Osprey Europe Men's Farpoint 55 Travel Pack

Product Information

Although the Farpoint 55 has a cool two-in-one backpack system, I still think the Farpoint 40 is a better backpack overall. Explore Georgia, Croatia, Poland, Spain, and other off-the-beaten-path and popular destinations with my in-depth city guides. This feature means you don't have to the shoulder straps of the day pack behind your shoulders, which then pulls your shoulders in opposing directions. After relying on the Farpoint through 10+ countries, I’m thrilled to pass along the torch of insight.

In theory this bag is the perfect size for me, and I don’t need any more space, but I ran into a girl in Colombia who had an Osprey 65L and I immediately started lusting over the extra space she had.I’ve lived out of this bag and this bag only for the past three years of full-time travel around the world with my husband, so it’s safe to say I have a lot of experience with it. Install the Airalo app, which provides local eSIMs for a more affordable internet connection when traveling. Although I might check-in the bag, did you really have no issue when flying with Wizz-air and using it as a cabin bag/putting into the over-head compartment? Depending on where you stand, the fact that you cannot check the main pack may be frustrating, or it may be a non issue.

The benefit of having 2 separate packs is that you can leave your big pack at your accommodation and use the other during the day. Putting the larger compartment on the outside may seem nonsensical, but we found that this part was best for clothing and puffier, lighter weight items, so it didn't make the bag feel too unwieldy or unbalanced. The day pack, we found, was comfortable up to about 15 pounds, but lays flat against your back with lighter loads.Despite minimal weights, these full-featured men's packs adopt serious backpacking features from our more technical packs—like fine-tunable torso adjustments, load-lifting LightWire frames and breathable harnesses/hipbelts—blended with practical travel functionality.

Fully loaded my Osprey is around 10KG which is over the baggage weight limits on most budget carriers.Because of such front-loading, you can quickly grab something you like instead of unpacking and packing again with the top-opening backpack. With the help of packing cubes, this size backpack should be able to fit one to two weeks of clothes and other types of travel gear needed for a big trip.
