Farpoint 55

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

I think to some degree you are expecting too much from a single bag setup with all of those possibilities. Overall my comments would be: Osprey Farpoint 40 (presumably that's the bag you mean?) is an excellent all rounder bag for travel. Realistically its most notable downside is that it is too big

I dislike zip-on attached daypacks like the Osprey Farpoint 55 for a few reasons. 1.) They put weight in exactly the worse place possible, out and away from your spine. 2.) The attached daypack is useless for carrying anything valuable because it's out-of-sight and out of your control. 3.) I don't w

I like my Osprey packs, I just did a check and these might meet your criteria https://www.osprey.com/rook-50l?size=O%2FS&color=Dark+Charcoal%2FSilver+Lining https://www.osprey.com/soelden-45l-ski-snowboard-backpack?size=O%2FS&color=Cascade+Blue-Raven+Black https://www.osprey.com/kestrel-58-kestrel58

You can easily get by with a 35-40 L carry-on sized backpack that is specifically designed for travel and a small personal item. I dislike zip-on attached daypacks like the Osprey Farpoint 55 for three reasons. 1.) They put weight in exactly the worse place possible, out and away from your spine. 2.

It was simply not nearly as comfortable and practical as a proper hiking backpack would be. The design also meant that the electronics I carry were the farthest from my back (I had the Farpoint 55 with a dayback) which is the opposite of how a backpack should be loaded. The straps also made it diffi

I had the Osprey Farpoint 55 for a year or two until I sold it. The longer I used it the less its design seemed to make sense: The daypack always ended up being very heavy while being farthest away from your back. At that point the straps did not support its weigh very well. The main compartment was

I'm doing my first night of primitive camping next week. It's just a 3-mile hike from trailhead (car parking) to the campsite. It's in Florida, and the forecast is a sunny high of 80 and low of 58. It's a flat hike, with some cell service. Overall, a perfect setting for a first time primitive camper

IF you 'fully pack' the 40L (Farpoint) AND 'fully pack' the 15L "day pack," AND THEN connect the two together (as designed), I find the combination to be much "thicker" than optimal. ("Thicker" as in "extends behind your back farther.") For a relatively short jaunt across a terminal - or in some oth

You have any midsize backpacks you recommend? I have Farpoint 55 and the daypack is too small and the main backpack feels too big sometimes. I have an atmos 65 which I use for longer trips and it’s not the best to carry when hiking shorter hikes (5-10 miles) Edit: would be great if you also tell us
