Osprey Europe Men's Farpoint 55 Travel Pack

Excellent pack. I read lots of reviews about travel backpacks and this and its little sibling (the farpoint 40) were the most talked about. I have taken this away on multiple trips but it really came into its own on a holiday to SE Asia. Easy to handle getting in & out/ on & off buses and taxis. The straps fold away nicely so that they are safe from deadly backpack ripping airport carousels. Easy to pack/unpack (especially when using packing cubes). I have used the daysack attachment everyday for work for the last year + and I would be lost without it. both are very comfortable when fully loaded. The only minor snag I would say is that the material on the back of the daysack makes my shirt ride up every 5 minutes, so I forever pulling my shirt down - a minor inconvenience. Absolutely love it. Would recommend in a heart beat.

This is a great rucksack and was perfect for my backpacking trip around Australasia. The front opening made it super easy to repack- really handy when moving between different hostels every other day! The size was perfect for my 2- month long trip as it was slightly small- this stopped me over-packing like I usually do and saved me having to carry around a ridiculously sized pack on my back (my friend carried an 90L backpack and she could hardly lift it). Delivery was prompt although there was probably a bit too much packaging. Couldn't recommend this product enough though!

Probably a little bit for me, making the bag a little less comfortable than it could be (I’m 5’4 for reference) but it’s super durable and there is plenty of space inside for everything. All straps are adjustable which is handy and the detachable daypack is my favourite feature, such a good idea for day trips

Recently purchased this ahead of a trip and generally faired well, however disappointingly a few days into its first backpacking trip one of the inner zips in the daypack broke. This makes it much more difficult to use this compartment and overall given the price of this backpack you would expect it to be able to fair much better with normal use.

Not disappointed by Osprey! I've had a Farpoint 40 for a few years now and used it as a work bag and for aircraft carry-on baggage which is where these bags excel. Being able to zip away all the straps and use the side handle is a feature every manufacturer should implement. I can't remember it leaking, nothing has broken or frayed and so I've bought the '55' model. This version has a zip on day bag which, disappointingly attaches 3/4 of the way around so the space between the bags can't be used for stowing more goodies. I'll put a hydration pack in there so the space isn't completely wasted. I bought the Small fitting bag as I'm tall and thin. The straps all adjust nicely to my body, only the shoulder strap tensioners slip so I'll tape them in place along with the other spare ends. I have no reservations about recommending the Farpoint bags. Sure, you can buy cheaper but this is definitely worth the money.

Wonderful and magnificent bag! The only downside were that the front backpack is now quite difficult to start the zip. This may be dirt but the other zips work well. I would have also appreciated a couple more inner pockets but other than that this bag is incredible. Ive taken it around asia for 3 months where its been chucked about, abused, strapped to the back of a motorbike for several days across harsh Nepalise roads and its come back 100% intact. I kept both bags at brimming maximum capacity for 99% of all my trips. Love this and will keep it for all future trips.

Perfect bag for our travels this summer with the dog. Big and comfortable yet never felt like it was in the way. the straps for the upper and lower back are very comfy on the body, aswell as the carrying handles which are padded. We made plenty of use of the detachable bag on the front. Id say perfect for any weekend national travels.

So to get right to the point, I bought this for me, and bought my wife the Fairview 70. We went for a trip to London. My wife complained of severe shoulder pain wearing her heavy women's fit Osprey Fairview 70. What happened? We ended up swapping. The Osprey Farpoint 55 looked much more comfortable on her and her facial expression was much more relaxed. I don't know if it is the thicker straps, or the better design of the Farpoint, but my wife said she felt her back supporting the weight, and not pulling on her shoulders. As for me, I was stuck with her Osprey Fairview and I know it is supposed to be a women's fit, but it was sore on me as well as her. It was agony! The Osprey Farpoint is possibly the best heavy duty backpack for its straps, design, centre of gravity being closer to your back (the 70 might be further away), plus having features like the 'day pack'. It lives up to its Hype, unlike the Fairview 70, regardless if you are male or female. If you are a lady, you may actually find the Farpoint 55 much more comfortable than the Fairview range, despite the Fairview being technically a 'womens fit'. My wife said she will be happy to go backpacking again provided I buy her either a case on wheels, or a Farpoint 55.

ME GUSTO MUCHO EL DISEÑO, LA FORTALEZA DE SUS MATERIALES Y EL HECHO DE QUE SEA DOS EN UNA, YA QUE PUEDES DESMONTAR LA MOCHILA DE 15 LTS PARA ACTIVIDADES CERCANAS, PARA MI ES ESCENCIAL QUE LA PUEDA LLEVAR CONMIGO EN EL AVION Y PASA PERFECTAMENTE LAS ESPECIFICACIONES DE LAS AEROLINEAS.

Product is as expected. Good quality

La mochila es muy bonita y se nota que la calidad de la mochila es muy buena. Mido 1.80 m y de complexión delgada… compré la talla M/L y la sentí un poco grande de tamaño, creo que la talla S/M se hubiera ajustado mejor a mi complexión y tamaño. Tengo planeado hacer un viaje a América del Sur por lo que aún no la he probado, pero se siente muy bien la mochila. Cuenta con una mochila pequeña que se puede desprender de la mochila grande, además de que tiene compartimento para una laptop. El compartimiento principal no tiene divisiones por lo que tienes que comprar “packing cubes” para organizar tus pertenencias.

Muito boa, ótimo acabamento, materiais resistentes, boa distribuição de espaços, leve e o mais importante para mim, tamanho adequado a bagagem de mão em aviões.

I’ll admit that I was hesitant when it came to purchasing a travel bag. I did endless amounts of research, went to stores to see them in person, and then did even more research. Well, I chose right. I LOVED this bag. It came with me on a three week tour of Europe where I put it through the ringer. I flew out on TAP Portugal who would not let me take it as a carry on. When full it was a little large for their taste but the zip off day pack was key. I was able to dethatch it and keep all of my important items with me for the flight while I converted the main bag into luggage mode and sent it on its way. The zip on cover for the straps was important to me because I have in the past had luggage get snagged during transit. On one occasion it was a snowboard bag and almost the entire strap had been ripped from the bag. With the Farpoint’s cover, I was comfortable in knowing that I was in the clear. Once I arrived in Europe, it took only seconds to reattach the day pack and be on my way. Over the course of my trip, the items that I accumulated filled this bag to bursting. I had to kneel on it to get it closed on my final day. I put a lot of stress on the zippers but they are heavy quality. Pros: Front panel access. You don’t realize how important this is until you lack it. My travel companions didn’t have it and watching them try to find something in their bag was a sight. Osprey Packs Farpoint 55 Travel Backpack, Volcanic Grey, Medium/Large Side carry handle. Was nice when you wanted to give the shoulders/hips a rest or just didn’t have the time or need to fully wear the bag. Very comfortable. The bag sat perfectly on my hips and I was able to walk long distances with no discomfort. Locking zippers. People have sticky fingers. Sure, they could always cut the bag but the large percentage of thieves are looking for the quick and discrete score. Being able to put a lock on both bags gave me good piece of mind. Warranty. Osprey calls it the All Mighty Guarantee: Any Reason, Any Product, Any Era. This is huge. I beat the hell out of my bag(not intentionally) and it held up but knowing that it would be replaced free of charge if it ripped or a zipper burst puts the mind at ease. It also shows the faith that they put in their product. Cons: Color. Volcanic grey was my favorite of the available colors but I wasn’t in love with it. There should have been more color options. I’d have preferred a true black. Size. It was BARELY too large to be used as my carry on. I always sleep easier on the plane when I have all of my stuff with me. Outer net pockets. They were a touch small. When my bag was filled to the brim, especially during the end of the trip, there was very little that I could fit inside of them.
