There are also 70-liter versions, though I personally consider these too large for general travel purposes. Features of the Farpoint Trek 55 The frame in the Trek 75 is much like that of the original Farpoint. It is very unobtrusive yet still works incredibly well and makes carrying heavy loads a doddle. I’ve had the chance to use it both as a general travel bag and while trekking (the longest was a 5-day trek). It used to be that the Farpoint 55 wasn’t carry-on compliant and it had some other points against it that made it a less attractive option, but now they are much more of a match. The Farpoint 55 Trek is ideal if you’re looking for a bag that you can use for travel and potentially for trekking as well.

Whether to buy the Farpoint or Fairview 55 or another version depends on your space requirements and whether you’re into the 2-in-1 system. You can consider several configurations based on your needs: It is one thing to use high-quality materials; it’s another to use them well. So is the Osprey Farpoint Trek 70 built well? The answer should be obvious. The latest edition has an adjustable harness. This means you can move the harness up or down by up to about 3 inches or 8cm. Then perhaps I can offer some help, because I’ve used and reviewed nearly all versions of the Farpoint line-up. No, there is just one size. It used to have a S/M and a M/L version but no longer. There is now only one size: O/S.The outside of the Farpoint Trek 75 is covered in various attachment points for extra gear. From the daisy chain style loops to the mount points for the rain cover, Osprey have covered all their bases here. The Farpoint 55 Trek is not only for trekking, but it’s definitely a lot more suitable for it than the other Farpoint editions. It’s much more comfortable, has better padding, and has an integrated rain cover. Initially, I was very sceptical about this combination but by testing this product I have had my mind well and truly changed.

The other common question I get is if the 40L carry-on size is big enough for certain trips. I think traveling minimally is great, but there are some trips where you might need a bit of extra space. If you are on the fence about how much space you need, then the Farpoint Trek 55 is a really nice step up from carry-on. What are the differences? Well, the Fairview 40 has slightly smaller dimensions, but has been made more comfortable as it is designed for the female body. Also, the shoulder straps curve along the body, creating a better fit-for-women design. Since I am a dude I can’t speak from personal experience here, but many women travelers I’ve met have told me they love this edition. I like this feature, but it mostly appeals to hardcore Osprey fans. It’s not worth it to actually buy both this and a Daylite, just to be able to switch between the two. But, if you’re already a proud owner of a Daylite or a Daylite Plus, you’ll be happy to know that the Farpoint Trek is compatible with both. Compatible With Hydraulics LT Reservoirs It is available in just two sizes, both of which are too big to be considered a carry-on. And that is one reason why I’m not so impressed with the travel aspect of this bag.

Osprey’s Almighty Guarantee should also be an indicator of their bag’s quality. A company wouldn’t give a lifetime warranty if it didn’t think that the product could last a good long while. If you are spending a summer city hopping around Europe or Southeast Asia the standard Farpoint will suit you perfectly. On the other hand, if you are heading to South America and planning a few hiking trips, the Farpoint Trek will be much better suited to the task! No. The Farpoint Trek is too big to take on as hand luggage. You may be able to sneak the smaller 55-litre version on as hand luggage but officially, it’s too large.

When product pictures of the new Farpoint got released, I saw many comments on forums comparing it to the Osprey Porter. They do look a bit similar in pictures, but the Farpoint is absolutely NOT as structured or as stiff as the Porter. Although the Farpoint/Fairview series isn’t necessarily designed for hiking, they are comfortable enough to take on hikes during your travels. Where to buy Osprey Farpoint 55 When reviewing the Farpoint Trek 55, it occurred to me that it could be part of a very cool set-up for long-term travel. Integrated compression system. While the regular Farpoint which has no internal organization features, the Trek does have several.Unlike the classic Farpoint series, the Frpaoint Trek is only available in two sizes, neither of which is small enough to be considered a carry-on when you’re flying. But I think the best fit for this bag is actually round-the-world or gap-year travelers who will travel mostly overland. No. The Farpoint Trek is the men’s version of the bag. The women’s version is known as the Fairview Trek and comes in two sizes, 50-litres and 70-litres.
