Epic Combo

I bought this pack for my wife and the Farpoint 55 for myself to travel India for a few weeks. Having just got back, these packs turned out to be perfect for our needs, we could fit in everything for our trip so we could fly with only carry on luggage from Scotland. We used the small packs for everyday walkabouts as they are very light and carry just enough for a short adventure. I went for an overnight trek into the Himalayas and the 40l main pack did the job well, very comfy to wear even when fully loaded. I did lots of research and glad I went for this combo pack, will be using them for a lot more trips!

Love It But

I love my new bags, plus the accessory stuff bag & the gadget bag I bought too. The stuff bag is an absolute star & I used it everyday on holiday. However I wish I’d bought the fairpoint backpack on wheels as I found the fairview heavy when filled. I love all the Osprey range it’s very good quality & smart. I will be adding to my collection soon.

Has Potential But. . .

I bought this as, on receipt, I discovered the Fairview 40 isn't big enough for any trip longer than a weekend. It seems like a nice day pack but I'm very disappointed that there's no secure way of attaching it to the Fairview 40. I don't feel at all confident that it would still be attached to the main bag by the time I retrieved it from the luggage carousel. It would make much more sense if the Fairview 55 was one pack that was big enough for a longer trip. This would also avoid the need to carry around two sets of straps.

Doesn't Fit Petite Frame

Love the bag, looks perfect, but it's impossible to get it to fit comfortably on a 5ft 2ish female frame. It either digs too much into the back of my neck or the plastic bits on the straps knock against my inner arm. Support were super helpful so I'm going to return and hopefully swap for another model

Do Not Buy. Get The 40l Instead

It is not at all obvious from the website or any of the online reviews of this pack, but the large pack that is part of the 55L version is NOT the same as the 40L pack sold separately. The 40L pack has a top pocket and a laptop pocket and two other outside pockets. The large pack that is part of the 55L version has none of those things and it is a GIANT pain to not have them. I don’t like the daypack at all. It’s strangely narrow and the outside pockets are too small and the zip enclosure doesn’t open far enough. And for some reason it makes my shoulders incredibly, unreasonably sore when I wear it for more than a couple of hours, even when I don’t have much in it. That has never happened to me with any other backpack. Do yourself a favor; buy the 40L pack along with some other daypack from somewhere else. Any daypack with loops on the front big enough to run straps through will attach to the 40L pack. I wish Osprey would have made the differences between the two versions clear. That said, other things about the large pack are nice. It seems to be well-constructed. The backpack support system is comfortable—enough so that I took it on a six day mountain backpacking trip without discomfort. The main drawback is that it has essentially nothing in the way of internal organizational structure; it’s just one giant compartment. That the 55L lacks the external pockets of the 40L compounds this issue.
