Good pack, but get the 40L version
David And
2 years ago
I took this bag on a months long trip around Europe: lots of waking as well as plane, train, and bus travel. The main bag is great, but the daypack not so much.. ----MAIN BAG: Starting with the main bag, the harness system has a lot of adjustment, which means it can take some time to get dialed in, but once fitting well it was secure and comfortable. Day long hikes with 25+ pounds were not an issue thanks to the well designed load lifters and hip belt. If you are looking for a pack of this size, you DEFINITELY want a hip belt and load lifters, ignore any pack that skips these features, it will hurt your shoulders after 20 minutes. The flap that zips over the straps was handy a few times when I had to check the bag, and the pocket it folds into is big enough to also store a rain cover for wet days. The handles are nice and padded, but I wish there were more on other sides of the bag. Organization is another weak point of the bag - there is minimal internal organization, so I would recommend compression sacks or packing cubes to keep small things from getting lost, and there are no external pockets to speak of. In a future revision I hope they add features like the laptop sleeve and water bottle pockets of the 40L version to this one. Overall the zippers, fabric, and buckles seem durable with minimal signs of wear after a few months of use. ----DAYPACK: Having a daypack that seamlessly integrates with a larger bag is a good idea, but imo this is a very poor execution. The farpoint daypack is too small to be useful for what I like to carry. The bag only opens at the top, which means it is very difficult to get to things at the bottom, and the external pockets cannot be used if the main compartment is full. The shoulder straps are too narrow on my smaller than average (male) frame, and will likely be worse for anyone with a larger torso. I assume all of these decisions are to help it integrate with the main pack, but it is way too big of a compromise in my opinion. Apologies to the designers, but if you want to carry more than a jacket, a water bottle, and some snacks it's hard to think of a single positive thing to say about this daypack. ----TLDR: The main pack is good, but the daypack is next to useless for me, so I would recommend saving your money and going with the 40L version of the Farpoint/Fairview if you want a travel bag from Osprey.

Good for Europe/hiking trips

1 year ago

Got this for the Wicklow Way in Ireland. Works great, and yes, the 15 liter daypack IS useful. Ignore the other reviewer than said to just get the 40 liter. Both serve their purpose, and it’s cool they link together.

FANTASTIC travel pack. Highly recommend

1 year ago

Best pack I've owned, incredible. If you only want one laptop sleeve, this is the setup for you. The water bottle holders are very functional, zippers are very nice, daypack is great (I love having all my personal items like my laptop handy in that bag for flights), and shoulders stow nicely in case you need to check the main bag on smaller or fully booked airlines. Everything is high quality, and honestly this pack is beautiful. I would but this pack again in a heartbeat... but I doubt I will need to replace it as Osprey offers a superb lifetime warranty. 10/10 (Not a sponsored add, I just really love this pack!)

Nearly perfect backpacks.

1 year ago

We purchased the men's and women's for a tour of Scotland. Both bags are working out great, with two exceptions. An integrated rain cover for the day bag would be a plus but what we really miss is small external loops on the day bag. There are five on the larger backpack, none on the day bag. The larger pull through sections that the straps go through to secure the smaller day bag to the larger backpack could be used but they are too wide for most carabiners that we have on hand. A bungee is needed to then attach other items to the bungee. Small loops would be perfect on the smaller day bag, it is surprising that there are none.

Great combo carry-on and day pack

1 year ago

I used this pack on a 10 day trip to Italy which involved daily day hikes in the country side as well as 3 days in Rome. I found the combo pack easy to use and answered my needs very well. When separated, the main pack fits easily in the overhead bins while the day pack easily goes under the seat. It was quick and easy to put them together and wear it as one backpack when traversing the airport on walking into hotel accommodations that were not accessible by the van. I could pack my hiking boots and plenty of wash and dry clothes in the main pack and the day pack is plenty big for water, rain gear and snacks. It does not have wheels which is ok with me….that reduces weight and reduces metal parts that tend to tear through fabric.

Great pack for people of all sizes

2 years ago

I have taken this pack on two long weekend trips so far, one by air. The main pack fits well in the overhead, and the day pack was just right for under the seat in front of me. I'm 6'6" tall, and this pack adjustable enough to fit my frame. The shoulder and hop straps are all very comfortable, and the pack feels good on my back even when it is fully loaded. I look forward to using this pack on a longer trip this summer.

Well built, versatile, comfortable, my favorite

1 month ago

I wore this pack for 500 miles on Camino Frances, it was perfect for me. I never weighed my full pack, but the first week, the weight was oppresive! (had to carry a CPAP and a laptop) By the end of the trip, it weighed the same, but it was no longer an issue. In other words, the pack itself never failed, never caused discomfort, and in fact made it easier with the fact that the smaller pack could be clipped on the shoulder straps and worn in the front, at times this was just what I needed. I am going again and it will be on my back (and front) for my 7th camino. Also it was perfect for air travel, separated it is a carryon and a personal item..

Superb backpack for travel for all ages!

2 years ago

I just returned from traveling through Eastern France using my new Farpoint 55. After having the pack for to my torso, it was extremely comfortable compared to what I’ve been using for international travel and easily fit separately into airlines overhead bins. On this trip, the combined weight of primary pack and the attached daypack was right at 30 lbs. I walked for many miles with the heavy pack, in an upright posture. I never ever felt stress on my shoulders or back as the primary weight was more on my hips. I even hurt my knee and ankle after a fall on the second day of travel but I never felt the backpack was hindering the comfort as I walked. The lighter daypack was perfect as I carried miscellaneous stuff in it including a digital SLR and three lenses. I couldn’t stop thanking my daughter and son in law for this backpack gift while I was on the tour. It was ideal!

I’ve used this bag around

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used this bag around 10 times since the start of 2024. My favorite bag for traveling. Fit all my work stuff into the detached pack, work clothes in the main pack in the event my checked bag doesn’t show on time. The organization between the two packs is efficient and helpful. Osprey did it right. For ski trips, I attach my Kamber 30 pack to the main Farpoint pack while traveling. I love how they set it up to use more than one day pack as an attachment. It’s great for flights and 3 day weekend trips. I won’t travel without it. If I had one criticism (and this is nitpicking off my ocd) put handles on both sides of the bag for brief case carry mode.

Great pack for jetsetters

1 year ago

This is an excellent bag for jet setting. Currently writing this review mid-trip and enjoying the flexibility and comfort of the bag. Carrying the bag fully loaded is comfortable and easy on the back. The bag holds enough clothes for 7-10 days of travel, along with toiletries. The attached daypack is easily detachable and perfect for a day’s urban hike in the city.
