I had purchased the original Farpoint (where the day pack could be attached to the main pack via a zipper). This original version had its problems (i. e. did not match carry on standards, etc) and eventually I had to replace the pack for the newer Farpoint because the day pack wouldn't attach to the main pack anymore (problem with the lining of the zipper). I am pleased and can confirm that Osprey delivered on their promise of a lifetime warranty. I received the new Farpoint 55 and noticed a few changes. The good thing is that it now follows airline carry on size requirements. What I don't like is that there is nothing actually attaches the day pack to the main pack - there are just 2 fastener buckles on the main pack that you put through the day pack to keep them together. The issue here is that if you have some heavier things in your daypack (i. e. laptop, etc), the day pack will slide down and dangle below the main pack. It doesn't feel comfortable nor does it feel really safe to have your items in the day pack (i. e. passport. laptop etc) not really attached to the main pack. Understand that many prefer to carry the day pack in front, but sometimes I travel with a toddler who is already strapped to my front.
