Osprey Europe Men's Farpoint 55 Travel Pack

Product Information

However, if you can make do with the simple daypack of the Farpoint 55, and you don’t mind that certain features have been moved from the main pack to the daypack, then the fact that they’re designed to work perfectly together could still make the Farpoint 55 a great choice.

I prefer to carry my bag backpack-style, but many people prefer carrying their pack like a suitcase. This versatile pack can be carried like a backpack, but packed like a suitcase thanks to the zip-away spacer mesh ventilated backpanel and harness.I may be set on the 55 Trek plus a Daylite (for day trips and carry-on) without having to pack so minimalist to feel like I’m ill-prepared (or not have space for the wife’s overflow items). It's a great travel option for trips that will include a lot of walking, maybe some backpacking, and even some rock climbing or other outdoor adventures. However, the Porter is a little smaller and less intense than Farpoint, making it a better option for short-term trips. It’s super lightweight and easy to carry, and the Tortuga is eco-friendly and covered by the company’s worldwide warranty.

Osprey will repair any damage or defect for any reason free of charge – whether it was purchased in 1974 or yesterday. Though this makes the Farpoint stand out a bit more in airports, it is at home in more rugged, rural, and backcountry travel settings, and a great option for those on international backpacking adventures, who often stay in hostels. You can also attach the daypack to the front shoulder straps, letting you carry two packs in “turtle shell” style. As an added benefit, the shoulder straps and hip belt can be zipped away behind a flap so you can easily and safely check it on a plane or carry it without fear of getting a strap caught.You just download the free app and take photos of yourself, your torso and full length (friend’s help required), and it recommends which of their backpacks are suited to your frame! I am 5’7” and have a pretty normal size torso, REI said I was 16”, so I didn’t expect it to fit the way it does. Or do you think it doesnt’t add much comfort to the traditional way of carrying two backpacks (kangaroo-style) without the clips? In addition to shoulder straps and a hip belt, the Osprey Farpoint backpacks have two padded carry handles — on the top and the side.
