Farpoint 55

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

For flying, like the Osprey Farpoint (or Fairview - which my wife has). Shoulder straps, load lifters, and hip belts make them comfortable to carry across an airport or around town, and they have a zippered cover that keeps the harness bits under wraps when / if you simply want to carry the bags by

Check out Osprey farpoint/fairview 40L. It’s a travel backpack so it also has a clamshell opening that’s easy to get stuff in/out of like a suitcase. The backpack straps are actually really comfortable so you can walk with your pack fully loaded for longer distances, up stairs, etc. It’s very resili

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

My son got on

If you want light get a Patagonia Black Hole 32. Clamshell bags are better for directly packing folded or rolled clothing. I use packing cubes and pouches that make the opening style insignificant. There are only 8 “objects” in my bag and each nicely zipped up, so can unload and reload even a roll t

I love the farpoint! Have had and used the farpoint 55 for 10 years and it’s super versatile. Valuables in the daypack and I can take it on or off depending on the situation, like main bag in cabin overhead storage and day pack with me at the seat. The connecting zipper broke on the daypack but I’m

I use an osprey farpoint 55 for everything at this point. Should work for what you’re doing. Kind of the Toyota Camry of backpacks, nothing fancy but does 95% of what you need and won’t die

You could look at the Deuter Trans Alpine series, I have used a regular size for many years. The regular size is here also 28l, so similar to the Osprey Escapist. There is also a larger (taller) 32l version. But that is aimed at tall riders, so with long back, at least 1.85 m height. Considering tha
