The question of whether to choose a backpack or a travel bag is no longer relevant with the hand luggage-friendly Farpoint 40 from Osprey. It can be both, or to put it another way: the Farpoint 40 is a travel bag that can be carried as a backpack! With its compact 40 liters, the Farpoint is not only suitable for hand luggage but also completely free of annoying straps and belts that can get stuck in the airplane's overhead compartment. The complete and padded carrying system of the travel backpack disappears entirely behind a zipper cover, allowing the bag to be comfortably carried by the removable shoulder strap or two side handles. The top flap can be fully opened with a surrounding zipper. Hidden in the flap is a padded laptop compartment (15.4 inches), and there is a zippered mesh pocket on each side. On the outside of the flap, you'll find another zippered pocket and two mesh pockets for items you need to access quickly. The side compression straps help the Farpoint 40 from Osprey maintain its compact shape.
