Osprey Europe Men's Farpoint 55 Travel Pack

Product Information

If you prefer the free-form organization of a duffel, check out the Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler which is so light and compressible that it stuffs into its own side pocket. As such, this is the bag to take on extended international trips, including those in which you might be doing some backpacking. You just download the free app and take photos of yourself, your torso and full length (friend’s help required), and it recommends which of their backpacks are suited to your frame!

However, the Farpoint/Fairview packs have all the essential features and are very durable and reliable. 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.I keep them together, however, and have another small backpack for my carry-on that holds my electronics and various stuff I want on the plane. Plus, with the integration of the daypack, you have a built-in option for day trips where you don’t want a big bag. Internal organisation has been optimised for travel purposes and rugged compressions straps keep your carry tight and stable whether you're bringing your whole kit along or slimming down for excursions. Fabric is treated in PFC/PFAS free DWR to create a dirt and water repellent barrier, keeping your load clean and dry.

As I said above, one of the great features of this backpack is its detachable daypack, enabling me to travel light. Internal organization has been optimized for travel purposes and rugged compressions straps keep your carry tight and stable whether you're bringing your whole kit along or slimming down for excursions. The manufacture of sustainable products is characterised by the reduction or elimination of harmful chemicals. A cloth covers all the straps and the side handle makes carrying it as a suitcase easy if the need ever arises.The standard set of gear, top, was packed into each bag to compare capacities with an actual load rather than relying on the company's reported volume numbers. The Farpoint 40 has a slightly less spacious main compartment, but it has everything else included, like a laptop sleeve and a quick access pocket on top. Its sleek design makes it a good pick for business travelers who just want something effective and basic.
