Farpoint 40

The Farpoint is a travel pack. It is absolutely the wrong type of backpack for the Camino. I strongly advise against using it. Go with the Kestrel or explore other backpacks made for camping while walking distances ie backpacking backpacks. Look at the Osprey Exos 38 or something else by Osprey or G

Try getting your packing list for just the hike into your Sirrus now. Does it fit? If so, don't read the rest of this comment. 😂 I don't think you want a Farpoint 40. And, I don't think you want to take your Sirrus with you. I think you want a large hiking pack you can carry on. This is a bit tricky

Visited Thailand for 4 weeks with Osprey Farpoint 40L. This was OK for cabin apart from internal flights. I was hit with last minute charge similar to flight cost for oversize. Just bought Osprey 26+6 for hot weather trips in future.

I agree! Used it on 1 trip and promptly returned it. I could not pack it properly to fit in regional jet overhead bins cuz it packs outward like a giant turtle shell. This tendency to act like a turtle shell had me falling over at the ferry port in Split and some random guy helped me up. I had previ

Was worried I was underestimating how easy it'll be but yeah I was also thinking that everything that's somewhat heavy I can put in my pockets too.

This post brings back PTSD for me and I now notice this subject continues to come up from time to time. Copied from one of my previous replies to a Farpoint side release buckle thread...... I searched very extensively for these specific side-release buckles going so far as searching resellers/wholes

I don't know about the Forclaz but the Farpoint 40 is relatively heavy for its capacity and the carry on weight limit for most budget flights around SE Asia is 7kg. For this reason I don't use it anymore for SE Asia. I'm currently using an Osprey Talon 36 which I happened to already have.

I bought both versions of the farpoint travel day pack : The newer version had plastic hooks…so I pulled up the older version and bought that… This older version had clips, but they don’t fkin clip into the Farpoint 40 because they are too small 😂😂 Tried my best to do it right but Osprey botched thi

Your stuff in Osprey Farpoint 40 may be too big and/or heavy for cabin luggage on some budget flights within SEA. I got caught out last month on an internal Thai flight with a 10kg OF40. They did weigh it and also watch you put it in the sizing box.
