I'm comparing this with the Solaris 35 for a 2week trip backpacking Europe (travel backpacking, not trail backpacking). I'm looking for something I could use as a carry-on on flights mainly. Since both bags have the same capacity, which one would be more ideal for a trip like this?

Man if I were you I would buy the Solaris because 1. It has a better hip belt and this will take alot of the weight off your shoulder when you walking around everywhere and will help alot! 2. It has a lower compartment access so you can get to the stuff in the bottom of your back without having to go through your whole pack. 3. It is hydration compatible so if you want to you can throw you a bladder in there and keep some water with you at all times so you can grab a drink when you need it. 4. Finally the mesh where your back is up against the pack on the solaris is gonna let your sweat evaporate quicker. Hope that helps
