Farpoint 55-Liter Travel Backpack

Replaced as part of warranty, very good. Some improvements to original

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pack with sturdy construction. It's a bit heavy but feels like it will last forever. The adjustable straps are nice to get a good fit and really works to take the load off the shoulders. It's a bit awkward to get on and off in airports or train stations due to the large size and bulkiness, especially with the attached 15L daypack.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pack. I used it on a 2 week-long backpacking trip across Spain, and it held up very nicely. The 40L pack was very comfortable to wear with the straps adjusted properly. It is a bit on the heavier side, but the extra weight seems to necessary for its sturdiness. The hip belt and load lifters were essential for the pack being comfortable when wearing for hours at a time. I liked the compression straps, which really helped to tie down my clothes and keep them organized in the open cavity. I do wish there was a water bottle holder on the 40L pack itself. When it comes to the 15L daypack, I did not find it useful. The opening is quite small and makes it difficult to access things actually inside the main compartment. The daypack is also quite awkwardly shaped when filled with things. Because of its construction, the bottom half would bulge outwards while the top half remained slim. This made the entire assembly of 40L + 15L difficult when putting the pack through sizing for trains and airlines.

My original was much better circa 2018. The day pack now has hooks to loop through the main pack. Difficult to do by feel. The hoop on the shoulder strap is too high up so you are bending your arms a long way to reach the loop or need assistance. The internal frame is also attached to the bag with hoops. These are outside the zipped area that means they have to be detached before being zipped up. The daypack is not lockable. The day pack has a red toggle that previously in a daypack was to close the area where the computer was stored. This now appears to redundant. A retailer told me it was for a water bladder, but the daypack has no holes for a tube to go out through the bag? Straps have gone down to 15mm. All these changes now mean you have messed up my whole travel set up as I have extenders made to fit 20mm buckles. All in all I will be looking elsewhere going forward. Now feels cheaper.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Spent a week in Europe and it was perfect. Fit requirements for a carry-on. I was able to navigate hands free with great support with the belt strap.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great bag, haven't used it on a trip yet but very excited to, filled it with test clothes for about 7 days and they fit perfectly with room to spare.
