Osprey Europe Men's Farpoint 55 Travel Pack

Product Information

They do look a bit similar in pictures, but the Farpoint is absolutely NOT as structured or as stiff as the Porter. A padded hip belt is nice because it takes the load off your shoulders and transfers it to your hips.

Also, the Farpoint has a more substantial backpanel than the Osprey Porter 46, so we didn't have to pay as much attention to what we packed against our backs to ensure awkwardly shaped, hard objects didn't end up protruding into our backs. Clearly, Osprey agrees as they’ve equipped the Farpoint 55 with an inconspicuous rescue whistle right on the chest strap. After trying out a few, I decided upon the Farpoint 55; it’s nice to know that you’re so happy with it! You can take the daypack off and have a supremely comfortable fast-and-light pack option as well, for toting around town, or to take on a short bike tour or day hike--this pack covers comfort at both ends of the pack weight spectrum.What I usually just do is travel with the Farpoint 40 (or any carry-on really) and carry a daypack by the handle, or ‘double strap’ it with the daypack in front of my body — at least for those short periods of time in transit where you might have to carry both at the same time. The main bag is carry-on and the entire harness can be stowed neatly behind a zipped panel — ideal for when you’re checking it in or want to carry it by the handle without any straps dangling around.

This feature means you don't have to the shoulder straps of the day pack behind your shoulders, which then pulls your shoulders in opposing directions. I use a Kestrel 38 which is a great size for carry-on but still rugged and comfortable enough for serious trekking. You did mention that the Farpoint/Fairview 40 is a size more suited for summer in Eu or trips in Asia. The Farpoint 55 comes with a fully detachable dayback that gives you ultimate flexibility with your travels. The standard set of gear, top, was packed into each bag to compare capacities with an actual load rather than relying on the company's reported volume numbers.

I very rarely attach the daypack to the front or the back anyway, just carry it by the handle or I ‘double strap’ it for turtle shell style carry if needed for a short while. Install the Airalo app, which provides local eSIMs for a more affordable internet connection when traveling.

Does any of you have experiences with the Osprey daypack exceeding the limits, especially with Ryanair? I think FP40 + Daylite Plus is a pretty strong option because the FP40 is more complete as a standalone pack.But of course you can use that pouch when using the 40 on its own, and not use it when using it with the daypack. To resolve your query efficiently we use a claim form and case / ticket system, complete the form, add all the details required, and we'll get straight on to sorting it out. I’ll breakdown what I love about the Osprey Farpoint 55, my experience with it, and everything you need to know to decide if it’s the right backpack for you. If you like your current Fairview perhaps the front clip is not a big enough reason by itself to upgrade/change. The Osprey Farpoint 55 and the daypack that comes with it are all I pack up and bring with me on our five or seven or even ten-month trips around the world.

It also opens suitcase-style from the side and not from the top, so you can always access everything very easily. One of the main reasons I chose the Osprey Farpoint 55 backpack is that the main pack is a 40L bag with a detachable daypack of 15L. Plus, with the integration of the daypack, you have a built-in option for day trips where you don’t want a big bag. Well, the Fairview 40 has slightly smaller dimensions, but has been made more comfortable as it is designed for the female body.There are still a lot of old reviews out there of the previous pre-2022 designs of the Farpoint 40 and Farpoint 55. It is perfect for adventurers who get off the beaten track and need to lug a lot of kit to their destination.
