Dual compression straps keep cargo from shifting during transit. Outside you’ll find a zippered front panel slash pocket to keep you organized and sewn attachment points to lash on extra gear. The main Farpoint 55 pack comes with a detachable Farpoint daypack to carry the essential for a hike in the hills or an excursion downtown. No matter where you go, the Farpoint is backed by Osprey's All Mighty Guarantee.

Cannot Wait to Put this to The Test!!

Cannot Wait to Put this to The Test!!
The minute I saw this backpack I knew I had to get it! A 16 night holiday to Peru with a friend... on a Hop on Hop Off bus with different hotels almost nightly... there was no way I was lugging my suitcases, even though I usually travel with carry on size. Just made more sense to backpack and so the search was on for THE perfect backpack. Seeing as I drag along too many electronics (Ipad, Iphone, camera, chargers) my main goal was to find a pack with a detachable day bag (I often check out Rick Steve's blogs and love the idea of a day bag) and so when I came across the Osprey Farpoint 55, well, I knew my quest was over! I already know how to pack a carry on size bag for extended trips (3 weeks in South Africa using a carry on) so the size was a no brainer... S/M so I can use it for carry on. Interestingly enough I am almost sure that it will fit UNDER the seat in front of me... I did a test run with what I plan to pack in the main part and it is no bigger than the rolling carryon duffel that I have often stashed under the seat. Makes for a great foot rest! However, seeing as only clothes will be in there, I do plan to pop it in the overhead and do not anticipate any problems.Lots of talk about no internal pockets inside the main pack. Seeing as I plan to use packing cubes this is not a concern for me. There is one mesh pocket on the inside top cover that will be handy to keep some stuff separated from the rest. The inside of the main bag is roomier than what you figure at first glance. Once you start putting items inside you realize that if you have stuffed this backpack full to the brim, you are taking WAY too much stuff!!The day pack is larger than I expected and will work nicely as a day/overnight pack on some of the overnight excursions in Peru while we leave the main pack back at the Hostel. A quick change of clothes, electronics, water bottle, and room for a souvenir... the harness is comfortable and the pack looks great on.All in all, of all the backpacks I researched, this was the one that fit the bill!UPDATE:Back from Peru and I LOVE this backpack! I did use the packing cubes, which kept everything in order which was really handy as we moved daily to a new hostel so it was a no brainer to take the cubes out for underthings, pants, tops, whatever... without having to make a huge mess since all clothes were rolled, everything was visible. Surprisingly I only used the larger pack as a suitcase, never putting it on my back. Instead I put the day pack on my back and carried the larger pack. My travel partner however used hers as a backpack and was very pleased with it.If I had to find fault with this system I would have to say that more outside pockets would have been great to keep things organized and within easy reach, however I did get a purse organizer which fit nicely into the bottom of my day pack and that really helped.Overall very pleased and cannot wait to go on my next adventure!

5.0 out of 5 stars Versatile Pack
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017
I’ll admit that I was hesitant when it came to purchasing a travel bag. I did endless amounts of research, went to stores to see them in person, and then did even more research. Well, I chose right. I LOVED this bag. It came with me on a three week tour of Europe where I put it through the ringer.

I flew out on TAP Portugal who would not let me take it as a carry on. When full it was a little large for their taste but the zip off day pack was key. I was able to dethatch it and keep all of my important items with me for the flight while I converted the main bag into luggage mode and sent it on its way. The zip on cover for the straps was important to me because I have in the past had luggage get snagged during transit. On one occasion it was a snowboard bag and almost the entire strap had been ripped from the bag. With the Farpoint’s cover, I was comfortable in knowing that I was in the clear.
Once I arrived in Europe, it took only seconds to reattach the day pack and be on my way. Over the course of my trip, the items that I accumulated filled this bag to bursting. I had to kneel on it to get it closed on my final day. I put a lot of stress on the zippers but they are heavy quality.

Pros:
Front panel access. You don’t realize how important this is until you lack it. My travel companions didn’t have it and watching them try to find something in their bag was a sight.
[[ASIN:B014EBLI7Y Osprey Packs Farpoint 55 Travel Backpack, Volcanic Grey, Medium/Large]]
Side carry handle. Was nice when you wanted to give the shoulders/hips a rest or just didn’t have the time or need to fully wear the bag.
Very comfortable. The bag sat perfectly on my hips and I was able to walk long distances with no discomfort.
Locking zippers. People have sticky fingers. Sure, they could always cut the bag but the large percentage of thieves are looking for the quick and discrete score. Being able to put a lock on both bags gave me good piece of mind.

Warranty. Osprey calls it the All Mighty Guarantee: Any Reason, Any Product, Any Era. This is huge. I beat the hell out of my bag(not intentionally) and it held up but knowing that it would be replaced free of charge if it ripped or a zipper burst puts the mind at ease. It also shows the faith that they put in their product.

Cons:
Color. Volcanic grey was my favorite of the available colors but I wasn’t in love with it. There should have been more color options. I’d have preferred a true black.
Size. It was BARELY too large to be used as my carry on. I always sleep easier on the plane when I have all of my stuff with me.
Outer net pockets. They were a touch small. When my bag was filled to the brim, especially during the end of the trip, there was very little that I could fit inside of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mochila de buenos materiales (falta probarla)
Reviewed in Mexico on March 3, 2022
La mochila es muy bonita y se nota que la calidad de la mochila es muy buena. Mido 1.80 m y de complexión delgada… compré la talla M/L y la sentí un poco grande de tamaño, creo que la talla S/M se hubiera ajustado mejor a mi complexión y tamaño. Tengo planeado hacer un viaje a América del Sur por lo que aún no la he probado, pero se siente muy bien la mochila. Cuenta con una mochila pequeña que se puede desprender de la mochila grande, además de que tiene compartimento para una laptop. El compartimiento principal no tiene divisiones por lo que tienes que comprar “packing cubes” para organizar tus pertenencias.
