Hey you guys really do a great job. Most reviewers don’t follow up on subsequent generations of a product. The Farpoint is one of the few real rivals to the Rick Steves original one bag and the best commercial competitor the Patagonia MLC, so thank you for updating. The most important pack feature to me these days are laptop slots that protect from external impacts but don’t waste space trying to pad against shifting internal contents - I can plan for that in my packing.

@mdubb4855 Год назад

@@keagan1276 compete with the Steves? Nothing, for sheer size and low price. It's a loser, though, when it comes to transporting electronic devices, plus it's so large if you pack it full, you'd better be very fit. I think Patagonia's latest MLC is very interesting. Expensive though, so if it doesn't exactly satisfy your use-case, heartbreak follows. On the other hand, if your international flights don't have penurious weight restrictions, and you are willing to sacrifice your underseat legroom for a personal item to hold your electronics, the Steves is the king of one-bags, no-checked luggage, travel.

I bought the first generation Farpoint 40 back in 2012. In my opinion, it has been the best carry-on backpack with top-tier function and style. Glad to see these evolvements all along the way, like the modified back support and moving the laptop compartment from the front to the back. I'm thinking about replacing mine with the newest version but it just doesn't break.

@hugoingelhammar6163 Год назад

I just got this bag and loving it more and more for each day. I am amazed by how much you can stack on top of eachother and still close the lid. the internal compression straps are amazing for that. They also keep everything from falling out when you open the bag. Its also very comfy for its lightweight construction. Another hack I found with this bag is that you are able to fit a smaller packing cube under the harness, where the harness cover hides away. packing this up with a small cube or a pair of pants fills out the bag even more and makes it more comfy, as it gives a little extra support around the tailbone. The only drawbacks I could think of: 1. Would be nice with a real elastic mesh pockets one one side at least. There is a perfect place for that on one side that is now just empty. 2. Some more organization would be nice, either inside the bag on the side (as earlier versions of the Farpoint had), or a little extra room/organization in the top pocket.

Great video- I’m a huge fan of Osprey packs, and mainly this pack. I have the older version, and may actually like it better than this updated version. I don’t travel with a laptop and really like the front zippered compartment for things like a jacket and rain gear- without having to access the main compartment. I suppose if you travel with a laptop this is probably better. I do like the way the main compartment on the updated version opens all the way, as opposed to the older one that doesn’t quite do that. But props to Osprey for listening to their customers and updating to what they want!!

@TravisBy 7 дней назад

Thanks for the review. We just tried out a farpoint in REI and didn't like it -- it didn't seem to fit our torsos. We figured this was because they got rid of the small and large versions and went to O/S and we're just a bit too small for that. Not a single one of the like dozen reviews we've watched showed that there was, or how to, adjust the torso size! Your review is the only one that mentioned (and demo'd) it! We also never noticed the little drip hole for the water bottle compartment -- that was another neat tidbit exclusive to your review. Thanks!

Saw someone on reddit claim it comes loose. (2) Does the laptop sleeve have any sort of false bottom? It seems like it wouldn't if the laptop is only separated from main compartment by detachable padding?

I picked up the 55. I’m pretty happy with it so far from test packing it, but haven’t had the chance to do a big trip yet. I was kinda disappointed with the day pack at first, but tried to use it daily for a bit to see if I liked it and was really surprised how much I enjoyed it. Just my 2 cents

@waylinnelson Год назад

@@matt6740 I appreciate your input a lot! I haven’t seen too many videos that just show the day pack that comes with it. Is it bulky when it’s attached to the back of the bag? Maybe when it’s fully packed out you would have to wear the day pack the front. Thanks for your 2 cents.

@b12233 Год назад

They're very similar. The 55 doesn't have the front stuff pocket and has a few internal organisation pockets. My view is that you're better off getting the 40 and then if you feel you need the extra room you can add a day pack later. But there might be a few features you want on the 50. Personally I don't understand why they didn't just combine them and offer it as a 40+15. There are some decent comparisons on RU-vid showing both

@shanksworthy 3 месяца назад

Great review! Could you confirm the height? According to their website, the old version was 21”, but the new one is 22”.

@leonkazmier Год назад

Great review. While I appreciate the fact that the laptop compartment moved to the back I don't like that almost nothing is accessible without opening the main compartment. The previous version had a front compartment for some items. Other brands offer access from the outside and many other small pockets for organization. I suppose they assume one would use one of their daypacks. Those, I think, are interesting, but when travelling by plane it is not always allowed to take two items as carry-on. Plus the rucksack becomes quite bulky when the daypack is attached, which is a downside when being in a packed crowd as it is often the case when travelling.

With 2-in-1 backpacks you can avoid the gate-check horror. That’s the feature. You can always take your small bag with electronics on board.

@WabbitCrouton Год назад

I can see why Osprey may have used an front pocket for a tablet and laptop in their older design. With the current updated design the more conservative laptop compartment may be resting against the back and is more logical for weight distribution. But the older design allowed to grab a tablet quick in the front or top pocket when lied down flat on its back. The heavier weight far from the back would be odd of course, but the benefit of grabbing a tablet quickly from that front sided pocket and keeping the laptop from being crushed by the large main compartment seemed to have prevalence. Until customers began to complain/comment on that. Still a great update over the old with lots of improvements on the back and shoulder straps. And the shove it pocket seems much more convenient for jackets.

The 55 is basically the 40 with a daypack included. But the 55 main bag doesnt have the top grab pocket and the front stove away pocket. I instead bought the 40 and thinking about buying the daypack separately, since the 40 is a better backpack in itself than the 55. The cost is also about the same if you buy the 40+ daypack or the 55.

For this bag and the Porter, it helps to have packing strategy where you load and cinch in layers. As many may have noticed, the top of his bag was not packed as dense as the bottom. These bags fail carry-on limits because owners pack it too high which may result in problems getting the bag in the overhead compartments of planes.

Does anyone know if this bag classifies as carry on for majority of flights ?

@LKtravels Год назад

Yes. For European flights, it's a "cabin bag" (vs "personal item"). I've used the older FP 40L as such on Aer Lingus, Ryan Air, and Delta earlier this year. For those regional carriers, you'd probably want to have a ticket that buys you a guaranteed spot in an overhead compartment. For the really strict airlines, you'll want to get out your tape measure.

@christinae30 Год назад

Aren't there another compartment in the lid? Like for pens and notebooks etc?

@PackHacker2 Год назад

On this model, there’s just the larger one! -Eric

@christinae30 Год назад

Thanks! I am really interested in the new version ("only" have 1 farpoint + 1 fairview /blushing/) but I use that big outer pocket a lot, so good to know!

Happy to help! 😃

No admin compartment, just one pull zipper on laptop compartment. Well, looks like older version offered much more for one-bag carry on travel.

Thank you for this informative video, I bought the original Farpoint 40 in 2019 and I realised how much of a bargain it is in price now. Have used it on several overseas trips and it hasn't broken on me once, and I'm reassured by it's lifetime guarantee. Awesome stuff.

Please inform people that the warranty is really different in Europe compared with the "all mighty guarantee" warranty in the US.. Even your website didn't mention this. I almost bought this bag before I made sure to double check this..

My big dislike is that using it as a backpack is very hikey, as opposed to like the Cotopaxi allpa or etc.

I have been using a Osprey Porter 46 for 10 years. It is a 36 liter volume... Shame on Osprey. So is this 40 liter really a 30 liter? Oh and can the laptop sleeve be completely removed. The last thing I want on vacation would be a laptop. My phone can handle all travel coordination.

@felixxyzz Год назад

Why theres still not a normal water bottle holding system on the side of the bag? This is the most annoying Part of this Backpack and really doesnt make sense at all...

@MrRawUK 2 месяца назад

A shame the lower straps that go around the waist area cannot be folded and hidden. I'm disappointed they cannot be hidden making it more of a useable bag for all circumstances.

@starbase218 Год назад

I never understand why these kinds of bags have a grab handle on the side, and - in this case - the laptop opening on the side as well. Even in an overhead compartment in an airplane, I usually shove my backpack in lengthwise, because otherwise I'm taking up more space than I should. So usually the top will be facing me when I open up the compartment. I think, for me, the REI Trail 40 might be the better way to go. It's lighter as well. Still, this does seem like a nice bag if you want to be able to use it as a quasi suitcase as well. It does have a better laptop compartment than the REI, and I like that you can put something behind there. I'm thinking of documents that you might to keep (relatively) unwrinkled.

@PackHacker2 Год назад

Thanks for sharing your insights, Peter! We find the laptop compartment is an upgrade, but still a little odd. -Eric

REI Trail 40 is a hiking bag, not a travel bag...

@starbase218 Год назад

@@ciba20 And yet it has features like zippers that pretty much run all the way down, which is really not common to many hiking bags. Besides, I’ve traveled for 5 months with a photography backpack. I’m really not interested in these categories. Rather in what features a bag has. If I’m taking one backpack with me (which is how I like to travel), it should be adequate for everything I want to do with it.

@ciba20 Год назад

@@starbase218 I don't think you will find a backpack that is an EDC, commuter, a traveler, a hiker and a photographer at the same time. I have a PD 30 L v2, but it is not suitable for long distance hiking.

@starbase218 Год назад

@@ciba20 I didn’t use that photography backpack (37 liter F-Stop Loka) as my photography bag. I found the Think Tank Change Up v2 to be much better for those needs. :) I am also not saying anywhere that I want to do everything when I’m traveling. But I do want one bag that is adequate for everything that I want to do. Which includes hiking. I do also have a small packable daypack.

@@PackHacker2 Because the previous one had a place to put papers and pens and tech. They should have kept the front pocket where the laptop and tablet went in the old one, but only moved the laptop to the new location. This one just has the small toiletry pocket, which isn't as nice as old pocket.
