About this deal

I first used it on a group tourof Sri Lankain 2016 and it has been a frequent travelling companion ever since. Its generous capacitymakes it the perfect choice for longer trips.

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 I’m going to be straight, from an awesome perspective, I do like the Farpoint 55 just a little bit more. Technically the 55 is TWO bags (a 15-liter day bag and 40-liter normal bag) and it has a handful more of bells and whistles than the 40 (namely storage compartments). This is a unisex bag and looks fine on both men and women. Follow the sizing chart above to find the size that is best for you. 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. If you are wondering which is better, the Osprey Farpoint 40 vs Tortuga’s bags – it depends on your style…. literally.Osprey Farpoint Trek FAQs Osprey Farpoint VS Osprey Farpoint Trek – Which Should I Choose? The Farpoint and the Farpoint Trek, which one is for you? If you are interested in doing some hiking with the Osprey Farpoint 40, you’ll be pleased to see that it is very durable and very capable for day hikes or wandering around town, but shouldn’t be considered for serious camps or hikes. Osprey Farpoint 40 Rain Cover (For Hiking Adventurers!) Side tension straps are linked to the hipbelt. By tightening these straps you can stabilise the load but reduce the hipbelt flexibility. Where balance is critical tightening them can help you feel more secure. However, if you are striding out over easy terrain it’s better to loosen these straps to allow full hip flexibility. 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. If you are planning on going on an epic hike with tents, sleeping pads, cooking materials and an extra pair of boots… this is not the bag for you.

Truthfully, the Osprey Farpoint 40 is a travel bag, but it can be used as a simple hiking bag for basic day hikes. Initially, I was very sceptical about this combination but by testing this product I have had my mind well and truly changed. But as nice as it is, it’s just not large enough for long-term travel. Would I love to be able to travel on 30 liters? Absolutely! Can I? hell no. The extra 10 liters the Farpoint 40 gives you is crucial for longer travel. 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.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. Some people prefer Osprey products for camping and hiking. If that’s you, then you’re on the right path! As a flight cover, the AirCover feels a little baggy. Unless your bag is crammed to capacity, the AirCover will sag and not look great but the protection it offers is certainly worth the downgrade in appearance. As a rain shield, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it fit. Internal Compression Straps –Another awesome feature for travelers, the compression straps will give you the ability to really squeeze a few extra things in your bag. I would recommend only using the compression straps for clothes, and doing so will really allow you to create twice as much space.

When you’re out hiking and it starts to rain, the AirCover also works as a rain cover. Because the AirCover is not designed to be a rain cover first though, it may not be 100% effective. Still I find this extra level multi-faceted ability to be very impressive and better than nothing. 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.

Shoulder Strap –This is a cool feature that I found out I liked more and more as time went on. Simply attach the shoulder strap to the two designated hooks (pictured below). I wouldn’t recommend carrying your bag for long periods of time like this (especially if it’s full and heavy) but it’s nice to have to carry around a few minutes here and there, or especially if you have less weight than usual. Osprey is one of the premier companies for outdoor equipment and started by exclusively making outdoor hiking/camping gear. 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.

No matter when you bought your bag, or what condition it is in, if you have a problem with your bag, you just mail it into Osprey and they fix the problem free of charge. While the Osprey 40 could be great for school, hiking, or everyday use, it is most specifically used by and designed for travelers. However, there are some important things to note. You do have to pay postage. Also, the AMG no longer covers water damage, airline damage or general wear and tear. It’s still one of the best guarantees on the market.

If you are planning to do anywhere from light to heavy traveling, then you are going to enjoy the Osprey Farpoint 40. I’ve taken it as carry-on luggage for two-week trips to MalaysiaandThailandand found it spacious enough to accommodate my gear with ease.
