I’ve just bought this for my two week trip to Thailand in December. Last year we did three weeks and I took a regatta 70L. It was so stiff and annoying to lug around. Ended up with a lot of back pain. This time I’m packing lighter and more compact. I think this pack will be perfect.

[@doublepanthers3088]

Thanks, Christine. I'm considering this pack and your review has been quite helpful. I think next on my list is to drag my kit down to my local store and see how well it would work for me.

[@DD654-jx9kl]

That’s an amazing update! Thank you so much for your video! I really love girls reviews!

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for watching! 😃

Thanks for the extensive review, especially about the water bottle carrying issue.

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for watching! 😃

[@korearafat]

great content

[@Nonchalant_Wanderer]

I think I’m going to buy one! 😍

[@ab1461]

Thanks, this was a really good review! Wondering how it compares to the Thule Aion 40L? I don't see any reviews of it on the channel, but they seem quite similar. I'm looking into buying a new 40l backpack and these 2 seem really great! Does anyone know more about this?

[@MP-fi2fi]

What happened to the iconic lime green interior?? I wish Osprey would bring it back!

[@skeifhrbegsyeywu]

Thank you!

[@PackHacker2]

😃

[@horiiizon3457]

does the suspension system cut into the main compartment? I dont understand how a bag with sush a C shaped suspension system has the same capacity as another 40l bag with same measurements but a normal flat suspension system.

[@hell0myly]

Are the straps hard for u? Mine feels so stiff and hard

[@DB-et4sz]

Very nice explanation ❤❤

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for watching! 🤙 -Eric

[@BatManWayneCorp]

Nice, thanks a lot! I still believe the Osprey Porter 46 is the better backpack for business trips, since it has both a top access Laptop compartment and a front organization pocket, however, the Farpoint/Fairview have a hugely advanced Strapsystem. If Osprey were to give the Porter the strap system they currently reserve for the Farpoint, they'd have created the non-plus Ultra Travelpack, imho

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for sharing your insights! 😃 -Eric

[@coreygardner59]

Porter is a great bag, but a lousy backpack. Very uncomfortable to wear if you have it completely full with a laptop.

[@BatManWayneCorp]

@@coreygardner59 Agree, I'd definitely prefer the new Farpoint 40 (with the laptop sleeve in back), if it had an organizer area where I can keep all my other work related stuff. But the way it is, I prefer if the other participants of the business meeting I've traveled to don't see my dirty laundry when I need to grab my mouse or Laptop charger.

[@AriezGirl_78]

@@PackHacker2 can the fairview be tucked underneath the seat?

[@opheliaretardanta8348]

I feel I like Osprey needed to include the bright interior easier for visually looking for stuff and having the option previously for different torso sizes if you need it

[@PackHacker2]

Thank you for sharing your insights with us! We appreciate it 🤙 -Eric

[@ljj9096]

Any day pack videos?

[@hanaineu]

What colour is this one? I got mine in Zircon red and I am a bit confused with adjusting the harness. If I dont pack much, I will need to have the harness goes down 4 level and tighten up the upper belt (from the shoulder to the top of the backpack). Do i do it correctly though?

[@bh3880]

Thank you for the review! Is this the "Night Jungle Blue" colour? Crazy how it looks kinda green on their website pictures, but looks really blue in this video

[@sophiaefthimiou8537]

I'd also like to know the answer to this :)

[@mandolina6280]

I checked the bag colour with a 'colour pick up' application. It's quite hard to determine this colour. Even with a phone it's hard to take an exact colour. The colour changes in different environmental lightning. If it hits a shade - it looks more greenish, if it's exposed more to sunlight - it looks more blue. Color picker picked up a hex code #163945. But this code is more true in darker conditions. And it looks like a colour on the website. In the lighter condition colour picker picked up hex code #266691. That's because in video the bag looks blue (in video it even looks more light blue, I think because it's very tricky to take a video/photo of this exact colour).

[@durpyrainbowp8405]

I think this is the Night Jungle Blue because it’s the only of the 3 options with light grey hardware. Hope this helps! :)

[@MorriganShay]

I'm so mad I can't find the older model anywhere! I don't tend to take a lot of electronics, especially a laptop, and I prefer the organization of the old one :(

[@linnaa3]

same!!! still looking...if u find please tell me!

[@MorriganShay]

@@linnaa3 I found mine on breathe outdoors (online) but I can't find it anymore

[@maesae7814]

Mercari and Poshmark for second hand.

[@SMHartNPC]

Agree, I just bought a new one, and the features are different. The water bottle slot is now just a large open compartment, and no laptop compartment. There are also these weird dangle clips on the shoulder straps, in addition to the attachment points that I don't know what they are for, they kind of just hang there and get in the way

[@cbucks95]

Do the Farview and Fairview come in different sizes anymore (S/M, M/L) or has this been replaced with the adjustable torso

[@opheliaretardanta8348]

On the Osprey website it only comes in one size available not like before with the different sizes

[@dushyantsumrani78]

It is available in India ??

[@Nikam98]

Does anyone know when this comes back into stock? Can’t find in Australia anywhere. Willing to buy online

[@pan0ptica]

I ordered mine on amazon about 10 days ago while it showed as currently not in stock. Today they charged my card and it is being packed up.

[@Nikam98]

@@pan0ptica thanks! I found a stockist of Osprey willing to order me one in… so I think I’ll try this first otherwise I’ll try Amazon. Thank you so much

[@pan0ptica]

@@Nikam98 Good luck! I just got mine. So nice. I ordered the black version which has a beautiful teal interior, brighter than in the official pictures 🤩

[@Nikam98]

Hey Nicole! Can you please drop the Amazon link to the one you purchased? I think I’m going to wait a couple more days to see if this seller wants to order one for me but if not I might go Amazon as well. I have bought from Amazon only once before… is Amazon real brands or is it like fakes of the brands? I just don’t know! I am so glad you got yours and you’re happy with it ahhhh 😍 so exciting for you.

[@pan0ptica]

@@Nikam98 strange,, I think my reply got deleted, perhaps because there was a link? Not sure. Anyway, I am in Germany. Sorry for the confusion. Still says unavailable for the black fairview 40 on Amazon, but apparently they were able to send out a few. Yes, it is 100% genuine, in Germany Osprey has a store within Amazon if that makes sense.

[@AriezGirl_78]

Can this be tucked underneath the seat?

[@poetsbriefcase]

I have traveled with this bag as a carry on item and it did fit under the seat in front of me but it was only 3/4 full. I think if it were completely filled it would be too bulky to shove under. Dimensions are right for it but not when super stuffed.

[@AriezGirl_78]

@@poetsbriefcase Thank you

[@sergiodcarlo]

I'm a man. Can i use the farview? I couldn't find the farpoint...

[@PackHacker2]

Depending on your frame size, of course!

[@wl5609]

This is not the updated version of the Fairview, its the older one..🙄

[@PackHacker2]

This is the new one 😃 -Eric

[@wl5609]

@@PackHacker2 Oops, you're correct, my bad..😉
