@out4fun and @Eli thanks so much, that and a review saying the material is 2flimsymakes my mind up that this isn't the bag for me. So i'm looking for a backpack for travelling n wanted an osprey or climbing backpack for comfort. I like the way this opens up all the way around- the only other i can find like this is the waypoint but the pack attached to this one is too small for my laptop-this defeats the point of a day pack for me. So without a day pack is fine- preferably zipped all the way round and durable... any ideas?

Hey Natalie. Yes, look at the Osprey Ariel 65. You will love it. Like Eli says above, you can add a detatchable daypack called the Daylite. The other awesome thing about Osprey is the Warranty: All Mighty Guarantee. NO MATTER WHAT. They take care of you. It's not a "limited lifetime" or "manufacturers defrcts" warranty. It's anything: You're fault, Osprey's fault, the bear's fault... :-) Osprey has you covered! here's a recent pic of me with the Ariel 65 - Stairway to Heaven!

I would first check out the Osprey Ariel 65 for women. (http://www.backcountry.com/osprey-packs-ariel-65-backpack-womens-3800-4200cu-in) It will hold the same amount of gear as the Fairpoint, it has a top pocket that converts to a fanny pack, the AddOn compatibility (attach a Daylite or Solo daypack using the built-in cord loops) as well as the J-panel access which is similar to what you were looking for in having a zipper all the way around. Another option that has everything you are looking for is The North Face Backtrack 50 and 80. I've only found a couple reviews on the 80, which are promising, but I haven't found anything on comfort. Anyone else know much about the TNF Backtrack 80?
