Farpoint & Fairview Backpacks

Osprey Farpoint & Fairview Series

Whether you’re planning a European interrailing adventure, a backpacking trip across multiple countries or a short city break, the Osprey Farpoint and Fairview series are specifically designed for the modern traveller. With the comfort of a backpack and the convenience and organisation of luggage, this range of travel backpacks is built to move easily, no matter where you take them, from airports and train stations to your accommodation. 

Unlike traditional hiking backpacks, the Farpoint and Fairview backpacking backpacks focus on organised travel, combining comfort and functionality, making packing and unpacking much easier when moving between destinations and providing better mobility than wheeled luggage when navigating stairs, uneven streets or busy stations.

Built for Modern Travel & Adventures

The Farpoint and Fairview packs include travel-specific features designed to make life easier while travelling, such as:

  • Carry-on friendly options: these carry-on backpacks are designed to fit within many airline cabin restrictions.
  • Organised compartments: the dedicated storage zones make it easier to separate clothing, travel documents and other essentials, allowing you to find what you need quickly.
  • Front-panel access: the suitcase-style opening allows for faster packing and easier access, compared to traditional backpacks.
  • Compression systems: the compression systems hold contents securely while maximising packing efficiency.
  • Stowaway harness systems: the shoulder straps and hip belts can be tucked away when not needed for safety.
  • Lockable zips: lockable zips and sliders provide added security when travelling through airports, train stations or in shared accommodation.
  • Lightweight but durable fabrics: built for frequent travel without unnecessary bulk.
  • Comfortable carry systems: with adjustable harness and supportive hip belts, comfort improves for longer walks.
  • Detachable daypack compatibility: some include removable daypacks, making it ideal for sightseeing or day trips.
