Osprey Farpoint Trek 55 Men's Travel Pack

Product Information

By the way, the Trek version of the Farpoint does not have an S/M or M/L version, since it can be adjusted to any height. But if you don’t spend a lot of time outdoors, then you’re better off with the classic Farpoint. It’s better suited for travel, and it is available in more sizes.

There are also 70-liter versions, though I personally consider these too large for general travel purposes. Features of the Farpoint Trek 55 The Trek opens from the side, like a suitcase. The items in the center are held together by compression straps, keeping everything else in place too. The other common question I get is if the 40L carry-on size is big enough for certain trips. I think traveling minimally is great, but there are some trips where you might need a bit of extra space. If you are on the fence about how much space you need, then the Farpoint Trek 55 is a really nice step up from carry-on. But if you are going on a longer and more adventurous trip, I think the Farpoint Trek 55 will work really well. 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.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 Integrated compression system. While the regular Farpoint which has no internal organization features, the Trek does have several. The Farpoint 55 and Fairview 55 are essentially the same product; the only difference is that the Fairview is a women’s specific version.

The Farpoint series is technically unisex, but there is now also the Osprey Fairview 40. This is a women’s specific edition with some tweaks for extra comfort. When reviewing the Farpoint Trek 55, it occurred to me that it could be part of a very cool set-up for long-term travel. What are the differences? Well, the Fairview 40 has slightly smaller dimensions, but has been made more comfortable as it is designed for the female body. Also, the shoulder straps curve along the body, creating a better fit-for-women design. Initially, I was very sceptical about this combination but by testing this product I have had my mind well and truly changed.If I were going on a big round-the-world trip or gap year today — one that would take me through multiple climates — I would likely go for this set-up instead of just a single carry-on. Conclusion Since I am a dude I can’t speak from personal experience here, but many women travelers I’ve met have told me they love this edition. Support for a water bladder. A water system for trekking is not included, but you can easily add one if you want.

Whether to buy the Farpoint or Fairview 55 or another version depends on your space requirements and whether you’re into the 2-in-1 system. You can consider several configurations based on your needs: No, there is just one size. It used to have a S/M and a M/L version but no longer. There is now only one size: O/S. Unlike the classic Farpoint series, the Frpaoint Trek is only available in two sizes, neither of which is small enough to be considered a carry-on when you’re flying. But I think the best fit for this bag is actually round-the-world or gap-year travelers who will travel mostly overland.The Farpoint 55 Trek is ideal if you’re looking for a bag that you can use for travel and potentially for trekking as well.

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. The Farpoint 55 Trek is not only for trekking, but it’s definitely a lot more suitable for it than the other Farpoint editions. It’s much more comfortable, has better padding, and has an integrated rain cover. The latest edition has an adjustable harness. This means you can move the harness up or down by up to about 3 inches or 8cm. 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.

Although the Farpoint/Fairview series isn’t necessarily designed for hiking, they are comfortable enough to take on hikes during your travels. Where to buy Osprey Farpoint 55 When product pictures of the new Farpoint got released, I saw many comments on forums comparing it to the Osprey Porter. They do look a bit similar in pictures, but the Farpoint is absolutely NOT as structured or as stiff as the Porter.
