| Specification | American Tourister Fieldbrook 3-Piece Luggage Set | Osprey Farpoint 40 Travel Carry-On Backpack |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹14,990 | ₹15,490 |
| Weight | Set total about 9 kg | 1.5 kg |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Cabin fit | not published | 54 x 35 x 23 cm, which is within the usual Indian 55 x 35 x 25 cm -- unusually, this one does fit |
| Capacity | not published | 40 litres |
| Expandability | None | not published |
| Hip belt | not published | Padded and load-bearing, which is the difference from every other bag in this department -- it transfers weight to the pelvis rather than the shoulders |
| Opening | not published | Clamshell, so it opens flat like a suitcase rather than top-loading |
| Pieces | A boarding bag, and two upright cases | not published |
| Shell | Softside polyester, which absorbs impact but also absorbs water | not published |
| Stowaway harness | not published | Straps and belt zip away behind a panel, so it can be checked without straps catching |
| Weight limit reminder | not published | 7 kg cabin on most Indian carriers, and 40 litres packed will exceed it |
| Wheels | Two-wheel rolling, not four-wheel spinner -- so they tilt and pull rather than gliding upright | not published |
| Which is cabin legal | Only the smallest piece approaches cabin dimensions. Three-piece sets are marketed as though all three travel with you, and they do not | not published |
| Why that matters | not published | Above about 8 kg, a bag without a hip belt is carried entirely by the shoulders and spine. A hip belt moves most of it to the hips |
| Why two wheels | Two-wheel cases handle uneven Indian pavements better than spinners, which snag | not published |
Every row is a figure one or both products record. A blank is a figure the catalogue does not hold, not a zero.
