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

What would be overkill and how, exactly? I travel with a 28-liter hiking backpack because I haven't yet found a travel backpack which would be even half as comfortable. I have also taken 2 trips to Japan which would be very similar to what this dude is planning with 2 different backpacks. The hiking

It didn’t fit in my Osprey Raptor 14 or my Osprey Farpoint 15L (part of the 55), both of those I use as daily backpacks. Going to find another model to carry it in.

This is a terrible bag to use as a hold bag. Unless you had a way of securing the handles, I could see these getting trapped within the conveyor belt system, which is probably what happened, I traveled on Ryanair to Pisa from Stansted return. I used an Osprey Farpoint backpack. Even though there is

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.

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

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

Yeah the whole back panel of the bag opens up as a clamshell. And again, in this particular case I believe that saying you need to mess with the cinch makes the same amount of sense as saying you need to mess with a zipper. And adding onto that all the stretchy mesh pockets that require no "messing
