This subreddit changed my life + What I learned

The “bag review” nerds love sh*tting on Osprey when they can. I watched a review on the Daylite 26+6 today and they said to “try these substitutes.” They were 2-3.5x the price! I actually needed a smaller bag than my Farpoint 40 and went with the Daylite 26+6 in black. There’s probably a great $250

Anyone travel with a carry on?

10 years on the road with my wife, living out of two Osprey Farpoint 40L carry-ons. One each. This year, after a decade of wear and tear, we replaced them, with the exact same backpacks. That probably says everything. Traveling this way teaches you a simple rule: if something new comes in, something

One bag for diverse temperatures

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

Carry on, check it or buy another

You’ll likely be fine on Delta, but watch your weight once you start flying other carriers because some international and low budget airlines actually weigh people’s carryon suitcases and if it’s overweight you will be checking it. *hasn’t happened to me bc I exclusively use an Osprey Farpoint 40 as

How do you handle lots of weight on an achy back with a backpack?

This is all about overhead sized bags. Load transfer and under seat bags aren’t happening. Reduce the weight as much as possible! Get a pack with a load transferring harness that comes in various torso lengths or adjustable torso length for a proper fit. That will put 80% of the weight on your hips.

Osprey Farpoint 40L VS Salkan 35L

I have the Osprey 40L Farpoint and I love it. I don't like to check a bag ever so I use it to travel and to hike. It's been my main bag for multiple long hut treks in Nepal, Peru, Iceland, Patagonia and for Kilimanjaro. It's a solid bag. Sometimes I pair it with an Osprey 15L bag if I need some more

Onebaggers of Reddit: what's the toughest part of traveling with just one bag?

Wait, are you traveling with a carryon or just a tiny personal item bag?Doing laundry every night or even worrying about nearest laundromat when traveling random countries sounds super stressful. My 1 bag carry-on fits 1 week's worth of clothing easily. Checkout the Osprey Farpoint 40 it's max carry

FarPoint/FairView old vs. new side-by-side comparison

Just my thoughts: I had the Farpoint 40L and then changed to Osprey Unisex Sojourn Porter 46L. It's already a huge game changer to hide the Hip-Belt.. it has more advantages but fast YouTube search explains it better. If someone looks at the Farpoint/Fairview look at the Sojourn Porter.

Help, good backpacks don't fit on planes...

Osprey Farpoint 40. Wife and I have been traveling full-time with it and it’s never been refused as carry on including Ryanair and assorted discount-airline goblins. Pack weighs 1.5 kg. What is unique about this pack is that straps can be hidden, so it looks like a duffel bag After 10 years of daily
