Osprey Farpoint Trek 55 Men's Travel Pack

Product Information

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.

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. But if you are going on a longer and more adventurous trip, I think the Farpoint Trek 55 will work really well.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. Integrated compression system. While the regular Farpoint which has no internal organization features, the Trek does have several. 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.

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. 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.The Farpoint 55 and Fairview 55 are essentially the same product; the only difference is that the Fairview is a women’s specific version. Initially, I was very sceptical about this combination but by testing this product I have had my mind well and truly changed. 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.

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.

It is available in just two sizes, both of which are too big to be considered a carry-on. And that is one reason why I’m not so impressed with the travel aspect of this bag. 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 Osprey Farpoint Trek FAQs Osprey Farpoint VS Osprey Farpoint Trek – Which Should I Choose? The Farpoint and the Farpoint Trek, which one is for you? But I think the best fit for this bag is actually round-the-world or gap-year travelers who will travel mostly overland.

If you are spending a summer city hopping around Europe or Southeast Asia the standard Farpoint will suit you perfectly. On the other hand, if you are heading to South America and planning a few hiking trips, the Farpoint Trek will be much better suited to the task! When you’re out hiking and it starts to rain, the AirCover also works as a rain cover. Because the AirCover is not designed to be a rain cover first though, it may not be 100% effective. Still I find this extra level multi-faceted ability to be very impressive and better than nothing. 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. 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 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.I’ve had the chance to use it both as a general travel bag and while trekking (the longest was a 5-day trek). The outside of the Farpoint Trek 75 is covered in various attachment points for extra gear. From the daisy chain style loops to the mount points for the rain cover, Osprey have covered all their bases here. 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.
