Osprey Farpoint 55
  • This pack is very comfortable. There is plenty of padding on the shoulders and hipbelt. Overall, a very good backpack!
  • Its perfect. The separable day pack is great for excursions or a plane carry on. The build quality is obvious.
  • The design is compact, easy to carry or handle. Waist strap a long with comfortable back support offer great flexibility.
  • The large bag is perfectly fine for clothes and other large items. Without it being completely full it fits well in overhead compartments on airplanes.
  • This is such a comfortable backpack that's lightweight and lockable and easy to open up and close and organize. I love the detachable daypack and the size is perfect.
  • The bag is nice itself but it is too large. Took it on overseas urban trip and it was a problem using public transportation.

What customers say about "Features"
Kelty Redwing 50 Hiking Backpack
  • I absolutely love this backpack. Very comfortable.
  • Great PerfectFit suspension, easily adjustable.
  • Great pockets for storage. Easy access to main compartment.
  • Very good, practical, excellent materials, comfortable and adjustable.
  • The quality is amazing and the design is simple.
Osprey Farpoint 55
  • The large compartments allowed us to have ample space to carry enough clothes for 5-7days plus a pair of shoes.
  • This pack has essentially all the features you would want. Detachable small pack that straps to the front, one large storage compartment.
  • A built in back saving design where are you can attach the day bag to your chest and the larger back to your back is ingenious.
  • The straps are easy to adjust, it's super comfortable even when it's heavy, and the detachable backpack is great for small day trips with a bigger trip.
  • The zippers opens wide, the waist straps keep the bag weight distributed, the small bag is good for other hiking essentials (water, leash, jackets).
  • I do wish there were a few smaller compartments in the main pack. A little disappointed that the day pack does not hold a hydration bladder.
