Osprey Farpoint Trek 55L Men's Travel Backpack, Black

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Bought this for trip to Indonesia. I didn’t wear the pack but used it more like a suitcase. Moving from hotel to hotel and easy access to clothing due to the full length zipper meant I never had to unpack to have access to everything in my pack. Also, a bit plus is the airline bag it comes with. It held so much more than just the pack. Shoes, other equipment, day packs, other odds and ends, etc…, all fit inside the outer bag which almost doubled my checked bag capacity. And it just looked so cool and tidy with the large osprey logo. It was an eye catcher on the baggage claim belt. I look forward to another trip where I actually wear the pack.

I got this for my husband who goes on a lot of western fire deployments. The straps and frame make it very comfortable to wear and the zipper is high-quality and moves very smooth.It provides plenty of space for a 14 day trip and he loves how it opens from the front instead of the top. Great quality and a good size.

Traveled to Italy for 10 days and this pack worked perfectly. My 2nd purchase..my wife loves hers and the lime green color. Lots of room and fits perfectly in the planes for traveling abroad.

Spent 5 weeks traveling Patagonia with this, taking a number of backpack trips. It's comfortable and functional. The rear-opening panel made it easy to access my gear. I carried loads up to 40 lbs with no problem. The aircover was nice to have when I checked my bag on airlines. It also functioned well as a rain cover when hiking. My only real complaint is that the side pockets aren't roomy enough to hold a water bottle when the pack is full. The pockets are pulled tight against the pack, and there's really only room for smaller items in them. I ended up carrying my water bottle in the top pocket, which is spacious, but is not accessible without taking the pack off.

Whether across the country or around the world, it has plenty of room, packs easy, and is easy to carry. Weight is distributed well. Have used in car, in plane, and on train.

Easily the best backpack I've ever had - and it even works as a carry-on bag. Even completely full, it feels light as a feather.

I specifically got this bag for both backpacking and traveling. Works amazing the weight transfer works really well and has alot of space. ALTHOUGH, my main issues with the bag have been putting it on, putting my arms through the straps has been pretty hard due to how narrow it is. My last complaint with the bag is it can be really hard to really pack it because of the zipper. I recommend if your looking for something specifically for backpacking/hiking look at some other options

Best backpack I have ever owned, and I've owned more than a few. Swallows everything and then the weight just disappears. There are so many excellent features, I'm not even going to bother listing them all because this would be a long review that you would never read. You're probably not even bothering to read this as it is. Just buy it. You will not be disappointed.My one complaint is that there is no option for vertical lashing. Lots of horizontal lashing, but no vertical lashing, which means it's possible for items to slip out of the lashings if you don't cinch them down tight enough or take extra care.
