Travel backpack with a 40 liter capacity designed for airport travel and backpacking. OSPREY FARPOINT 40 meets carry-on dimensions for most airlines (55 × 35 × 23 cm), allowing you to travel without checked baggage. Weight around 1.5 kg, removable harness system, hidden straps under a zip panel and clamshell access to the main compartment make it a popular partner for minimalist travel.

Hidden harness system and clamshell access

FARPOINT 40 has hidden shoulder straps and hip belt under a zip panel – when checking in at the airport you tuck them inside to protect them from damage. The main compartment opens clamshell (like a suitcase) – you have full visibility of the contents and can pack conveniently. Straps across the main compartment keep clothing compressed, and an internal mesh pocket separates small items.

Padded handles and sturdy construction

Padded handles on the side and top allow the backpack to be carried like a duffel. The back panel is padded – comfortable for walking transfers between destinations. The front pocket provides a separate space for a laptop or tablet, the zipper is lockable (padlock not included – must be purchased separately).

Comparison with FAIRVIEW 40 and PORTER 46
