AMAZING REVIEW. If only the Porter had the hip belt/straps found on the Farpoint, itd be a no brainer to get the Porter. The Farpoint 40 was updated and fixed the Water bottle mesh pockets AND the laptop sleeve is accessed from the side and slits into the back side. I still find the Porter 46 laptop sleeve more ideal even compared to the updated Farpoint. The Farpoint 40 is easier to pack and unpack and I find them more comfortable for longer treks because of its improved hip belt and strapping.

Great review. Instead of selling me on a new bag you reminded me of how much I love a bag I already own.. The Osprey Porter 46. When I first purchased it I was absolutely love with it. I called it the "straight jacket" and I never over packed it, cinching it tight, it was ballistic and my laptop had never been more well-protected! But I am a 5-foot 4-inch female and at over 3 lb this bag was just too much. There were so many design pluses is however I'm thinking on my next trip I may drag it out again.. Great review, cheers!

Thanks, I own a Porter 46 and it's honestly not my favorite osprey pack I own. was considering switching but I think that I would like the Farpoint even less. if you combined the Farpoint straps with the porter body I think I would like this bag a lot more, it's a hassle to have to assemble the straps every time you want to use it in "backpack mode" whereas the Farpoint you can just unzip quickly. I pretty much use it as a duffel. I Love the porter interior though! wish It had a waterbottle pocket but what I do is use a carabiner and secure the bottle under the Porter's "shell".

The Portal is a suitcase designed to accommodate a backpack type of transport, while the Farpoint is a backpack designed to accommodate items you'd bring on a trip. Both work equally well in their own right. I have used both and prefer the comfort of the Farpoint--Good review of both bags.

@Lagunakid24 I use the Farpoint more because it is a better option when I wear it as a backpack. The straps are more robust and holds large loads more comfortably. I have another Osprey travel bag that I am also using quite a bit; the Osprey Snowkit. Unfortunately, I think this bag has been discontinued, but it is a 46 liter that I use for general travel and works really well when I need more room than the Farpoint.

On the porter, the clips that connect the straps to the hip belt will be the primary point of failure.

Are they really carry on size? They both seem so big. Comparing the dimensions on the Osprey website with an airline like Ryan Air, I am convinced some dimensions are a good 10cm over! Yet the website and all forums insist it is carry on size! How can this be?
@OneBagTravels Жыл бұрын
I think the idea of a "personal item" and a "carry-on" is a little misleading, because the size of bag allowed will be dependent on the airline you are flying, and sometimes even the plane. For example AeroMexico just says a personal item must "fit under the seat" but in my experience, the space you are allowed under the seat will vary depending on the type of plane, and even which seat you are in (aisle vs window). So really when someone says it works as a "carry-on," that means it worked as a carry-on for their flight. But it won't necessarily work as a carry-on for every airline. RyanAir has several bag options that have different price points depending on where you're flying. Their basic included bag is considered a "personal item" and is limited to 40 x 20 x 25 cm. The Farpoint is 55 x 35 x 23 cm, so way too big for that. To take the Farpoint on a RyaiAir flight, you would need to pay extra for their 10kg wheelie-bag option which is 55 x 40 x 20 cm. This Farpoint is still slightly over the depth dimension for this one, but I think if you underpack the bag a little ( or take bulky gear like a jacket out and wear it on the flight) then you would be ok.

It should be fine for carry-on for the international flight, just don't overpack and check your dimensions before you leave. Local budget airlines in Europe (ie Ryanair) usually have smaller dimensions so check those before you fly if you have any. I'm curious about the update on this bag, the version I have is 22” x 14” x 11 (56 x 36 x 28 cm). You can easily pack it too full and go over the depth dimension, but if you under pack it a little the bag squishes down great and it's fine. The newer update lists the dimensions on the website as 21.5H X 14W X 9D IN (55H X 36W X 23D CM) slightly smaller in length and depth than the version I have.

I haven't used the Dayite packs with the Porter. There are 4 fabric loops on the outside the Porter where you attach the Dayite to. It looks fairly easy to attach, but it blocks access to the front slash pocket and main compartment. I've tried other packs where you attach a daypack to the outside and I don't like it. It seems like a good idea in theory, but if you have stuff in the daypack your bag ends up being huge and uncomfortabe. I would only use the Daylite attachment if it was empty.

Both backpacks have their pros & cons but I am going to order the Porter 46L from a reputable online store selling it for $55.93 for the same color you have. BTW, do you have any recommendations on the bag to protect any backpack for checking in? Thanks for the review!
@OneBagTravels3 жыл бұрын
That's a great deal! Osprey recently updated that pack with new fabric and some new features, I'm assuming it's the older version that's on sale. You don't need an additional bag to protect this one, just tuck the straps in and you can check it.

@@OneBagTravels I suppose the one you reviewed was the older version, right? BTW, do you think there is any value to add the shoulder strap to use with the Porter 46? Will it be too bulky for the shoulder strap to handle? The strap can only connect the bottom side of the Porter 46, I am concerned about the off center weight handling.

@@fw6500 The one in the video is the older one. They just updated it within the past month or so. I'm not a big fan of shoulder straps for bags that big, they tend to be too heavy for a shoulder strap to be much use, and it's uncomfortable to carry that way.

Does this mean wearing Porter would make your back easier to be sweaty than Farpoint?
@OneBagTravels3 жыл бұрын
That's exactly right! It's flat and there is more surface area on your back, less air ventillation makes your back hotter and sweatier, and no foam padding to soak up sweat.
@ValentSF3 жыл бұрын
@@OneBagTravels too bad. If it at least had a foam padding like on their transporter iterations, it would be much better, as I find their pockets more useful than on Farpoint's.

Is the farpoint 40 compatible with the daylite packs attachment?
@OneBagTravels2 жыл бұрын
Not the 40L Farpoint. Only bags that have those little fabric loops on the back will attach to the Daylite, like the Porter 30 and 40. However the Farpoint 55 has it's own detachable daypack bulit into the bag. It's a very similar setup to Farpoint+Daylite, which ends up being around 53 liters. But you don't need to buy the packs separately. The Osprey website doesn't have pictures of it, but they do at REI.

@@TheLifelongdream There aren't many options for a lightweight 40L pack that can hold that much tech. ULA Atlas is probably the lighthest, but doens't have a great laptop compartment. Pacsafe Vibe 40 is decent. Cabin Zero makes good packs, like the Classic Pro and ADV Pro 42 could work. Ebags Motherlode Weekend Jr. could work as well.
