt and an included raincover. At 23 x 15 x 9.5 inches it is sized to fit most carry-on limits, though the depth can push past stricter airline sizers when packed full.

Questions and answers

Is the Ruckpack 40 worth it?
For carry-on travelers who want organization and a hipbelt without paying premium travel-pack prices, yes. If you need more than 40 L or a structured frame, look elsewhere.
Does it fit carry-on limits?
At 23 x 15 x 9.5 inches it meets most major US carry-on limits, but the 9.5-inch depth can exceed stricter international sizers when overpacked. Pack it loosely for budget airlines.
Will it fit my torso?
It is designed for 16-18 inch torsos. Measure your torso from the C7 vertebra to the top of your hip bones; outside that range, fit will suffer.
Does it have a laptop sleeve?
Yes, a padded compartment fits laptops up to 15 inches, which makes it usable for work trips as well as leisure travel.
Is a raincover included?
Yes, a raincover comes with the pack, so you do not need to buy one separately.
When is it cheapest?
REI Co-op brand packs typically see discounts during REI's member sales and end-of-season clearance. Watch for price drops around those events rather than buying at full price.
