Farpoint 55 Travel Pack

Sold the Farpoint 55 because heavy items such as a laptop had to be dug out from under everything and it was less comfortable than a real hiking pack.

“I used to have a Farpoint. The heaviest things are supposed to be stored next to you back.”

Calls the Farpoint 55 perfect: the 40L body plus the 15L daypack hold everything he needs.

“I have the Farpoint 55 (basically a Farpoint 40 without the laptop compartment + a 15L daypack) and it's perfect.”

Took the Farpoint 55 to Japan for 20 days and found it more room than needed even with the daypack tucked inside.

“I made a trip the same length this time last year in my farpoint 55 (40L main bag with detachable 15L daypack) and it was more room than I needed even with the daypack”

Regrets her older Farpoint 55 with daypack because its dimensions are slightly too big for carry-on.

“I have an older Farpoint 55 w/daypack: I regret not buying a bag that is carry-on size because the one I have has the wrong dimensions.”

Used the Farpoint 55 in Athens and found the two front mesh pockets pretty useless when the bag is packed out.

“I used a Farpoint 55 for a trip to Athens, and when packed out, the 2 mesh pockets in the front were pretty useless save for stuffing in small items like candy or knickknacks.”

Has used his Farpoint 55 for about five years and always uses the detachable daypack, which holds his laptop, jacket and documents.

“I've used this bag for around five years and I've never not used the daypack. It's always holding something like my laptop, a jacket, important documents, even water bottles.”

Likes the Farpoint 55L with detachable daypack; no carry-on problems on several airlines during 3.5 weeks in Thailand and Vietnam.

“I like the osprey farpoint 55l with the detachable day back. No problem as a carry on for United, Singapore airlines, Vietnam airlines, Asiana airlines, and a few others.”

“I took a Farpoint 55 with a Daylite as my plane bag to the UK in October, and I found the weight distribution to be kinda rough. I had a”

Carried his old Farpoint 55 onto JetBlue, Delta and Alaska flights and finds the harness system amazing, though organization is limited.

“I've been able to carry on my old FP 55 on JetBlue, Delta and Alaska airlines - only airlines I use domestically. That said, I've packed it to the gills”

Calls the old Farpoint 55 a solid bag but too long for carry-on even at about 42L.

“I own the old FP55 and the Porter 46. The old FP55 is a solid bag but too long for carryon even though it’s only around 42L.”

Used to own the Farpoint 55 and found the shoulder straps and internal frame very comfortable at 6 feet with broad shoulders.

“I used to own the Farpoint 55 and a friend has the Farpoint 40 and the shoulder straps internal frame are very comfortable for me.”

Uses the Farpoint 55 as a one-bagger, snapping off the 15L daypack before boarding, and says it works great.

“I have the 55 and use it as a one bagger for those two.  I snap the 15l off the bag before boarding and it works great for me personally.”

Owns the Farpoint 40 and 55, loves the 55 more because the removable daypack is usually exactly what he needs on domestic flights.

“I own both and love the 55L more. It is my first choice because the removable daypack is usually exactly what I need, particularly for flights stateside.”

Has carried the Farpoint 55 onto overseas flights but has also been turned back to check it in.

“Gotten away with Farpoint 55L carry on for overseas flights and also been turned back to check in. I've been thinking about downsizing but havent found anything I like. the Farpoint 40L isnt it for me.”

“I’ve taken my Farpoint 55 with me on numerous international and domestic flights as a carryon and never had any problems.”

Has had no problems carrying the Farpoint 55 on in Europe and Asia by detaching the daypack module.

“I've had no problems traveling in Europe/Asia with Farpoint 55 as a carry on. You just detach the module and strap it up. It fits neatly, you only have to watch the weight.”

Chose the Farpoint 55 for its comfort because of back issues and found the hip belt takes a lot of the weight on long walks.

“The reason we got it is because of reviews on its comfort, I have back issues and from the reviews this was the most confortable one. We had long walks”

Has flown three domestic American Airlines flights with the Farpoint 55 as a carry-on with no issues.

“I fly domestically with American Airlines and haven't had any issues for 3 flights now with my Farpoint 55 as a carry on/personal item.”

After four months with the Farpoint 55 found it too big to wear comfortably, carrying the main pack like a duffel.

“I travelled for 4 months with it, and my thoughts are:”

Has found the Farpoint 55 excellent but would size down because fully packed it does not qualify as carry-on.

“I have the 55 and it's been excellent, but I would buy a different bag knowing what I do now. I'd go a size smaller as fully packed this doesn't”

Is on a five-to-six-month SEA trip with the Farpoint 55, regrets the size but likes the bag and recommends it.

“I have the 55L with me at the moment on a 5-6 month trip around SEA and I'm regretting my decision as something smaller would of been a better choice.”

Used the Farpoint 55 and found it fine and usually carry-on, though technically too tall and bigger than he needed.

After months in Southeast Asia calls the new Farpoint 55 perfect in size, comfortable, durable and well built, though the daypack is cumbersome to attach when full.

“I’ve never had a problem with it on US budget airlines”

Flew all over the globe with her Farpoint 55 for 13 years after removing the wire frame; the hip strap still worked great and she liked the bag better.

“have flown all over the globe with it. i liked the bag so much better too, and i cant even tell you if it impacted the weight/carry functionality at all”

After 18 months in Latin America with the Farpoint 55 found it not comfortable beyond an hour or two and moved to a Kelty.

“I spent 18 months backpacking through Latin America with the Osprey Farpoint 55, and changed to the Kelty 50 when I went to Asia / Europe for another 18 months.”

Loves the Farpoint 55 for its detachable small bag as an under-seat and day pack; super comfortable and flawless across several Southeast Asian countries.

Her Farpoint 55 is still her favorite bag and the most comfortable she has carried, though it is too big for most trips.

“My Farpoint 55 is still my favorite bag if only because for me, it's the most comfortable bag I've ever carried.”

Traveled three months in Thailand and India with the Farpoint 55; it worked okay but he was frequently repacking because it only opens from the top, and he used the daypack for outings.

Calls the Farpoint 55 pretty solid, using the daypack for his laptop and notebooks and the big pack for gym clothes and gear.

“I have the 55L Farpoint and it's pretty solid. I use the daypack for my laptop”

Says the Farpoint's daypack attaches and detaches easily and he likes it because it balances the load and makes carrying more comfortable, though a lower attachment point would stop swinging.

“The Farpoint attaches and detaches easily. It would've been better with a secondary attachment point on the bottom to prevent swinging. There's no way to not look nerdy carrying a”
