Osprey Europe Men's Farpoint 55 Travel Pack

Product Information

With all the organisation and clever features you need, it's time to share your next adventure with a Farpoint 55 backpack. It’s comfortable, it’s durable, it’s functional, it’s affordable… it’s just an excellent travel backpack. A cloth covers all the straps and the side handle makes carrying it as a suitcase easy if the need ever arises. Nate, the founder and CEO here at TL, has actually carried the Osprey Sojourn Porter 46 to over 60 countries so far! After relying on the Farpoint through 10+ countries, I’m thrilled to pass along the torch of insight.

For my trip to Croatia, I bought one that would be durable, comfortable, and with a suitcase opening. I don’t have to take another purse and a camera bag with me when I wander the streets of the city I am exploring. Our expertise in designing backpacks that fit every shape, size and gender dates back to 1974, when Osprey was founded on designing custom packs for mountaineers headed to the Sierra. Osprey backpacks come in different sizes, shapes, and colors to satisfy almost every kind of traveler.However, the Porter is a little smaller and less intense than Farpoint, making it a better option for short-term trips. This criterion includes socially acceptable production conditions and a transparent value chain for the products. There are also a bunch of other features like a removable daypack, lockable zippers, and a bunch more, but we’ll get to all that good stuff later in the review. The manufacture of sustainable products is characterised by the reduction or elimination of harmful chemicals.

Timescale to deal with your claim - for technical faults or repairs we use the services of the original manufacturer or nominated agent for inspection, testing and high quality guaranteed repairs. It was not made of the toughest fabrics, but they were more than adequate for travel and backpacking use, while remaining lightweight and supple for extended carrying times and odd shaped loads (like what you might take for a few days of backpacking). Osprey sells additional accessories, like a rain cover, for travelers who expect to be in extreme weather conditions.

This backpack is also the kind that has a zip going right the way round like a suitcase, unlike a toploader. It’s not going to win any awards for being most fashionable or chic backpack but I’ve seen a lot uglier bags. But the shoulder straps are really well padded and the hip strap/buckle also helps alleviate strain on the shoulders so I don’t think it would be too bad. Plus, with the integration of the daypack, you have a built-in option for day trips where you don’t want a big bag.
