Good prices on Farpoint and Fairview 55L & 70L backpacks. Might be a while before borders open up and you can use them.

    Still for the farpoint 40 from early 2020 never used from a bargain, Suitcases and bags are just useless at this point, but I do still want one lol

      You can use it for hiking local national parks!

        These are more travel backpacks than hiking backpacks, so they'd be a bit of a compromise for hiking… Still cheap for Osprey stuff, they make quality gear..

          Excuse the ignorance but what's the difference between a travel and hiking backpack?

            @fufufu: Hiking packs are more light weight and comfortable to wear for a long time (all day). Travel packs are a little heavier though more convenient to pack and get stuff in and out of. Many hybrid packs around too if you want an allrounder.

          • FLICKIT on 09/02/2021 - 19:56
            +17

            @fufufu: I'm certainly no expert but I suspect a hiking pack would have better back ventilation, comfort, back length adjustment, drink bottle pockets on the side and/or a water bladder pocket, waterproofing is likely to be better, more straps to compress and tighten it all together so the load sits close to your back, and possibly straps for strapping wet tent or sleeping mat on the outside… Comfort and adjustability would be the main thing I assume…

            Travel packs often seem to have a side handle, a cover to go over the shoulder strap side to protect the shoulder/waist straps on airport conveyors, no extra pockets or straps which can catch on things, often not adjustable for max comfort…

            At the end of the day there's no reason why you cant use a hike pack for travel or a travel pack for multiday hiking, but a hike pack will probably need an extra cover or to be plastic wrapped to handle airport conveyors, and a travel pack would probably be fairly uncomfortable to wear all day for multiple days with a decent load…

            I bought a real cheap Blackwolf backpack as a foot in the door for multiday hiking, it "looked" ok but damn it was shocking, I ended up using it for 3 trips, 13 days total, then spent $300 on an Osprey Xenith, this thing is total luxury, it carries a load so much better and the load feels a lot lighter compared to the cheap pack, well worth the money… It's not worth compromising if you're going to be wearing a pack day in day out, IMO…

    • outofgamut on 09/02/2021 - 19:14

      I bought that and used it for a Queensland holiday this summer. Absolutely terrific bag!

  • pizzaguy on 09/02/2021 - 17:22

    Oh, hoped they'd be everyday backpacks.

    These are kinda convertibles, you can make them strapless/harnessless bags. Probably useful to some.

    • trongy on 10/02/2021 - 10:00

      Everyday backpacks are generally in the 25-35 litre sizing. These are larger for travel.

      you can make them strapless/harnessless bags

      Covering the harness is required when sending though airport luggage conveyor systems

  • YOLO on 09/02/2021 - 17:30

    Used these while on a trip to Europe a few years ago. Very compact and they unzip fully, useful for unpacking as you do not have to try to feel around but can unzip the entire bag.

      • Free shipping also excludes those items that are heavily reduced and are too cheap to ship for free. Shipping will be charged to your cart during checkout.

    I've visited over 50 countries with Osprey.
    Amazing brand, the backpack looks tired but still can be used.

    My next bag will be Osprey for sure.

          No offence intended. I was just impressed by your travel record, that's all. Sorry if my comment came across that way. That wasn't my intention. 50+ countries is no easy feat

        • foreverphoenix on 10/02/2021 - 08:20

          If it helps, your comment compelled me to buy one.. now I just have to find a away to travel 50+ countries to this this bad boy ;)

    I've taken the 70L model on a few trips now - looking back I would have gone a single 70L bag and a separate day bag over the 55L+15L in the 70L Farpoint. There's not a whole lot of a usable space in the day bag, 1L water bottle + jumper/jacket/hoodie pretty much filled it up for me. You're digging around for everything else which I find pretty inconvenient.

    Sturdy as packs though, mine has been through hell and I'm trusting it take me through at least another 10 years worth of travel.

  • Tatanga on 09/02/2021 - 19:10

    You might also consider the Osprey Porter 65L. It's $99 marked down from $229.95, but seems to be one big bag rather than a 55L pack plus a 15L daypack. They still seem to consider it too deeply reduced for free shipping, though.

    • booze101 on 09/02/2021 - 21:43

      how is this for bagpacking?

      • Sean R on 10/02/2021 - 02:39

        The Porter range is more like a backpack version of a suitcase, as it has top flap and well-organised interior. It's perfect for taking on a trip where it might be on your back for an hour or three while you're out and about on the way to your next destination, but it's not a serious hiking backpack.

    • Sean R on 10/02/2021 - 02:41

      The Porter 65 is too big for carry-on, but I can highly recommend the Porter 46 if you just want to take one carry-on bag.

      With good packing and use of some compression packing cubes and the Porter's straps, you can take enough for a week or more in the Porter 46 (and wash your clothes if you're staying for multiple weeks/months).

  • GafnYtHeLoRd on 09/02/2021 - 19:19

    Do they have a laptop pocket? One of those and I'd daily this

    • jus0212 on 09/02/2021 - 19:24

      I have the Farpoint 70L. The 15L pack has a laptop pocket which I believe can fit at least a 14" laptop. It is going to be right against your back which I don't know if it will be comfortable if you use the day pack only.

    • freshofftheplane on 09/02/2021 - 19:35

      Do you live in the office?

      • Tatanga on 10/02/2021 - 08:46

        If he lived in the office he wouldn't need a bag at all, now would he? No, he obviously works in an office, and sleeps on the streets.

  • evanssm2jp on 09/02/2021 - 19:42

    Cheers OP - bought 2 of the 55L (One for a mate - $25 shipping asme as one)… Does anyone know if these are small enough to take as a carry on for flights once we can travel again? I usually try to stay below the 7kg but the 25-32l bags I usually take are just a little on the small size….

    • jus0212 on 09/02/2021 - 19:50
      +1

      I did use my 70L as a carry on a few times. I packed it under 7kg and made as small as possible by tightening all the straps etc… However, I think it's a gamble, as the size of the frame is actually slightly too long.

    • jaypee06 on 09/02/2021 - 19:53

      I think the 55L is just the 40L with a detachable 15L day pack. If so, I know the 40L is widely touted as the perfect carry on bag as the dimensions fit almost all airline carriers' dimensions.

      • jaypee06 on 09/02/2021 - 19:55

        On second look 55L is slightly different shape, so you might have to tighten straps etc to make it smaller.

    • evanssm2jp on 09/02/2021 - 20:02

      Thanks for the info - just did some searching:
      S/M 3173 IN3 / 52 L 60H X 33W X 30D CM 1.7 KG
      M/L 3356 IN3 / 55 L 63H X 33W X 30D CM 1.77 KG

      From what I can find in Aus the carry on size is 56cm x 36cm x 23cm so this is just slightly oversized - I guess probably OK for some international trips depending on the airline, but might be a problem with some of the budget carriers… Most likely useless for travel in Europe if we ever get to that again…. Still, a good price and I'm guessing fairly durable…

    I have the farpoint 70l and I use the small backpack for my daily work purposes to carry to and from work. I used it for backpacking around Europe precovid and definitely recommend at that price point. RRP is around $200

  • [Deactivated] on 09/02/2021 - 23:01

    I got the Fairview 55L and I'm not happy with the quality at all! My previous bag lasted over 100 rough trips (and would still be going with the odd fixing had I not given it away)… this one will die way before hitting trip #10. Paid over 2x this deal price and will not buy Osprey ever again.

    • downhillmtbr on 09/02/2021 - 23:49

      FWIW, I had a buckle break on mine, contacted the local distributor and they paid for return postage and a free repair.

      All their bags have a lifetime warranty.

      • [Deactivated] on 28/02/2021 - 08:36

        Not useful when you’re in the middle of the Himalayas.
        Quality is poor. Never again.

  • Sean R on 10/02/2021 - 02:28

    The Osprey Porter 46 is the best carry-on bag I've seen. Tightening the straps reduces the size significantly, which means I've never had an issue taking it on the plane with me.

    The Porter is much better organised than the equivalent Farpoint - it's ideal if you're travelling around with just the one carry-on bag, and aren't doing serious hiking.

    The Farpoint is a better 'hiking' bag - better straps and fit on your back - but it fits less and doesn't have some of the features of the Porter.

    PS. Melbourne CBD store Backpacking Light have the Porter 46 on back-order for $135.95, down from $199.95.
