Farpoint 70

Ho sempre preferito lo zaino anche nei miei viaggi "cittadini": con il Fairpoint 70 ho finalmente trovato lo zaino definitivo.
Curato nei dettagli, ben organizzato e con materiali di qualità, la fama di Osprey non si smentisce neanche in questo prodotto; questo modello mi piace soprattutto per l'apertura a valigia e perché non ci sono stati compromessi per rendere gli spallacci a scomparsa: lo zaino rimane comodo, bilanciato e ben sostenuto come uno zaino "tradizionale".
Avendo già borse molto capienti, mi serviva una capacità media per cui sono stato inizialmente indeciso tra la versione da 55L o questa da 70L. Alla fine guardando le misure, mi sono reso conto che i due modelli hanno un ingombro simile, differiscono in pratica solo nella profondità, per questo mi sono orientato sulla versione più capiente delle due. A zaino non completamente pieno la differenza per me non è così evidente, con il vantaggio di avere qualche litro in più quando dovesse servire. Da tenere conto poi che la capienza è quella totale tra lo zaino principale ed il daypack (altro grande vantaggio di questo modello: uno zainetto per tutti i giorni che può letteralmente scomparire e diventare un tutt'uno con lo zaino principale ed essere usato come scomparto separato).
Consigliatissimo.

Overall Quality (fabric, zip, straps,...) is excellent, as usual with Osprey. The Main pack has a very basic setup , it’s size is ok for trips that involve one type of climate,... it will be to small for longer travels when you need to pack for different seasons and weather types. Especially when going from cold to warm climates you won’t be able to stuff your jacket, sweaters and winter shoes in this bag. (Which would be really handy on a hot overcrowded local bus for instance).. not to mention any souvenirs you might collect along the way.. The daypack is as well a bit small....too small for any meaningful everyday-use... put in a laptop, a lunch, a bottle, maybe a light rain jacket and it’s full..ok for a hike, but (back home) you can’t go to the gym or grocery shopping for example with this one. Or when flying, to use it as your cabin bag, it might be small to put in all your valuables + some extra’s like food (safe some money on transit flights)...and it has no tablet sleeve...
If your needs are very specific, this backpack will do fine...
But for any serious long-time travel I strongly recommend the WAYPOINT 80 backpack with bigger main pack and daypack (with a great tablet sleeve)...but is it still in production?...
And for shorter trips or traveling in one (warm) climate, just go for a carry-on backpack like the FARPOINT 40 with possibly an added Ultralight STUFFPACK that can be strapped to the back .... again, maybe safe some more money on checking in luggage :)
I must add, though very comfortable to carry, none of these backpacks are perfect for any real serious hiking, they’re to heavy and have no back ventilation ... maybe an EXOS will be better then.
Btw: always choose a backpack over a roller if you’re strong enough. Many beautiful countries don’t have those super-smooth roads you migh be used to at home.
good luck backpacking !

I bought this for a trip to SE Asia last year, so it's seen planes, buses, trains & streets. The day-pack is a brilliant idea - it would help if it had another pocket though (phone, passports/docs to hand - the tiny outside pocket is just a bit limiting). I find I use the mesh pockets for sunglasses etc - but these do not feel secure enough. On the whole though, it's a brilliant idea and I used the day bag a lot. Being able to zip the straps away for putting into the hold is excellent - no worries that it's going to get shredded.

Moving on: I work away from home quite a bit, and use the pack to travel on the tube when in London. It's perfect - I use the day bag on the mainline train to have my valuables to hand (main bag in the luggage rack), then (because I'm taking less stuff than when on a major trip), the day bag can sit inside the main pack for the tube part of the journey. It's just short enough that you can stand on a crowded tube train with the pack between your legs so you're not using up loads of room.
When going to/from work during the week, the day pack is plenty to carry my laptop, phone, chargers, waterproofs etc.

Because I often throw the daypack inside the main pack (rather than zipping it on and off, which is a faff when you're just jumping off a train) it would be really useful to have at least one external pocket on the main pack to throw last minute things in (or keep waterproofs to hand etc). I think someone else mentioned this already.

Moving on again: I have also used this when staying in a couple of more upmarket places (conferences etc) - zip the straps away and you have a nice looking holdall rather than a rucksack (not that this really matters, but it's nice to be able to do this).

The fully opening top is excellent - combine this with some packing cubes (e.g. the amazon basics ones are great) and packing/unpacking/finding-stuff is a two minute job.

Overall though, it's a flexible, well-thought out system - just a couple of extra pockets would make it perfect.

Ho comprato due Farpoint 70 per me e per il mio compagno in vista di un viaggio a Bali: da quando li abbiamo scartati non ce ne separiamo mai :) La capienza è ottima, Osprey ha veramente pensato a tutto rendendolo uno zaino pratico e versatile in ogni situazione. Siamo stati via 10 giorni e ci siamo accorti che con la capienza che avevamo potevamo usarli tranquillamente per periodi di viaggio molto più lunghi. Tutte le cinghie/spallacci scompaiono per evitare che si incastrino ovunque. Nella sua semplicità, è una figata.

Zaino semplicemente perfetto comodo e utile. L’ ho regalato al mio fidanzato... regalo apprezzatissimo!

I just used my daughter's Farpoint 70 for a trip to Japan. The day bag is brilliant, so I can't see why anyone would complain - it has a great little compartment for sunglasses/camera etc and internal pockets to keep things separate. That said, it's a 2015 bag and I read that the daybag has been "improved" since then and by the sound of it not for the better, so I'll have to check carefully. The facility to stow the straps on the main bag and use it just like a suitcase in effect was brilliant for stowing on reduced height train luggage racks. I was so impressed that I am definitely buying one for myself for my next trip to Chile in Autumn.

The main bag is ok for travelling as you can stow it on planes easy enough and you cannot overpack because of the size restrictions. The daypack, however, is terrible and ruins the whole package; it is not very fucntional and the quality is way below par; the almighty garantee is also a wast of time... Definitly better brands out there. I will not be purchasing another Osprey bag after this experience.

I am a big fan of Osprey backpacks. My sister laughs when I get yet another one... I must have 6 or 7 at this point.
I have just travelled around SE Asia with the Xena for a year and now around Morocco for two months with the Farpoint 70.

So, I really like the way it opens, makes it much easier to pack and unpack repeatedly. I like the way the harness feels when carried, and the way you can stow it away for airplane journeys. I also like the inoffensive charcoal colour. The (lockable) zippers work well, and the size is pretty good.

In the main bag, the thing that could be improved, in my opinion is adding a little flexibility, like an external pocket for stashing stuff at the last minute. The space where the daypack attaches (or even the side) would be great for one of those stretch-meshy stash pockets. Otherwise, there is zero flexibility (it either zips up or it doesn't, there is no room to squeeze something extra, or access something quickly). The other thing that would be nice would be to have an inbuilt rain cover.

My main gripe is with the daypack. I own so many smaller Osprey bags and this just doesn't live up to that at all. It feels like a cheap free-gift type backpack, with really limited functionality. It isn't made of the usual nice Osprey material but something clunkier, and the outside pockets are divided in two for no discernible reason, and will neither hold a small bottle of water or book nor stretch to accommodate anything at all. Just a small bit of fixed course net, attached in such a way that if you fill it, there is hardly any room left in the bag. The carry straps are also a bit of a joke. So disappointing compared with a regular daypack from Osprey. I thought I'd travel with it but I tried it out for a day while in Europe and thought: no way will this stand the test of travel for me. I ended up taking my Talon 22 (I also have the 34) instead, and am so happy I did. I would have just become totally frustrated with this poor excuse for a daypack with no helpful outside pockets. Expected much better from Osprey

I purchased this pack for travelling South East Asia and Australia, the main pack is a good size and it worked well, my only issues are with the detachable day pack. Firstly is a good size to carry the basics and it great to clip it to the main pack and carry in front of you, pocket wise it has a Velcro closing laptop sleeve and another zipped pocket for a tablet inside the main compartment and then a smaller zipped pocket on the outside, I think it could have done with an additional organisation pocket on the outside somewhere for documents like passport, Wallett etc and RFID safe, but the main problem I found was the mesh water bottle pockets being not stretchy, this meant that when you used the pockets it would reduce the internal pack capacity and if your pack was fully packed, you couldn't use the water bottle pockets

I recently upsized to the Farpoint 70 after finding the 40 a little too small for my needs. The 70 has a lot of room in the main pack and can be cinched down when carrying lighter loads. It is worth pointing out that the 2016 model has some changes, especially to the daypack. The daypack is now 13 litres and no longer has the waist strap, the earphone/hydration port or the ability to stow the shoulder straps behind the back pad which are shown in some reviews of the previous model. I was initially a little disappointed in this but after asking Osprey about it I can see the logic of a slightly smaller daypack to keep the weight balanced when attached to the main pack. The ability to stow the straps is perhaps the biggest loss, but it probably makes very little difference in use. It is good that Osprey has an ongoing development policy, and they do think things out very well.
There is one minor issue I have found with both Farpoints I have owned where the top back corners of the main pack get very scuffed quite quickly on airport luggage belts and I think the design could be further improved in those areas. Overall, still one of the best travel packs around.

la mejor mochila para viajar en el mercado , tiene todo , mucho mejor que la competencia.
Para mochileros y gente que viaja mucho esta mochila es la mejor

This backpack was brilliant. I used it a variety of times throughout last year, it lasted through 47 degree heat and monsoon seasons so it was definitely trustworthy. The bag did rip on the front which was an annoyance but does not alter the fact that this is a great bag. (This review was left for a previous version of this product)

Perfect fit. Traveling with this bag was simple and no hassle whatsoever ! Highly recommended! (This review was left for a previous version of this product)

Overall this is a great pack for hiking!

It's light, has the connections and straps you need and all tucks away when flying or during transit. I used this bag to hike Kilimanjaro and the french alps. Was perfect.

Though my advice when using this bag is purchase some light weight packing cubes!! Makes life a lot easier.

The only thing i'd change about this bag is a additional inch width that could be utilised by a zipper. (This review was left for a previous version of this product)

I bought this backpack for a year in Australia, I'm halfway through and its so solid I love it! Not one issue has arisen with the bag and the front opening is a god send plain and simple. (This review was left for a previous version of this product)

For backpacking around, moving quickly from place to place - this bag is unbeatable! It is strong, stands up to a lot of wear and tear, great quality, the detachable day bag is a great size, not too small for everyday use or even for week trip minus big backpack.

Great back support, so comfortable! I will miss it when my 12`month RTW trip is over.

Will definitely be a repeat customer for a smaller, maybe 50L backpack for trekking/hiking. (This review was left for a previous version of this product)

I haven't used the full pack yet, but I love the comfort and fit of it. It seems really durable. The extra compartments are great and I love the detachable daypack. Great service from customer care and arrived swiftly. (This review was left for a previous version of this product)

I am very happy with the product. It is very practical plus it looks so good! Will recommend it to my friends! (This review was left for a previous version of this product)

The functionality of this backpack is the best I've seen. It is so easy to use thanks to the high quality of its design. Both the large pack and the detachable day pack are very comfortable, I tested this whilst walking around rugged terrain in north wales. Can't wait to take it globetrotting! (This review was left for a previous version of this product)

So far REALLY impressed with the clever and innovative design. It's has been designed with comfort in mind. Very clever options for the small extra day bag to be attached to the front. All the straps can be zipped away so,they don't get yanked off or caught in any transportation. Looking forward to give it a further review after using it for a while.

Prodotto di altissima qualità, leggero ma resistente. Il daypack si dimostra molto utile, pratico e semplice da ricollegare con il pack da 55 lt. Quest'ultimo offre spazio a sufficienza per tutte le necessità. (This review was left for a previous version of this product)

I just returned from my 2 weeks Italy trip, the reason I bought this backpack. It was simply amazing.

The amount of clothes it can feet and the amount of feature the backpack has just payed the value.

Be able to detach the small zipped backpack, to dispatch the bigger one in the airport, to use the handles and able to cover the should straps was 5*.
I mostly used the small backpack linked in the front, to balance the whole body properly. (This review was left for a previous version of this product)

He viajado durante 14 meses dando la vuelta al mundo con esta mochila. Ha durado a la perfección y además es muy cómoda para embarcar en aviones o acceder rápido a lo que necesites. La calidad es tan buena que ha sobrevivido a trekking en la alta montaña de la Patagonia, o a la humedad de la selva de Borneo. La opción de la pequeña bolsa es un gran plus.

I backpacked in Indonesia for 3 weeks, travelled with both plain, car and boat and this bag was fantastic! It was easy to find my things and pack up the next day because of the zipper. The small bag I used for trekking in the jungle. The only thing I missed was a little more space. It would have been great if the bag were a lift bit larger. (This review was left for a previous version of this product)

I am going traveling and needed a strong bag that will hold up for a few years.

I was recommended this type of bag by a few fellow travel buddies and when I checked out reviews online this bag come up trumps every time.
I have yet to actually use the bag I got (I will be in a few weeks time though). But it's amazing. Extra side pockets, padding on your back, the day bag that detaches and that it opens up like a suitcase is just awesome. It makes trying to pack everything easier and finding things even easier! I love it!! If you thinking of getting one but put off by the price...don't be! It's worth it and more. (This review was left for a previous version of this product)

Bought for a trip to South America.
Packs easily with a good day pack too. (This review was left for a previous version of this product)
