Travel

The key question you need to ask yourself when looking at our travel packs is quite simple, how much gear do you want to take with you on your trip?

30 – 65L

If you’re looking at a potential short break you may wish to just take hand luggage with you. These packs will be between 30 – 45 litres. You can head over to our EU carry on guide where we’ve listed our best carry on packs and a helpful airline sizing guide.

If you plan on doing a lot of exploring and wish to take with you more than just hand luggage then one of our travel packs with a removable day pack would be useful. The Farpoint 55, for example, is a 55-litre pack but it has a 13-litre daypack that can be used as hand luggage and for excursions away from your accommodation. The main pack itself is 42 litres bringing the total up to 55.

65L +

When it comes to the difference between larger and medium sized travel packs personal preference plays a key role; whether you just want to take the basics with you or if you want to be able to take a few luxuries with you. Some people would be comfortable using the Farpoint 55 for a 6-month travelling trip while others might prefer a Farpoint 70 for a 2 week holiday.

Backpacking

As with hiking, the volume size you will want to take with you depends on the kind of adventure and where it will be.

Backpacking: 50 – 75L

Planning an extended backpacking trip? Then this is likely to be your volume category. These packs will be roomy enough to carry your additional equipment while also having the load carrying ability, and comfort, to support you.

Expeditions: 75L+

In the upper end of our backpacking volumes are our expedition packs. The high capacity packs have significant load carry ability and are perfect for long distance, long duration expeditions that require significant amounts of gear.
