Farpoint 40

Packing list first, then the bag. The Osprey Farpoint 40 is the safe answer. The bag needs to fit you, fit your gear and fit on the plane. Here’s my 4 season kit. Note the layering possible. It will all fit in a 32 liter overhead sized backpack. Pack for a week and laundry happens. Hand wash basics

Osprey Farpoint 40 with an adjustable torso length and load transferring harness for overhead carry on maximum loads. Patagonia Black Hole 32 for 7kg limits and general use.

Osprey Farpoint 40. When I bought mine they had 2 sizes and no female version. The store fit me with the larger size because of my torso length and it fit like a glove immediately. Don’t travel as much anymore but still the bag that comes with me when I do carry on. The Osprey Daylite 26+6 is my go

Will suggest looking at the Farpoint 40L or the dual-bag 55L version (40L main + 15L attachable daypack). The 40L is carry-on compliant for many (most?)

I bought an Osprey Farpoint 40 in 2015 and one-bagged for 2 weeks with it thru Asia. That bag is still hanging in my closet right now in 2026, ready for another trip. It's clearly seen many miles of wear but still quite functional. I own several Osprey bags now and I consider using them for almost e

I've had great luck with the Osprey Farpoint 40. It's carry-on sized, comfortable for long days, and opens like a suitcase which makes life way easier. For a couple months in South America, I'd keep it around 40L and pack lighter than you think you need.
