Know before you buy
Yes, with dimensions of 22 x 14 x 9 inches, the Farpoint 40 is designed to meet the carry-on requirements for most domestic airlines. However, it is always a good idea to check your specific airline's size policy before heading to the airport.
While it is engineered primarily for travel, the 4mm LightWire frame and adjustable torso fit provide enough support for light trekking or city walking. Keep in mind that it lacks some of the specialized features found in dedicated technical hiking packs, such as hydration bladder routing.
The harness and hipbelt can be zipped away behind a protective panel on the back of the pack. This creates a streamlined profile that prevents straps from snagging during transit or when checking the bag on smaller regional aircraft.
Yes, the laptop sleeve is located in a dedicated compartment that allows you to quickly pull your device out during security screenings without having to dig through your main luggage.
The Farpoint 40 is compatible with select Osprey daypacks, allowing you to attach a smaller bag to the front for extra capacity or quick-access items. This is a great feature if you want to keep your valuables close while leaving the larger pack in your hotel.
The pack is made from durable, recycled polyester with a PFAS-free DWR coating, which provides protection against light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof, so you may want to use a rain cover if you expect heavy or prolonged downpours.
