Osprey Europe Men's Farpoint 55 Travel Pack

Excellent pack. I read lots of reviews about travel backpacks and this and its little sibling (the farpoint 40) were the most talked about. I have taken this away on multiple trips but it really came into its own on a holiday to SE Asia. Easy to handle getting in & out/ on & off buses and taxis. The straps fold away nicely so that they are safe from deadly backpack ripping airport carousels. Easy to pack/unpack (especially when using packing cubes). I have used the daysack attachment everyday for work for the last year + and I would be lost without it. both are very comfortable when fully loaded. The only minor snag I would say is that the material on the back of the daysack makes my shirt ride up every 5 minutes, so I forever pulling my shirt down - a minor inconvenience. Absolutely love it. Would recommend in a heart beat.

This is a great rucksack and was perfect for my backpacking trip around Australasia. The front opening made it super easy to repack- really handy when moving between different hostels every other day! The size was perfect for my 2- month long trip as it was slightly small- this stopped me over-packing like I usually do and saved me having to carry around a ridiculously sized pack on my back (my friend carried an 90L backpack and she could hardly lift it). Delivery was prompt although there was probably a bit too much packaging. Couldn't recommend this product enough though!

Probably a little bit for me, making the bag a little less comfortable than it could be (I’m 5’4 for reference) but it’s super durable and there is plenty of space inside for everything. All straps are adjustable which is handy and the detachable daypack is my favourite feature, such a good idea for day trips

Recently purchased this ahead of a trip and generally faired well, however disappointingly a few days into its first backpacking trip one of the inner zips in the daypack broke. This makes it much more difficult to use this compartment and overall given the price of this backpack you would expect it to be able to fair much better with normal use.

Not disappointed by Osprey! I've had a Farpoint 40 for a few years now and used it as a work bag and for aircraft carry-on baggage which is where these bags excel. Being able to zip away all the straps and use the side handle is a feature every manufacturer should implement. I can't remember it leaking, nothing has broken or frayed and so I've bought the '55' model. This version has a zip on day bag which, disappointingly attaches 3/4 of the way around so the space between the bags can't be used for stowing more goodies. I'll put a hydration pack in there so the space isn't completely wasted. I bought the Small fitting bag as I'm tall and thin. The straps all adjust nicely to my body, only the shoulder strap tensioners slip so I'll tape them in place along with the other spare ends. I have no reservations about recommending the Farpoint bags. Sure, you can buy cheaper but this is definitely worth the money.

Wonderful and magnificent bag! The only downside were that the front backpack is now quite difficult to start the zip. This may be dirt but the other zips work well. I would have also appreciated a couple more inner pockets but other than that this bag is incredible. Ive taken it around asia for 3 months where its been chucked about, abused, strapped to the back of a motorbike for several days across harsh Nepalise roads and its come back 100% intact. I kept both bags at brimming maximum capacity for 99% of all my trips. Love this and will keep it for all future trips.

So to get right to the point, I bought this for me, and bought my wife the Fairview 70. We went for a trip to London. My wife complained of severe shoulder pain wearing her heavy women's fit Osprey Fairview 70. What happened? We ended up swapping. The Osprey Farpoint 55 looked much more comfortable on her and her facial expression was much more relaxed. I don't know if it is the thicker straps, or the better design of the Farpoint, but my wife said she felt her back supporting the weight, and not pulling on her shoulders. As for me, I was stuck with her Osprey Fairview and I know it is supposed to be a women's fit, but it was sore on me as well as her. It was agony! The Osprey Farpoint is possibly the best heavy duty backpack for its straps, design, centre of gravity being closer to your back (the 70 might be further away), plus having features like the 'day pack'. It lives up to its Hype, unlike the Fairview 70, regardless if you are male or female. If you are a lady, you may actually find the Farpoint 55 much more comfortable than the Fairview range, despite the Fairview being technically a 'womens fit'. My wife said she will be happy to go backpacking again provided I buy her either a case on wheels, or a Farpoint 55.

I was travelling through Germany for 11 weeks, moving from city to city and staying for a few days at a time. A travelling blog recommended this bag for such a trip, partly for its size but also for the additional, separable day bag. I was, however, initially hesitant to purchase it because of the price tag, and I was trying to stick to a strict budget on my trip. I have had absolutely no second thoughts since it arrived. This bag is fantastic. It is big enough to fit all your travelling essentials while not being so big that it becomes cumbersome. The designers thought it through very well, as both bags come with just the right number of storage compartments and features. The straps on the larger bag, for instance, can be hidden away and the day pack zips up with relative ease. The support is also very good, and I can wander around for an hour with a fully-laden bag with few problems. Longer, however, might start to become an issue. If you can get this bag for less than £100, it is a no-brainer.

Product is as expected. Good quality

Ottima qualità. Non ho ancora avuto modo di usarlo in un viaggio, ma la fattura è davvero ottima. Cercavo uno zaino dove si potesse staccare una parte e questo è perfetto!

Acquisto azzeccato. Usato per un viaggio on the road a Bali ed è comodissimo, ci sta dentro di tutto! Lo schienale è perfetto per camminare con lo zaino addosso. Comodo e utilissimo lo zainetto più piccolo estraibile (sopra i 25 gradi si suda un bel po’). Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.

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.

Muito boa, ótimo acabamento, materiais resistentes, boa distribuição de espaços, leve e o mais importante para mim, tamanho adequado a bagagem de mão em aviões.
