Wow. I'm very impressed with this travel pack. My only requirements is that it has to be carryon only. I didn't want to check bags in and the Osprey Farpoint 55L meets those requirements. This travel pack separates into 2. A 45L main compartment and a 10L day bag. I do have another travel\camera pack from Nomatic, but it's way too bulky and for 35L pack, it didn't feel like a 35L bag.I was a bit hesitant at first if this travel pack would fit my winter clothing (2 snow pants, 1 jacket, a few layers, etc) for 9 days. But worry no more. I had room for all my stuff and more in the 45L bag. The interior straps were very useful along with compression bags (sold separately). I was able to compress and fit more stuff into the 45L bag. In the 10L bag, I was able to carry ... MoreWow. I'm very impressed with this travel pack.

I was pushing both bags to the limit, but I managed to get everything working.The 45L was pretty comfortable to wear after loading it up. I didn't feel fatigued or have any back strain. The only time I did was when I attached the 10L pack in front of me, but I had a camera, 3 lens and a laptop. The 10L pack clips into the main bag's shoulder strap. With this being said, it transfers the weight distribution towards the front. Your mileage may vary.Compartments in both are a bit spare. The 10L bag has a laptop sleeve, a small interior pocket and a main pocket. Exterior has 2 mesh pockets. The 45L only has an interior wall pocket and a mesh pocket on the access lid.I've docked a star off. I think previous version of this travel pack had exterior clips or cords where you can attach a tripod or sleeping bag? I understand this travel pack is made to be a carry on, but it would be nice to have additional straps/clips/storage if I'm not flying.I highly recommend this travel pack if you're like me and don't want to check any bags in, looking for ample space to carry your stuff, and something that isn't too flashy or over the top.

I can't say enough how much I love this pack. I loved the Farpoint 40 and debated upgrading for a long time. I'm never looking back.Pros:- The 15L day-pack is the game-changer. With the Farpoint 40, I had to put everything overhead--which made getting my in-flight stuff for boarding and deplaning complex. Now, I put the 40L pack overhead and have the 15L under my seat for what I need in-transit.- 15L is just two pockets--but I like that simplicity. There's a slash pocket for quick-access items and a big main pocket that holds my 16" laptop, iPad and/or kindle easy.- 15L has a hole for your water bladder. It truly can be a travel or hiking day-pack.- The water bottle pockets on the 15L pack fit my yeti nicely.- 40L main pack is big and simple with 2 ... MoreI can't say enough how much I love this pack.

(They may have updated the 40 to be O/S)- external compression straps cinch things down nice. Stowaway backpack straps make storing the pack simple.Cons:- I really miss Farpoint 40's duffel strap. If you aren't using the 55's backpack straps, you have to hand-carry. With the 40, you can put it over your shoulder.- Farpoint 40 has a big mesh pocket on the back-side of its flap that I liked for storing dirty clothes. The 55 puts it on the side and I think it's smaller.Overall, I loved the 40 but I feel the 55 gives you everything you need for travel, commute, backpacking, whatever. I take the day pack everywhere every day now.

Did a load of research and decided I needed a crossover between a rucksack and suitcase for a long trip for business with a month backpacking vacation at the end of it - the suitcase is nice and big and feels durable and suits me perfectly - it’s adjustable which is great. However I did run into a problem when it was raining at the airport I was flying from in SE Asia. I checked it in and the baggage handlers obviously left the bags outside for maybe 10/20 mins and my belongings were absolutely SOAKED through - I really thought for the price point it’d be able to handle some rain, and the aircover that I found out Osprey sell separately is expensive for what it is - a waterproof cover.

Happy with the overall rucksack but really wish it was waterproof and trying to find the osprey aircover or anything similar in southeast asia has been an actual nightmare, need to start wrapping my clothes in waterproof bags before I pack them. Overall pleased with the size/shape etc but slightly disappointed at my clothes being soaked, probably would have gone for something cheaper which I knew was waterproof - for the size you won’t be carrying it around on your back for extended periods of time as 80l is heavy so I’d recommend looking for something waterproof for se asia or something smaller that you can take as cabin baggage in so it doesn’t get exposed to rain.

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 ... MoreI took this bag on a months long trip around Europe: lots of waking as well as plane, train, and bus travel.

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.
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.
Purchased Farpoint 55 for me and Faipoint 55 for the wife in summer 2022. We have taken trips to Alaska (multi city), Barbados, Hawaii (multi island), Viet Nam (multi city), Costa Rica (multi city), and Iceland (multi AirBnB). We are able to pack all we need in these bags and do carry on. So we are able to clear the airport quickly bypassing baggage claim. We had just returned from a Hawaii trip where we had checked our bags and a coworker described these bags to me. Found the bags locally and presented the idea to my wife. She looked at me in disbelief. But then she pulled the stuff out of her Hawaii check bag and placed only the stuff she actually used on the trip into her bag. She had room to spare in the new bag. So we have "gone for it" and now use these bags ... MorePurchased Farpoint 55 for me and Faipoint 55 for the wife in summer 2022.

She looked at me in disbelief. But then she pulled the stuff out of her Hawaii check bag and placed only the stuff she actually used on the trip into her bag. She had room to spare in the new bag. So we have "gone for it" and now use these bags for all our trips (Except if we are doing a car trip for a weekend, we are sloppy and use the old bags bringing more junk than we need or use!). My loaded bags run about 35 lbs and my wife (with laptop) runs about 28 lbs. Big bags go in the over head - small bags go under the seat on the airplane. Sometimes we double the bags. Sometimes we have the big bags on our backs and carry the small bags. Sometimes we have the big bag on bag and use the clips to put small bag on the front/belly. A lot of versatility if you are willing to carry instead of roll your luggage. We can move agilely through airports and train stations.
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.
Deceptively small bag; no give or manouverability and the side compartments seem pointless.If you fill the side compartments you’ll compromise space in the main space of the bag or on the top compartment. Spent more time taking stuff out the bag than I have putting in.Extra bag detachment is great and it does deserve a purpose as a whole but for the price I was expecting more from it. Not the most comfortable bag personally to wear but that could be personal preference so don’t hold to much to that comment.Would probably suggest shopping around first before coming back to this bag if can’t find anything else, but wouldn’t be my first choice
Having read a tonne of reviews, I was surprised when the Farpoint arrived. For a start, even with adjustments it was very uncomfortable if you are over 6ft, it was incredibly small considering its a 55L and you end up with the hip belt tied around your stomach (Perhaps I should have checked it out in person). The day pack doesn't attach properly to the main pack, instead its held by two clips which means it moves around frequently. The day pack itself is very small, even for a 15 litre, not sure you could fit much in there. It also only has 1 main compartment and 1 side compartment. For a bag like this when you are travelling you want to have different sections rather than dumping all your valuables into one place. The main pack also only has 1 inner compartment, ... MoreHaving read a tonne of reviews, I was surprised when the Farpoint arrived.

The main pack also only has 1 inner compartment, you will need packing cubes if you want to organise anything. The ID section for storing your ID is open with no zip and not see through. This means it's unlikely that anyone can find it and could even fall out, I wouldn't trust putting my ID there.Overall very disappointing.
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 ... MoreI just returned from traveling through Eastern France using my new Farpoint 55.

It was ideal!
