Since I'm on the short side, I bought the small version of this Farpoint, which is actually 38 liters. That size seemed perfect for my 5'8" frame.
Here's what I loved:
1) Excellent workmanship with tough materials. It's built very well and inspires confidence. Materials are first-class and zippers are tough and precise.
2) Extremely comfortable. With two usable "modes" (backpack or bag), there is no compromise with it being a backpack. It's fully outfitted with stabilizer straps and a chest strap. When loaded it's extremely usable as a backpack.
3) Super easy to convert between the two "modes." It literally takes about 10 seconds to go from bag to backpack and vice versa.
4) Super comfortable side handle and top handle when using it in bag mode.
5) Practical Design. As a bag, it opens like a typical clamshell travel bag--providing easy access if you need to open it all the way. It also has compression straps if you don't need all the space.
6) Great price compared to other backpack/bags like this. I learned through my research that this type of solution is part of its own genre. There is an entire segment of the travel industry producing these types of backpack/bags. Frankly, most look overpriced and not as practical--although some have a sleeker look and look less like a backpack.
7) True carry-on size for most airlines. Will fit in overhead bins.
Insignificant Issue:
1) The "Volcanic Grey" color is actually more like a deep green. Certainly greener than I expected or wanted. But it's such a great solution overall I can't really complain. I still love it.
Frankly, this experience opens my eyes to the Osprey brand. I'm assuming this is representative of all their products and, if so, this is a great company with great products.
***Note: I over-packed for my Europe trip and also had a spinner bag that I checked for my flights. I believe that with careful packing and leaving half my stuff home (stuff I never used), I could have made this my main bag--taking perhaps one other separate, smaller camera bag for my camera.***
1) easy to access main compartment that makes packing very easy. It has two straps within the main compartment to tie down/ compress your clothing.
2) secondary (laptop) compartment helps organize additional smaller items.
3) great top pocket for easy access items
4) outside straps that compress the backpack further, stabilizig the weight, and making it carry on appropriate. If you only carry a few things, the straps compress the backback flush against your back.
5) excellent placement of handles- one one the side and one on the top. Easy to grab it from overhead bins
6) backpack straps are very ergonomic and comfortable
7) love the fact that you can zip away the shoulder straps when you stow the backpack away to prevent straps from catching on anything.
I have used this backpack already on 5 flights and it has been awesome. Packs a lot, easy to carry, looks great (not the least important factor) and seems to be very durable.
The ONLY thing i could possibly complain about is that i ordered this color (thought it was black) but the backpack came in as dark olive green. I disnt realize in time and cut off the labels, still a great color, hence no penalty on the stars. Just make sure you check when you receive it.
Bottom line, this is a great backpack that will serve as both a daypack and a trusty carry on sized backpack that can haul a surprising amount of stuff.
Love it.
WHAT I LIKE:
- Inner straps in the main compartment to compress your stuff (bonus compression: use packing cubes!)
- Outer straps to keep the overall bag together (relieves pressure on the zipper as well)
- Bright fluorescent green interior makes it easy to see the stuff that you put inside the bag, especially in the front tech section (laptop / tech zipper compartment).
- Nice suspension system with adjustable shoulder straps, sternum strap, and waist strap. The semi-rigid back provides a good transfer of weight to the waist strap
- As a neat freak, I really appreciate the fact that you can hide the suspension system when not in use or when storing in an overhead compartment. It not only makes the bag a lot more sleek looking, it makes it easier to load and unload the bag.
- Top and side handle make it super easy to carry in "duffle mode". An included padded shoulder strap completes the transformation to a duffle.
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT:
- There are two front external pockets for water bottles, but, they aren't accessible in backpack mode. It would've been nice to have at least one such pocket on the side.
- There is a good sized zipper pouch in the front laptop / water bladder section. I would've preferred that instead of one big zippered section, that there were a few smaller sections. If you put a bunch of smaller items in this pocket, they will have a tendency to slide down and bunch up. Since I was using this in a non-hiking capacity, I have things like pens, business cards, cell phone accessories, etc. that I packed, but, there really isn't any other place to put those kinds of things except in this one large area. I have thought about buying a tech pouch or GridIt storage grid, but, that adds a bit more weight and complexity to the bag. It's a small gripe and doesn't change the way I feel about this bag in the least.
Oh, did I mention that I had no issues with this bag as a carry on for either international (JAL) or domestic (SWA) flight?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 26, 2023
Do mind that the front bottle holders are hard to use when you pack too much in the backpack. Maybe it would have been nicer to have those placed on the side, or have the bands more elastic.
Fantastic bit of kit holds loads it’s 40 ltr if bag for flying with this is one
+ Kofferrucksack. M.E. unerlässlich auf längeren Reisen um nicht andauernd alles ein- und ausräumen zu müssen
+ Kofferrucksack im richtigen Design wie eine Muschel aufklappbar. Nicht wie ein Reisekoffer
+ sehr wertiges Material. Quasi unzerstörbar und damit sehr sicher für Reisen
+ sehr gute Reissverschlüsse, die sich unter dem Material befinden, damit nicht einfach so zu öffnen
+ Material innen in sehr heller Kontrastfarbe um Parasiten oder Schmutz sofort zu sehen
+ Tragegurte sind einfach unter einer Hülle mit Reisverschluss zu verstauen für Sicherheit bei Transport
+ ausreichend Platz in 3 Fächern: 1 großes, 1 mittleres mit 2 Kleinfächern + 1 kleines für Schnellzugriff
+ Größe ist genug für jede Reise, aber auch als Tagesrucksack oder für Wanderungen noch geeignet
+ Guter Tragekomfort, auch für längere Zwecke wie Wanderungen
+ relativ leicht
+ haltbare Griffe seitlich und oben für Einsatz als Tasche
- Design könnte besser sein, falls jemandem das wichtig ist
- Das kleinere Fach reicht nicht über die ganze Länge, weshalb der Rucksack nicht selbst steht
- bedingt durch dieses Design ist der Rucksack nicht so gut austariert.
