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.

I can get a cover for a month or three months and I know I can travel with peace of mind and get the best product for my money. And it also covers COVID-19. But I think the best fit for this bag is actually round-the-world or gap-year travelers who will travel mostly overland. 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.I travelled with this bag for a year in Madeira, mainland Portugal, Colombia, Guatemala, and Mexico, while carrying with me everything I owned at the time. I am a woman of average age and average fitness level. I walk a lot, take public transportation, stay in hostels, hike, and I often carried this bag for more than half an hour. I have carried all sorts of things in this bag and I loved and hated it at various stages of my travels. I will give you my honest opinion and you will make a decision. It also opens suitcase-style from the side and not from the top, so you can always access everything very easily. This is perfect for when you mostly stay in hotels or in hostels.

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. Distributes weight nicely, highly organized structure, comfortable & removable straps, sturdy handles In the main compartment, there’s a mesh seperator which helps you keep clean and dirty kit apart, along with an ID card holder and key clip to keep your valuables safe and easy to access. 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. Technically, this bag is a bit too big to be carried on, but some travellers claim that you could probably be able to get away with it. I think if Osprey took away those 2 litres and make this bag truly a carry-on size without the day bag attached, it would make so much more sense. In the end, you only gain 2 to 5 litres (depending on if it’s a female or male version) for the price of possibly not being able to carry it on.For this reason, if you like the look of this bag I think getting a Fairview/Farpoint 40 would make more sense. 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: I booked most of my tours via either Get Your Guide or Viator. You can also book locally, but I advise you to ask around and follow the local recommendations. There are also 70-liter versions, though I personally consider these too large for general travel purposes. Features of the Farpoint Trek 55
