FAQs
What is the capacity of the Farpoint 40?
The Osprey Farpoint 40 has a capacity of 40 liters, making it suitable for short to medium-length trips or as a primary carry-on for minimalist travelers.
Is the Farpoint 40 considered carry-on compliant?
Yes, the Farpoint 40 is generally designed to meet most major airline carry-on size restrictions. However, airline policies can vary, so it's always recommended to check with your specific airline before travel.
How do I adjust the fit of the backpack?
You can adjust the fit using the AirScape Backpanel's fine-tunable torso adjustment system. Ensure the hipbelt sits comfortably on your hips, then adjust the shoulder straps, sternum strap, and load lifters for a snug, balanced fit.
What material is the Farpoint 40 made from?
The Osprey Farpoint 40 is constructed from durable Polyester, providing a good balance of weight and resilience for travel.
Can I use this pack for hiking?
While the Farpoint 40 has a comfortable carry system, it is primarily designed for travel. It can be used for light day hikes or short treks, but it may not offer the same specialized features (like extensive external tool loops or hydration reservoir compatibility) as dedicated hiking backpacks.
Does it come with a rain cover?
The Osprey Farpoint 40 does not typically include an integrated rain cover. If you anticipate heavy rain, consider purchasing a separate rain cover designed for packs of similar size.
How do I clean my Farpoint 40?
For most cleaning, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, hand wash in lukewarm water with mild soap and air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or drying to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Pack feels uncomfortable or heavy on shoulders
Ensure the torso length is correctly adjusted to your body. Most of the pack's weight should rest on your hips. Tighten your hipbelt first, then snug the shoulder straps and load lifters.
Contents are shifting inside the pack during movement
Utilize the internal and external Straightjacket compression straps. Cinch them down firmly to stabilize the load and prevent items from moving around.
Difficulty accessing specific items quickly
Organize your items into the multiple dedicated pockets. Keep frequently used items like passports or snacks in the stretch-mesh hipbelt pocket or top internal pockets.
Laptop feels unprotected or vulnerable
Always use the designated direct access laptop compartment. This padded sleeve is designed to secure and protect your device from bumps and shocks during travel.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based spray) to the teeth and work the zipper back and forth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Farpoint 40 for optimal comfort is key:
- Torso Adjustment: Place the pack on your back. Locate the hook-and-loop adjustable panel on the back. Adjust it up or down until the hipbelt comfortably rests on your iliac crest (the top of your hip bones). The shoulder straps should wrap over your shoulders without gaps or excessive pressure points.
- Hipbelt Adjustment: Fasten and tighten the hipbelt so it's snug around your hips, bearing most of the pack's weight.
- Shoulder Straps: Pull the shoulder straps gently to remove any slack, ensuring they are snug but not digging into your shoulders.
- Sternum Strap: Fasten and adjust the sternum strap across your chest to pull the shoulder straps inward, improving stability. Move it up or down for comfort.
- Load Lifters: If present, these straps connect the top of the shoulder straps to the pack body. Tighten them slightly to pull the pack closer to your body for better balance.
Compatibility
The Farpoint 40 is primarily designed for adult travelers. Its 40-liter capacity is generally compatible with major airline carry-on regulations, though it's always advisable to check specific airline dimensions before travel. It's an excellent choice for short to medium-length trips, weekend getaways, and as a primary pack for minimalist travelers.
Care
Your Osprey Farpoint 40 is made from durable Polyester. To keep it in excellent condition:
- Spot Cleaning: For general dirt or small stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently scrub the affected area and rinse with clean water. Air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, fill a tub or large sink with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild, non-detergent soap. Submerge the pack and scrub gently with a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is gone.
- Drying: Hang the pack upside down in a well-ventilated area to air dry completely. Ensure all zippers are open to allow air circulation. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the pack's structure and coatings.
- Storage: Store your pack in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use.
