Osprey Packs Farpoint 55 Travel Backpack, Volcanic Grey, Small/Medium
Osprey’s Far point 55 is the perfect companion for a long weekend. Feel free to add an extra sweater and a pair of waterproof boots; this pack is designed to handle loads up to 50 pounds. The Light Wire frame suspension transfers the load from harness to hip belt. A mesh back panel improves ventilation and the mesh on the harness and hip belt reduces chafing under load. The entire suspension stows away under a zippered panel creating a sleek silhouette for transport. Unzip the lockable sliders to access the main compartment. Inside there’s a mesh pocket for small items. 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. No matter how much you choose to carry, dual compression straps stabilize the load. The main Far point 55 pack comes with a detachable Far point daypack to carry the essential for a hike in the hills or an excursion downtown.

Well worth the investment! I can’t praise this backpack enough. My wife and I purchased 2 of them for our 3 week trip to Europe in 2014, and absolutely loved them. We actually ordered the Farpoint 40, but were shipped the Farpoint 55. We decided to keep the packs instead of exchanging them, and I’m glad we kept them.Technically, the main pack doesn’t meet the maximum size requirements for most airlines. In practice though, the pack fits every overhead bin that I’ve tested it in, and it looks ‘squishy’ enough that…
Great pack!! A week after my awesome trip to Thailand I felt it was my duty to give credit where it is due, and this bag deserves a lot of praise! The detatchable daypack really provided me with a sense of security during my trip, allowing me to have my important documents (in waterproof housing) with me at all times being that I was staying mostly in hostels with little security. Yet the pack was durable and light weight enough that it didn’t become a nuisance or something to worry about. I was in Thailand…
