Great bag, but not perfect
First, I loved this bag. It looks great, the volcanic grey is a cool gray green color, and it holds a good bit of stuff. I liked the hip straps, and the shoulder straps are nicely padded and comfortable. The outside pocket has a nice lined area for wet clothes or toiletries. There is ample space for a laptop in addition to two outer mesh pockets for either water bottles or shoes. The construction is super solid, as you would expect from Osprey.With all these great features, there are still a few downsides. I think the main complaint I have is that they tried to do too much with this bag. The shoulder and hip straps completely stow away in their surrounding zip up pocket, which wastes a good bit of valuable space, not to mention you have to roll up the zippered panel and shove it into its compartment when not in use. Also, there is a detachable luggage style shoulder strap, which I think is another waste, because why would I use a luggage style shoulder strap on a backpack. If for some reason you want to look like you are carrying a regular duffel bag instead of a backpack, you will love these features. I did not.I planned to use this pack for travel as a carry on, with the goal of it being my only luggage. As a test, I packed in my Eagle Creek Pack-It Garment Folder (medium), Eagle Creek Pack-It Half Cube, my toiletry bag, and a pair of shoes. It all fit reasonably well, but you could definitely feel the edges of the garment folder, and there did not seem to be much additional room.After a bit of consternation,I ordered a different bag that I had heard about, the Gregory Compass 40. The Compass 40 does not have hip straps, which is why I ordered the Osprey Farpoint 40 to begin with. However, after being honest with myself, I decided that I likely would only be using this pack to travel through airports, on shuttles, and in taxis, so while nice, the hip straps really weren't essential. When I received the Compass 40, I was able to fit the same amount of stuff (garment folder, half cube, toiletries, and shoes), plus an additional Eagle Creek Pack It Full Cube, and there was still room. I did not even use the expandable foot locker.In the end, I returned the Osprey. I would have loved to keep both, but I really could not justify doing so.pros- sharp looking useful bagcons- stowable straps waste a bunch of precious space, does not fit as much stuff as comparable Gregory Compass 40 pack

Perfect for one bag travel
This is the fourth bag I've tried for one bag travel and it's the best one so far. It's quite roomy at 40 liters but packs up into looking like a large backpack. The bag is about 3 lbs. The main compartment also opens up flat (like traditional luggage) so it's easy to find things when you open it up. I use two packing cubes (medium for clothes, small for undergarments) and have room to spare for two pairs of shoes (or more) in the main compartment.The thing that might bother some is that the laptop sleeve is in the front zip; it's ok for my MacBook Air but not sure how it would fare for others with a heavier laptop. Depends how you pack the rest of your bag as well.The front compartment is very roomy and this is where I store my cables/chargers and toiletry bag.Then there is a tiny zip pocket at the very front/top where you can fit things you might need on the go like pens, granola bars, etc.One of my favorite things about the bag aside from the quality of its build are the straps. They are well-cushioned and use a suspension system (not sure how it works but you can adjust the tension above your shoulders). There are also a chest strap and hip strap. Out of the bags I've tried (Patagonia MLC, Tom Bihn Tristar, Tom Bihn Aeronaut 30- my second runner up), this bag is the comfiest and I've used it for a couple international travels already with no discomfort. I should mention I have severe arthritis in my cervical spine and both shoulders.The last thing I should mention is when you stow the bag away in the bag hold or under the seat in front of you on a flight, you can zip away the straps and hip belt with a covering that is rolled up into the back/bottom part of the bag. Pretty awesome way to keep the straps from getting caught on anything.Love this bag. I read many reviews here and elsewhere as well as watched videos before buying it and the reviews weren't lying. If you are trying to do one bag travel, this may be the bag. Of course this bag would also be perfect for weekend trips. I've read on other sites not to use this for activities with long hikes or treks as there are bags more suited to those activities. Enjoy!Photos: fully packed for the Philippines. Will definitely post an update if I ever use this bag for cold weather travel. I'd be interested to see how well I manage one-bagging it then!

Amazingly sturdy and comfortable backpack!
I've taken this on my world trip and it hasn't failed me so far. The materials used seem very sturdy and durable. A lot fits into this backpack. With everything packed on, the weight of my backpack was between 10-12KG. I would have liked a bit more compartments to organize my stuff, but I'm satisfied with its current design. Especially on a discount (I got it for roughly 100 euros), this backpack is a steal.Do mind that the front bottle holders are hard to use when you pack too much in the backpack. Maybe it would have been nicer to have those placed on the side, or have the bands more elastic.

M.E. der Beste
Habe den Osprey Farpoint nun schon seit Jahren im Einsatz rund um den Globus in allen Ländern und Lagen. Der Alleskönner unter den Kofferrucksäcken in Handgepäckgröße. Alle anderen haben mich bisher nicht überzeugt, bzw. immer wieder zum Osprey zurückgekommen. Im Detail:+ Kofferrucksack. M.E. unerlässlich auf längeren Reisen um nicht andauernd alles ein- und ausräumen zu müssen+ Kofferrucksack im richtigen Design wie eine Muschel aufklappbar. Nicht wie ein Reisekoffer+ sehr wertiges Material. Quasi unzerstörbar und damit sehr sicher für Reisen+ sehr gute Reissverschlüsse, die sich unter dem Material befinden, damit nicht einfach so zu öffnen+ Material innen in sehr heller Kontrastfarbe um Parasiten oder Schmutz sofort zu sehen+ Tragegurte sind einfach unter einer Hülle mit Reisverschluss zu verstauen für Sicherheit bei Transport+ ausreichend Platz in 3 Fächern: 1 großes, 1 mittleres mit 2 Kleinfächern + 1 kleines für Schnellzugriff+ Größe ist genug für jede Reise, aber auch als Tagesrucksack oder für Wanderungen noch geeignet+ Guter Tragekomfort, auch für längere Zwecke wie Wanderungen+ relativ leicht+ haltbare Griffe seitlich und oben für Einsatz als Tasche- Design könnte besser sein, falls jemandem das wichtig ist- Das kleinere Fach reicht nicht über die ganze Länge, weshalb der Rucksack nicht selbst steht- bedingt durch dieses Design ist der Rucksack nicht so gut austariert.

Great back support
I love this bag, provides great support by using the hip belts and not just relying on the shoulder straps. Also has lots of space and there's a sleeve for the laptop too
