Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • great comfortable bag. got the last one at rei
  • I have the slightly smaller Osprey Parsec which seems like was recently discontinued, but I am obsessed.
  • Definitely an awesome bag, I just never really have a need for one this large. The kickstand and back panel are top tier.
  • can confirm the kickstand is amazing though, hopefully they're working on a v2 or re-releasing it soon
  • All the reviews I've read said this is the #1 EDC and great for travel too. The kickstand really appealed to me as well, as it seems most backpacks don't stand on their own at all nowadays.

Cons

  • Have you looked at the Osprey Parsec or Radial?
  • I had a look at the Osprey Parsec for that reason but it's currently hard to find in Germany.
  • Osprey: Tropos, Parsec, Archeon. Worth mentioning most of the actual hiking bags don't have laptop sleeve and can be pretty light on organization.
  • I’m just a bit concerned it might be a bit too close to the Farpoint 40L in terms of size.
  • Osprey Parsec is where I’m leaning right now.

Osprey Tropos or Parsec, or a messenger bag.

I’m more of a fan of the parsec/tropos due to the more comfortable carry but these two are solid

For that, look at bags like the Osprey Parsec, that have an integrated kickstand internal light wire frame.
