Osprey Farpoint 40L Men's Travel Backpack, Tunnel Vision Grey

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.

Sturdiest feeling backpack I've ever owned. I've only owned a few backpacks as an adult, but this one is by far the best feeling. It's currently not tested, because as of writing I've had it for approximately a week, and I've not worn it out. However, you can feel it's construction.This bag has a frame, which is new to me, all of my backpacks have been soft, with just canvas and other fabrics. This one has some sort of frame inside. This does keep it from collapsing, which could be an issue, but the whole point of this bag is that you're supposed to be able to fit everything in it for a short trip. This bag can do that. For me, I bought it because I'm a big guy, with big clothes, and I just need lots of space in my backpack.Not a super versatile EDC bag, but it is a very versatile travel bag. I'm using it as an EDC bag because it's big and I need that kind of space. However, if you don't need lots of space, probably get a 30L or less bag.

I absolutely love this backpack! It’s the perfect size for travel comfortable to wear and has plenty of well designed compartments. The Gopher Green color is great and it’s built to last. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable travel pack!

Perfect 10 day travel pack and carryon size when used with packing cubes. I hate having a roller bag when I'm traveling carryon only because I like to be agile. If I'm checking bags, whatever... but carryon means I want to move. This Osprey is great.It's the perfect size for a 10 day trip and the shoulder harness is superior to other designs out there. The 15L pack mounted to the top does throw off the balance of the rig if you have a laptop in it, but fortunately it can be strapped to the front for high-speed connecting flight panics. Yeah: you look a little weird, but look around the airport.Everyone's weird.It doesn't bother me because I'm used to wearing a plate carrier.It feels rugged and built to last... and if it doesn't, it's covered by Osprey's awesome warranty program.

I normally will always go budget for traveling in general shopping for best deals and prime time to go places but there is one thing I am glad I spent a little money on. This backpack for 2-4 weeks travel is simply unmatched for the price and what you get. You get 55L in 2 backpacks that you can split for a day bag while on the go for picking up food, stashing a jacket or any souvenirs you buy while foot. And a bag clam shell backpack with great space management for the all basic needs for travel. Please get this if hate to check bags and want a catchall carryon for 2-4 weeks. Build quality is stellar, zippers are great, overall super comfortable to wear. You really can't find something for this price and with the warranty from Osprey its just a no brainer for me. 5/5

Got this for a trip to Greece and Italy. Easy to pack and with 2 weeks worth of clothes plus a lightweight wool jacket and a pair of shoes and second smaller backpack crammed inside, only weighed 16KG - plenty of extra weight available for souvenirs on the trip back. The backpack straps are comfortable and easy to adjust. Pack is very well balanced when on the back. Straps stow away easily. Materials seem durable and I haven't noticed any fraying or seams coming apart - construction quality is good. In contrast, the inexpensive Chinese army backpack I had flown with previously started looking tatty after only a couple flights, which is what prompted me to pick up this Osprey as an upgrade. The 80L size is good; as stated above, I could fit 2 weeks worth of clothes no problem. Main compartment is easily secured with a TSA-approved lock. Easily fit my shampoo and other such wet things in the upper outside compartment to keep it contained in case of a spill. Shoe compartment is also outside the main, so your clothes won't get dirty. Only complaint is that I wish there were a better system for securing the loose ends of the cinch straps, especially if the pack is full and the loose ends are short, but still able to get snagged potentially - it's a small complaint - when the loose ends are longer, it is easier to tuck them away. One problem I ran into was at Rome Fiumincino airport when the guy at check-in for ITA Airways tried to insist it was Oversized luggage because it had some trouble going through their (smaller than everyone else's) baggage conveyer. Eventually, I got him to relent and he let it get checked in the regular baggage and there was zero problems with it being handled after that. It has smaller dimensions than any typical large suitcase, so his insistence that it was oversized was BS, but the issue with the conveyer may have been because the pack was stuffed pretty full in a way that made it kind of awkwardly lumpy and odd shaped. I would say it is best to take care of when packing it that it doesn't get overstuffed into an odd shape (especially if flying with ITA! Turkish Airlines gave me zero trouble). The straps can be a little difficult to get into when it is fully laden, but once you're in, you're in and it is very comfortable. The side handle for carrying it like a duffle is a little bit off-balance, but it is still more comfortable than the handles on most duffles I've encountered. The top handle is very helpful for when yanking it off the baggage conveyer or out of a trunk. The internal frame is wonderful. Overall, I will say a solid 4.5 stars, because it's not totally perfect enough for 5, but it's still great. Flight-ready backpacks such as this are the way to go and I will never go back to using a suitcase for international travel.
