Has anyone used the Lowe Alpine AT45 and the Osprey Fairpoint 40?
I'm looking for a new work carry-on bag and am trying to decide which one to get
Bump for the evening crowd
How much do you need to carry? 40l isn't massive, but good for travelling light, I suppose.
I'd go with the Osprey, just because everything I've owned from them is epic. Very good company as well.
I'm a cheapskate and I got one of the superlight IT rollers from tesco. Taken it on 4 trips so far. Twice got slung into the hold on Ryanair at the gate and it's still fine. Light as a feather too.
My main carry on is a John Lewis branded hardshell thing. Lasting well, only lost one rubber bumper so far.
I've got the Osprey Fairpoint 40, great bag
Flashy - it's really for 2-3 day work trips to Europe, London etc. So trains & planes and travelling light.
Suited and booted? Always seems to up the baggage requirement!

I looked at both in a shop and chose the AT45 as it seemed bigger (5L in principle), but also more boxy shape so more efficient to pack. The Osprey seemed better for hiking or whatever.

Very relevant if you need to pack a suit and shirts.
Suit will be worn (when needed) but need to fit an Eagle Creek shirt caddy in it + washbag + laptop
