So that is all the items that I carry. It comes in at about 12Kg but I will be wearing some of these clothes so I can get them under 10kg if needed for flights.
You can find all the Ospray advantages listed in this video in the Forclaz 500 50L model. I have one and I love it! Big confortable hip strap, cover for rain and to protect the straps, lots of room, high quality, good price. I recommend.
Agreed! This 40L is the wrong version to compare to the Osprey. Look at the Forclaz MT100 50L or the Quechua MH500 40L, both are more feature rich and around the same price category.
Thanks for the comparison im actually looking at the porter vs forclaz
Farpoint is better than the Porter in my opinion.
And the Farpoint is better than the Forclaz in my opinion.
Only down side to the Farpoint is the laptop storage location.
But I don't pack a laptop in my travels though, so I don't care.
I’m thinking to get the osprey because there’s no covering for the strapped.. and it’s bulky but I’m still thinking if I should because I already have the forclaz 40l.
forclaz 100 does not have enough quick access pockets for my liking. its like a good duffle bag with good carry on straps. what if i am travelling with a laptop, and i need to access it for a while? i need to open the open the main compartment, which is too much of a hassle. osprey does much better job with the organization, and quick access pockets, but i do not like the placement of the laptop compartment. everything else is pretty much spot on.
Hi, I'm deciding rn which one of these 2 i shall buy. i'll backpack for 1 year in asia. can you help me? i wanted to buy the osprey because its more expensive more Premium, and money is no Problem, but now it seems that the forclaz is even better though it is cheaper. Which one should i get 😭 the turtle thing also makes me fear. i'm 190cm tall and weight 70kg
you mention the osprey is a lot more comfortable when fully loaded, is that still the case with a laptop in it with the laptop sleeve positioning issue?
Yes, it would be still more comfortable but I wouldn't put a laptop in a fairpoint.
Do any of these backpacks have a larger actual capacity in your opinion? Forclaz seems a bit smaller and narrower (?), but still has a top pocket. What are your feelings?
Well, the Forclaz is bigger than the Opsrey. I think it maybe 45l in reality. The osprey is hard to pack to the max. It's short and much fatter. You can look like a turtle.
@@budget_nomad However, I've decided to buy Osprey. I love the fact that you can hide the shoulder straps (in case some stupid airline wants to take my luggage before boarding the plane). Plus, the smaller space will force me to take less stuff, which is also good. ;) Additionally, there is currently a good price on Spanish Amazon - € 40 including shipping, so it seems like a great deal. Thanks again for the video! :)
@@MP-zi1vl I think the Osprey will last longer but I just couldn't get on with it. The forclaz is a much better back to live with. It's so easy to pack.
@@MP-zi1vl40€ for a farpoint 40l? how?? o.O
What's your height? I want to buy the Forclaz 100 40l but I'm 6'2"/188 cm, and I'm worried it'll be awkward. I watched your other two videos on the Forclaz too, very tempting!
I 6'2 and I have no problems.
@@budget_nomad And for 6'4'' also ? 😄
what about check in with forclaz? I got ticket with hand luggage (55x40x20 ko kg) I want to bye this backpack but on official decathlon website its - 55cm x 30cm x 25cm...is it so important this for ryanair(5cm)?
I used it a month ago on a Ryanair flight and no questions ask. What I did was to not fill the top or side pockets and tuck the hip straps in the back.
@@budget_nomad hi is the hip strap removable?
@@pnchan9178 no it’s sadly not :(
I almost got forclaz few months ago but decided to postpone it in order to do more research. That's when I saw that so many people think that osprey is the best in the medium price range bu after seeing lots of reviews I started to notice faults in this bag. The laptop compartment definitely being the biggest put off because it doesn't provide enough support and bottle holeder! I always carry 700ml bottle and I would definitely fall off during the travel.
I agree on looking like a turtle and all those dangling stripes are also annoying. I'd say that the forclaz is good for 1srt timers. Either that or invest in used osprey
To be fair I bought both and decided in the end to return the Osprey, it just wasn't as practical as the forclaz, it looks smaller but you can carry more. I've used as carryon luggage twice. The osprey it's a well known baggage on airlines, more chance of getting stopped.
The forclaz is durable too.
@@budget_nomad thanks for the answer! I still haven't bought either of them but if I won't manage to buy osprey for less than half of the original price I'd be happy to just take a trip to decathlon and get forclaz. I kinda worry about the material since it's a bit stiff and plastic like but I'll manage 😁
I'd say that the forclaz is good for 1srt timers - what's mean this ?
@@budget_nomad more chance of getting stopped. - where and why ?
@@jameshet8309 I think they mean more chance of getting stolen
Hey! Want to ask how you think the quality of the zippers is at Forclaz compared to Osprey?
The Forclaz zippers are not as good as the Osprey but I've had no problem after a year of use.
Thank you so much for your quick answer. I can imagine that this is the weak point of an otherwise good backpack.
Yes I mean if you really pull very hard, I would imag8ne they may break, but i try not to over pack.
@@budget_nomad Yes, that is clearly an important aspect. Is just in the choice and the qualifier to choose the milk This and Osprey
@@frederikhjort7755 Forclaz 40l has all YKK Zippers. YKK is top zip manufacturer worldwide. Big brands also use YKK Zippers
Hi there! Is the hip belt removable?
No, for either
Is the forclaz carry on size?
Yes
Who is better for handbag for most airplane company ?
Osprey I think
@@budget_nomad But you, what you have, Osprey or Forclaz ?
@@jameshet8309 I have the FORCLAZ, it's has more capacity but the Osprey look small for carry on.
@@budget_nomad ok, and you traveled or you travell in the world withouth to pay fees or you pay them ?
Which one u like the most..?
Forclaz 40l. It's much cheaper and doesn't make you look like a turtle lol
Please don't make videos with single hand
