Product Information
Full details
The Osprey Farpoint 40 is designed for adult male travelers seeking a carry-on compliant backpack that blends backpacking comfort with travel convenience. Its key benefit is a comfortable, adjustable fit and excellent load distribution, making it suitable for longer journeys. A potential caveat is that its 40L capacity, while carry-on compliant, may be limiting for extended trips requiring significant gear. This pack features a stowaway harness and hipbelt, a laptop sleeve, and durable, bluesign® approved recycled fabrics.

FAQs
Is the Osprey Farpoint 40 truly carry-on compliant?
Yes, the pack is designed to meet domestic carry-on size requirements for most airlines. However, it's always recommended to check the specific dimensions with your airline before flying, as requirements can vary.
What is the weight limit for this backpack?
The recommended load range for optimal comfort and performance is between 7 to 16 kg (15 to 35 lbs). The pack itself weighs 1.48 kg.
Can I attach a daypack to the Farpoint 40?
Yes, the Farpoint 40 is compatible with the Osprey Farpoint™/Fairview™ Travel Daypack, which can be attached for added carrying capacity and flexibility. The daypack is sold separately.
What makes the fit 'gender-specific'?
The Farpoint series is designed for men, featuring a specific harness and hipbelt geometry for a comfortable fit. The Fairview series is the women's equivalent, offering a tailored fit for female anatomy.
How do I clean the backpack?
Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What material is the backpack made of?
The main, accent, and bottom fabrics are all bluesign® APPROVED, 100% recycled 200D nylon (or 420D for the bottom), treated with a DWR finish made without PFAS.
Does it have an integrated rain cover?
This model does not come with an integrated rain cover. Osprey recommends purchasing a compatible rain cover separately if you anticipate wet weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Pack feels uncomfortable or digs in
Ensure the torso length is correctly adjusted. Loosen or tighten the hipbelt and sternum strap for proper load distribution. Make sure the harness and hipbelt are stowed correctly when not in use.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Use a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) on the teeth to help it slide more smoothly. Ensure sliders are not forced.
Pack does not fit carry-on dimensions
Avoid overpacking. Utilize the WingJacket™ compression straps to reduce volume. Ensure the pack is not overfilled beyond its 40L capacity and check specific airline dimension requirements.
Harness/hipbelt doesn't stow properly
Ensure all straps are fully unbuckled and tucked neatly into the compartment before zipping. Check for obstructions in the zipper path.

Care Instructions:
