Farpoint 55
For where wheels won't go. The Farpoint 55 is our lightest travel backpack yet. Featuring a zip-away spacer mesh ventilated backpanel, the Farpoint can be carried like a backpack but packed like a suitcase. The strong and durable backsystem means you can carry your gear comfortably when travelling between hotels, the airport or beyond. Cushioned carry handles on the top and the sides allow you to easily grab the travel pack off airport baggage carousels. Your gear is readily to hand, with the inclusion of a large zippered lockable opening that allows access to the main compartment. The compression straps are also used to attach and secure a 13L 'zip and clip' daypack, which includes all the organisation, you'll ever need; a top stash pocket for electronics and sunglasses, dual side pockets and a laptop sleeve. The daypack can also clip onto the harness of the main pack, in a 'kangaroo' style attachment. This provides a very secure way to carry your daypack when you want to keep your valuables or tickets to hand. Inside the main cargo bag is a mesh pocket ideal to separate dirty clothes and shoes. Internal compression straps fully maximise the capacity whilst securing your gear. For overnight trips attach a sleeping pad to the lower external straps. With all the organisation and clever features you need, it's time to share your next adventure with a Farpoint 55 backpack.

Great pack pack with easy access especially when used with packing cubes for organising your kit.
This is an exceptionally well designed back pack. The small day pack fits well onto the main pack, and is also big enough for carrying essentials during the day. The way the day pack clips onto the front harness is good both for balancing weight and keeping your valuables in front of you when walking. The only slight criticism is that the webbing for caring bottles on the outside of the pack is too small/tight for large bottles. This is an improvement that could be easily made to the design. The way the straps pack away into the back is great for easy carrying on transport and also for flights
Thinking of buying this product
The airlines i typically use often require a height below 55cm, when the main backpack isn't packed fully can it be compressed to fit the go/no go bag cages some airlines use to check size or does the internal frame prevent this
Osprey Customer Service,
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for taking the time to write a review for the Farpoint 55.
The Farpoint 55 cannot be compressed any smaller than 65cm in height because of the very rigid frame, even when the pack is not totally full.
However, we do have the Farpoint 40 available from the same series that has specifically been designed as a piece of carry-on luggage. This is compliant with the majority of EU airline restrictions.
Regards,
Osprey Customer Service
Works fine!
One week on the road and much less adventure than getting UPS to do the delivery (and lose the totebag).
Qatar Air accepted the main part as hand luggage no problem.

It's great... Just one flaw
Bought to reduce my pack size whilst heading round parts of Asia. The pack put together is comfortable to wear, the front loading is easy to access, the ability to hide the straps was great for loading onto the plane / busses / trains et.c The day pack is easy to remove from the main and has a good size, could do with more pockets inside though.
The problem I encountered was the material the day pack was made of in contact with your back has ruined every t shirt I had with me as it rubbed the material so much. It's tough and durable but it's also fairly rough.
Would still recommend the purchase though.
