Osprey Farpoint 40L Men's Travel Backpack, Muted Space Blue

This bag is amazing and the size won't disappoint you. It's true to size and has enough room in the bag for several nights of hiking/camping. There are smaller pocket on the top of the bag that allows for easy access for items such as phone and documents. There is a separate shoe compartment that keeps your muddy shoes clear of your more delicate items. The stability of the bag better than expected it helps keep the back structure of the bag true to your back curvature and the exterior material is very durable. Happy backpacking! Great value for the money!

Bought the 40L travel backpack to use on a recent trip to Europe. The 40L accommodated everything I wanted to take with me without issue. I’ve traveled a lot over the years for both business and pleasure and I’ve learned how to travel light, so the 40L was plenty of space for me. I make use of compression packing cubes to keep everything organized and I’ve simply just learned to not overpack. Overall, the pack feels very well made from quality materials, so I believe it should last being subjected to the type of robust traveling I do. Zippers seem sturdy and all seams are well sewn. The handles are robust and well cushioned. I had no problem carrying the pack by hand. I also like the simplicity of the bag. One big packing compartment and a zippered mesh compartment. No interior dividers or extra zippered pockets means more packing space for the things I want to carry. Again, I use packing cubes and drawstring bags to keep everything organized. Used it in both duffle bag mode and backpack mode. I like that I can hide the shoulder straps behind the zippered cover for boarding planes and trains. It made getting the travel pack through the aisles and up into the overhead bins easier. I had no problems fitting it into the overhead bins and the airlines didn’t flag me for having too big of a carry-on or a “backpack”. The handles at the top of the bag and on the side helped with getting it out of the overhead compartment and off the plane. It was also comfortable when I used it as a backpack. The fully adjustable strap system with hip belt allows you to find a fit that is comfortable for your body. Using the compression straps on the back to hold my jacket in place when not in use is also a plus. And on the 40L you get the accessible, top pocket to hold smaller items, which I like as it’s nice to have a pocket for quick access to certain smaller things. Note, the 55L version does not have this top pocket/compartment as Osprey assumes you will be using the included 15L travel daypack as part of your travel system. There’s a back pocket underneath the compression straps that’s deep enough for a light sweater, water bottle, snacks, etc. A few things to note on the design. First would be to add more, softer padding to the laptop sleeve behind the shoulder straps. I feel like the padding for the laptop sleeve is a bit “stiff”. My laptop survived the trip with no problems, but I didn’t bang the backpack around very much. Also, the laptop sleeve extends inside the main compartment of the bag and is held in place on each corner by a hook and loop system. This allows the laptop sleeve to be lifted up, maybe so you can place something under the sleeve such as papers. I’m not entirely sure why Osprey designed the laptop sleeve this way, but that’s the design. So, you will be packing items directly on top of the laptop sleeve in the main compartment. This was not a deal breaker for me, but the user should be aware of this system. You also access the laptop compartment from the side of the bag instead of the top. Not an issue for me but for some users they may not like that system. I had no problem fitting my iPad Air and 14” PC in the computer sleeve. The shape of the travel pack is more oval or teardrop than square with the oval being slightly bigger at the base of the bag. Some people may prefer a square packing compartment over this design but I had no packing issues. Just make a mental note of it. The straps have excessive length and dangle. I’m assuming this is to accommodate all body sizes and clothing bulk. It’d be great if Osprey provided strap retainers to make the excess strap lengths more organized, but they don’t. I ended up 3D printing simple strap organizers which did the trick of eliminating the dangling issue. Fortunately, if you don’t have an 3D printer, Amazon sells strap retainers, so a purchaser should consider getting some if dangling straps bother them. You say you can’t decide between the 40L and 55L? Let me give you some clarity to help. The 55L Farpoint main pack is exactly the same packing size as the 40L. In order to get the additional 15L in packing space, Osprey added a 15L, detachable travel daypack that sits on top of the main pack. Yes, the 15L travel daypack is a nice feature. It gives you a detachable, 15L smaller backpack that you can use separately from the travel backpack for when you’re touring around a city. Some people might like the 15L travel daypack addition, but not me. I chose to go in a different direction and use the Osprey 13L Daylite pack instead. The 13L Osprey Daylite pack incorporates/attaches well with/to my 40L Farpoint and I prefer it over the 15L travel daypack for many reasons that are too long for this review. Overall, for the price (I bought mine when it was on sale), this is a solid travel backpack. It has a good cost to quality to usefulness ratio. Yes there are other, more expensive travel backpacks out there that are geared towards world travel adventures - but this one will be more than sufficient for the average, on-the-go traveler who goes on a few trips each year.

This is 2 backpacks. I use the smaller one for work. I use the larger one for travel/hiking/camping. The large one has a waist strap which is a lifesaver on long hikes.

I’ve taken this backpack on two trips and it’s worked out great. There is room for a lot inside, though I recommend something like packing cubes to help with organizing the contents. There are handy straps inside for keeping stuff in place, and I like that one can adjust the straps a lot including putting them away entirely for packing away into a car or airplane. Super comfy to wear, though I’m probably borderline fat for the belly strap (a reminder to walk more and eat less on travels perhaps - I’m larger than most folks around the waist). I had one incident where one of the strap pieces came off while putting into an overhead bin, but I saw it happen and retrieved it. I’m not sure how to prevent this other than to be careful that straps don’t snag in that situation. Otherwise, for this price, a fabulous backpack that replaced two separate carryon pieces (courier bag and a cpap bag). TL;DR It’s a great backpack and inexpensive, felt secure out in public and never felt like stuff would get damaged or ruined or lost while out and about.

Great city touring backpack. The accompanying daypack is nice with the integrating clips to hang from the front side of the backpack. But, the daypack is lacking in some basic ways. First, it has not external attachment straps or loops. This is a huge oversite as sometimes you need to strap a jacket or towel on the outside of your pack to save space and/or keep the inside clean. The outside has two mesh pockets - I am using one for an umbrella and one for a water bottle. Further, the daypack should have been made a little bit larger - thicker. I would never buy this daypack by itself. The fact that it has the clips to attach it to the front or strap through the backside of the backpack is its saving grace. The backpack is very nice. Quality build with nice zippers and straps to sinch it up tightly. The bag is a minimalist design by which I mean almost no extra compartments. There is one mesh zippered compartment on the inside and that is it. I am basically OK with this as extra compartments take up space and add weight. If you will simply use packing cubes you can keep this organized nicely. There are two sets of tie-down straps on the inside to keep your items secure. The shoulder straps along with the belt and sternum strap are all well designed to comfortably carry the loaded pack. It has nice padded handles on the top and side and the backpack straps can be covered. I will be using this for a 6 week excursion to Europe where I will be changing cities every 2-3 days. I looked at many-many packs and could not find a better one for this type of travel. The backpack I would rate as 5 Stars but due to the deficiencies of the daypack the overall rating is 4 Star - would do 4.5 Star if I could.

Really two bags in one. One 40L and the other a 15L that can attach to each other or be used separately. Used for the first time last month on a trip to Europe. I packed the main 40L bag with clothes and the 15L with small items that I would possibly need on the plane. 40L was considered a carryon which was placed in the overhead bin and the 15L was my personal item stored under the seat in front of me. Once off the plane I meshed or attached the two packs together and carried it that way using the backpack straps and hip belt. Very adjustable and comfortable. I pack very lite so together with everything inside both bags it weighed 21 pounds. I highly recommend the Osprey Farpoint 55L. This is tailored to men. I believe the Fairpoint 40 is built for women. My wife liked my set up so much she ditched her backpack in Europe and bought the Fairpoint 40L for women in a really cool looking purple color. She was only carrying about 15 pounds of stuff so super comfortable for her. Both bags have backpack straps and hip belt that can be tucked away and zipped up so you can carry the 40L bags using a side or top handle. Very handy. Excellent choice for us and excellent quality made bags. We are sticking with these bags and ditching our roller bags. Thank you Osprey for a great product.

Very good travel backpack. Just fits as carry-on. It has an excellent strap system with adjustable suspension and a fully supporting waist strap, good padding, and mesh to keep the sweat down. It's comfortable for all the travel/walking from the plane to the destination. I can easily fit clothing and necessities for a couple of weeks. The padded compartment for laptop is perfect, if you need that. I'd like it even better if it had a couple more outer zipper pockets (there's only one), and interior compartmentalization (again, only one division), but it's my go-to when a smaller bag isn't enough.

I’ve used the Osprey Farpoint 40L on a few trips now and it’s one of the most thoughtfully designed travel backpacks I’ve owned. The size is ideal for carry-on travel and fits easily in overhead bins while still holding enough for multi-day trips. The clamshell opening makes packing feel more like a suitcase than a traditional backpack, which keeps everything organized and easy to access without digging around. Comfort is where this bag really stands out. The harness and hip belt distribute weight well, even when the pack is fully loaded, and the back panel ventilation helps on longer walks through airports or cities. The structure of the bag keeps it from sagging or feeling bulky, and the compression straps help tighten everything down so it doesn’t shift while moving. The Muted Space Blue color looks clean and professional without standing out too much, and the materials feel durable enough for frequent travel. Zippers are smooth, stitching is solid, and overall build quality matches what you’d expect from Osprey. If you’re using this as a strict carry-on, packing cubes make a big difference in maximizing space and keeping things organized. Also, slightly underpacking helps the bag slide into tighter overhead compartments more easily on smaller planes. Overall, this is a reliable, comfortable, and well-designed travel backpack that works especially well for one-bag travel or long weekend trips.

Lo zaino migliore che abbia usato! lo sto usando per il viaggio in America Latina di 6 mesi, l’avrei preferito nero ma grigio forse sembra più tecnico e bello. I materiali sono molto resistenti e piacevoli al tatto. PRO: - per le dimensioni sfora di qualche centimetro in altezza per essere il bagaglio a mano che rientra nelle misure delle compagnie aeree, ma mettendolo in spalla non si nota neanche che sfori di quei centimetri. - le spalline si possono chiudere con la cerniera così da diventare un “borsone” Molto utile quando lo si mette nei pullman, bus e aereo. - il fatto che siamo 2 gli zaini e non uno - cerniere e materiali robusti - la sacca anti pioggia (comparata a parte) si può “nascondere” dove viene ripiegata la cerniera grande delle spalline CONTRO: - sacca anti pioggia per i due zaini mancante - mancano due portaborracce ai lati - il secondo zaino è troppo piccolo, ovvio sono le dimensioni perfette per attaccarlo allo zaino ma alla fine lo si tiene sempre davanti in quanto si tengono le cose di valore (un 25L sarebbe perfetto) - manca una tasca con cerniera esterna - qualche tasca in più all’interno In foto sono io: alto 176cm e peso 74kg, non ho lo zaino piccolo addosso, di solito lo tengo davanti. Allo zaino mancano delle piccole cose che potrebbero lo renderlo perfetto ma già così va bene!

Il mio compagno di viaggio. Inseparabile. La qualità è ottima. Il peso è bel distribuito e non pesa neanche dopo lunghi percorsi o se tenuto tutta la giornata. Capienza ottima per un viaggio anche di 2 settimane. L'apertura laterale a valigia è una caratteristica utilissima e imperdibile. L'ho utilizzato tantissime volte come bagaglio da cappelliera nei viaggi internazionali

Sono stato a Parigi con il Farpoint 40 e l’ho caricato come se dovessi stare via un mese. Quando è bello pieno si fa sentire sulle spalle, ma grazie agli spallacci e alla cintura lombare te la cavi senza problemi. Lo zaino è incredibile per come sfrutta lo spazio: ci sta dentro l’impossibile, organizzato bene (anche se forse avrei preferito una tasca esterna in più per praticità d'uso), comodo in aereo come bagaglio a mano (occhio per le dimensioni, non tutte le compagnie potrebbero approvarlo) ed è super resistente. Non sarà lo zaino più leggero del mondo a pieno carico, ma per viaggiare senza trolley è perfetto. Promosso a pieni voti.
