Osprey Farpoint has CHANGED! 😲 (First look at new design)

Buy it at Osprey US:
Buy it at REI: www.indietraveller.co/ref/osp...
Btw, the Fairviews are being updated too! These are exactly functionally the same as the Farpoint, but with a women's specific fit. At the moment it seems some people are finding the new editions in European stores, maybe not yet in US ones, but I wanted to share this review right away so you can decide whether to wait or to grab any of the old ones in a clearance sale.

Check my full FP40 & FP55 review here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/honOe6ufjN9rj68 Two corrections to this first look video: 1) I show the daypack being attached to the back with two straps going into the shoulder straps. This isn't correct! You're supposed to loop the two compression straps on the back of the main pack through the daypack to attach it. You're NOT meant to use the load lifter strap clips for this. I got this pack without any kind of manual or info from Osprey so I just had to guess 😂 2) The Daylites can't clip into the front of these packs. You can still however attach them to the back.

[@markin_]

Thanks for your review! I was struggling to understand why some stores were selling the “same” backpack for different prices. The “carry on” update is a game changer for me.

[@jasonngldn]

Although, it actually now makes more sense to get the 40, and the daypack separately. You then have options, depending on the length of your trip - and you can fit your laptop in either.

[@markin_]

@@jasonngldn it makes sense, but it’s more expensive, thought.

Man Osprey you ALMOST had it. All they needed to do was add a laptop storage within the FP55 interior and I’d be sold.

[@AT-sx2jp]

I bought the Fairpoint 40 and the day pack so that I could get the same system but with a laptop slot in the main bag. I put my down jacket and rain jacket in the laptop pocket so that they’re both within easy reach.

[@williamwchuang]

I actually don't want it. If I bring my laptop I put it in a sleeve and drop it in my bag..

[@yaowsers77]

I was just on their site this morning and the 40 wasn't on there. I didn't know about this new design that can be used as a true carry on. Thanks for the video! I had bought a daylite so I'll probably use the main pack of the 55 with the daylite and skip the day pack that comes with the 55.

[@weather120widget8]

Thanks for the review. I love the map

[@ashleygabriellea]

This was so helpful as I kept finding feedback about the older versions of the 55L. I was going to grab the 40L so that it was a carry on, but maybe I might as well grab this new 55L since it seems that its essentially a 40 with a daypack.

[@Champion-jb6uj]

I would love an old one

[@MP_pov]

Good video. I own the original Farpoint 40 as well as a load of other Osprey backpacks and wheeled bags, so am familiar with them. These changes are all very welcome, I may go to my local store and see if I should upgrade. The 55 now is a really good solution for flights with 2 cabin bag option (like Wizzair Priority). There is only one issue for me still - the water bottle pockets. Osprey should put them on the side, not the front (or back, depending how you look at it). The front is massively impractical, also it moves the balance of the bag even further back.

[@waylinnelson]

Great video! Would love to see a review on the 40 and also a comparison video with the 55 vs the 40. Thanks a lot for putting together a great video!

So glad I saw this video before I bought! Two questions, could you do more of a video on how the daypack attaches to different backs now and how that changes things like buying older models and just a day pack. Also what packaging cubes do you recommend for use with these bags and how many? Thanks 😊

[@indietraveller]

I definitely plan to do a more complete video but that will probably take a few weeks. My favorite packing cubes are the ones by Peak Design, or if you're on a budget, the cubes by eBags. I usually go for one big + one medium cube for storing clothes

Hi, love your review. And the first one for the new Farpoint too!! Just curious, do they have load lifters on the shoulder coz i didnt noticed you’re using it And Does it have a flat base instead of the odd tilted base on the old ones?

[@indietraveller]

Good questions! I can confirm it has load lifter straps (they weren't connected in my video). The base appears to be a bit slanted... the pack can potentially tip over if you put it on the floor

[@bianchialex]

Are there any other backpacks we should consider? For me, I think the Salkan is the big other option. I am not opposed to getting a Farpoint 40 + a different daypack with a little more support.

[@indietraveller]

Great review, i have the previous 40L version.. I like the thing they change the laptop pocket close to the back but i dont really like it does not have any more the water bottle pockets, i find them very usefull.. Otherwise Farpoint is a great backpack i used it a lot in short and long trips over a month in Asia and its still like new!

[@akmofo]

Very comprehensive review. Thoughts on the new version of this bag vs. the Salkan bag you previously reviewed?

[@indietraveller]

Hmm good question. Salkan definitely has a better suspension system... more padding and comfortable. I also like the Salkan's daypack (it's a bit more spacious). But FP55 is carry-on and the outer materials used don't stain as easily.

[@akmofo]

@@indietraveller Thanks for response!

[@andrew2272kag]

This was a helpful video, but I can't tell, what you're supposed to do with the flap that hides the straps when you've unzipped it and took them out. It looks like it should fold under itself into that little gap but it doesn't seem to work very well and seems like it's break the zips from stress.

[@sleepingfaster]

Thanks for sharing! Was trying to find comments. With the new way the daypack attaches, is it possible to shove a jacket between the main bag and daypack?

[@indietraveller]

Haven't tried but a light jacket probably yes. Interesting idea

[@fredbutnormal]

Thanks for doing this great review and overview! I am planning a trip very soon and just bought the old design so the timing of this is crazy, but it doesn't seem like the new version is available anywhere yet. Do you happen to have any insider information on when they are planning on making it available? (Or if I am being dumb and it is available, do you know where?) I am hoping it might still be possible to return the old version and get the new one in time for my trip

Hi! Really good review! I'm going backpacking around south america from december - march. Would you recommend the new 55 fairview or the fairview trek 50? If you don't have knowledge about the fairview would you recommend the Fairpoint 55 or Fairpont TREK 55?

[@indietraveller]

For south America I'd go with the trek. Less essential to be carry on & greater back comfort for a long journey. Related post: www.indietraveller.co/best-backpacks-for-south-america/

[@Bigsky1886]

It still depends on the gatekeeper, the measurement helps but if the person doesn’t want to allow it can be difficult to bring it onboard.

[@sdnalyam]

Thanks for the updated information. I have the old farpoint 70 and will be downsizing. Now that the 55 is carryon do you know if the trek 55 is also carryon?. I do a lot of travelling in areas where I have to walk a few kilometres to the campground or beach hut etc. I also like that the daypack has now got rid of the zipper around the edge.

[@indietraveller]

Nice! The Farpoint 55 is carry-on only because of the detachable daypack. The Trek 55 doesn't have that and its dimensions definitely exceed carry-on limits (actually by a lot so I don't think you can get away with not checking it in).

[@sdnalyam]

@@indietraveller . Thanks.

[@pilotscott1204]

I still haven't figured out the Daylite to Farpoint Trek and Farpoint equation. I just sent back a brand new Daylite because the side synch buckles that should connect to the Farpoint Trek;s shoulder straps were Woojin 5/8", which obviously won't connect to the 3/4" YKK buckles on my 2 year old Farpoint Trek shoulder straps. Did they change buckles at some point?

[@indietraveller]

Not aware of this! I clipped a new Daylite Plus into an older Trek (from when it was launched) and it worked. But maybe Osprey is being inconsistent with its products. It's hard to choose between the different setups for sure...

[@BUbbleyGRL51]

I have never flown Ryanair but will be taking a trip next summer which will include a few of their flights, would this work for their carry on rules? Also, are zippers lockable?

[@indietraveller]

Yeah it should work within Ryanair's requirements. The zippers are lockable

[@luciobellocchio5312]

Hi! Nice review... It seems that it doesn't come with the shoulders traps, right? And i think that the new F40 you can clip the daypack in front and back as well. It would be nice if you can compare the new F40 and F55 one day. Thanks

[@indietraveller]

Hmm not sure what you mean about the shoulder straps. I just looked at the FP40 product images and you're right, I see a clip on the back there too! I guess not a lot of space for the daypack, but still possible to attach..... need to get an FP40 and do a comparison video :)

[@LisaMinBoulder]

Yes, you can clip the daypack into the back/outside of the new F40. It has clips in the top back area just like the 55, and also on the front of the shoulder straps like the 55. Nice feature!

The older Farpoint 55 model was available in two back lengths, the SM sized pack being 2" shorter than the ML sized one already met the carry on requirements. Unfortunately most reviewers only getting the ML bags missed that difference back then and instead recommened getting the significantly smaller Farpoint 40, I found all that out by accident when examining both bag sizes in the store. Thankfully Osprey now switched to one back size and made the whole bag shorter and slightly wider. The mesh pockets of the daypack are still worthless, I recommend using the newly designed Osprey Daylite Plus instead, it can easily be strapped onto the Farpoint.

Yesterday I got an email notification from Osprey saying that the new UPDATED FP40 is now in stock, I immediately jumped on their site and was able to order one at the new price of $185. Today I checked and they are once again out of stock, anyone waiting for this bag should sign up to get notified once it is back in stock. It seem like limited stock has been trickling in over the last couple of weeks on the FP40. I was also able to get a FP55 for $220, they seem to have limited stock of the FP55 as their website shows low stock at the time of purchase.

The day pack with the zipper attachment was the best design for travelers. Taking that away was absolutely idiotic.

I have always found that if you fully pack the main that it is nearly impossible to zip on the daypack. I can understand that the from a security standpoint that the zipper method is more secure but I discovered on the metro in Mexico City that wearing the daypack in the front was actually much more secure. Someone tried to pull off the backpack as I was entering the car just as the doors were closing. Having the daypack in the front made this impossible. So from now on, in any somewhat sketchy areas I always wear the daypack in the front.

You can’t please everyone, I’ll bet you can find someone who is pissed the laptop sleeve was moved to the back 🤷‍♂️

He hasn't clearly used the backpack because he has impressions! Sad because I liked the video and his review of the old and new models :(
