Osprey Packs

Farpoint 55L Backpack

Very happy with this travel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with this travel pack. The little pack is very functional and I used it for a day trip. 2 bottle holders enabled to carry additional bottle for my kid. Lockable zipper was another plus. The size of main pack is perfect as I did not need to check bag.

First Trip

This was my first trip using the Farpoint 55 pack. I just lovecthe way you can hide the pack straps so it fits into the overhead bins. Great pack for traveling

Excellent Backpack for international Travel

I bought this backpack for a 9 day trip to Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands. It was tremendous. The 40-liter primary pack was spacious enough for a lightweight rain jacket, quarter zip, multiple long sleeve sun shirts, 2 pairs of pants, 2 shorts, 2 swimsuits, socks, and Keen sandals. The day pack held my iPad, toiletries and sunscreen, chargers, two books, and the internal laptop sleeve conveniently stored my foldable sun hat. Both packs provided ample space and had room for souvenirs. The zip away shoulder straps allowed the bag to easily fit in the overhead compartment on flights. The day pack was plenty big enough for excursions. The flexibility of the bags made travel on plane, boat and bus very easy. I wore the pack both as one unit and also with the daypack strapped to the front. The solid construction and zippers provided peace of mind. Very pleased with this product.

I prefer the original Farpoint 55

I had purchased the original Farpoint (where the day pack could be attached to the main pack via a zipper). This original version had its problems (i. e. did not match carry on standards, etc) and eventually I had to replace the pack for the newer Farpoint because the day pack wouldn't attach to the main pack anymore (problem with the lining of the zipper). I am pleased and can confirm that Osprey delivered on their promise of a lifetime warranty. I received the new Farpoint 55 and noticed a few changes. The good thing is that it now follows airline carry on size requirements. What I don't like is that there is nothing actually attaches the day pack to the main pack - there are just 2 fastener buckles on the main pack that you put through the day pack to keep them together. The issue here is that if you have some heavier things in your daypack (i. e. laptop, etc), the day pack will slide down and dangle below the main pack. It doesn't feel comfortable nor does it feel really safe to have your items in the day pack (i. e. passport. laptop etc) not really attached to the main pack. Understand that many prefer to carry the day pack in front, but sometimes I travel with a toddler who is already strapped to my front.

Love this backpack. Stylish and

Excellent “one bag” (or technically

Excellent “one bag” (or technically two) for North/South America & Europe. It may be a bit cumbersome for SE Asia, but great for everywhere else and you could probably squeak by there as well. Removable daypack fits under seats perfectly. Great all around bag set up if you want to avoid checking bags. Great suspension on the main bag as well. Nearly as good as my EXOS & Talon backpacking bags and plenty good for train/plane/bus travels. Durable quality and strong zippers. I use it with packing cubes to keep everything organized, which works great. One of the low key best parts is separating the packs before boarding and stowing all the backpack straps. It makes boarding without hitting people with straps a breeze! The internal pockets can replace a tech pouch of needed and the the other internal pouch is great for a catch all or separated dirty clothes. 10/10 would buy it again for sure.

Just perfect for me-- Comfortable

I bought the hype.

I'm not sure this lives up to the hype. I've used it for several overnight and long weekend trips during the 2024 holiday season. While it has accommodated those trips easily, I'm not at all confident it can accommodate a multi-week journey as claimed in reviews in online publications. Additionally, I feel like it needs an instruction manual. There are straps and buckles on the detachable backpack that don't seem to serve any purpose. There are also buckles on the main pack that don't match up to anything that I can find. (If the buckles on the backpack are to match up with buckles on the main bag, they are different sizes and don't connect securely. There are also mysterious half-loops in seemingly random places on the main compartment. Is there a Fairpoint support group on line anywhere? I'm sure this bag will last a long time as it is well constructed. Maybe by the time it starts to wear out, I will have figured out the mystery straps and buckles.

Thoughtful well designed pack and day pack system. Great for long weekend travels via ground and air. Multipurpose capable luggage pack with the removable day pack design. The straps through straps is annoying efficient enough. Hopefully they are durable long term but imagine to be weak point with the amount of use they will see long term. I was able to get into enough storage compartments and zips without taking things apart while in an airport for access to all travel items. A larger item such as a laptop would require multiple straps and zips to be undone/redone. Very doable in a tight space albeit inefficiency in general. The pack looks indistinguishable from other mainstream luggage which attracts less attention. The padded carry handles allowed me to not need to deploy harness/shoulder straps on multiple occasions while fully loaded on a few occasions and while walking 1-2 miles through airports. The day pack is great for light quick carry. It lacks a waist strap for anything more than basic activity uses. I also with the outer fabric was more water resistant or fully waterproof. That's never issue until it is.

A Great Travel Bag Setup

I recently used the Farpoint 55 on a 10 day trip across France. The main bag had plenty of room for all of my clothing and a spare pair of shoes. The day pack was great for stashing a few extra layers and keeping my essentials accessible. Love the ability to carry the entire unit as one backpack, convert the main bag to a carry-on and hide all the straps, as well as front carry the day pack. I used all three configurations on my trip. So glad I went with this over a roller bag.
