OspreyFarpoint Trek 55L Men's Travel Backpack, Black

I specifically got this bag for both backpacking and traveling. Works amazing the weight transfer works really well and has alot of space. ALTHOUGH, my main issues with the bag have been putting it on, putting my arms through the straps has been pretty hard due to how narrow it is. My last complaint with the bag is it can be really hard to really pack it because of the zipper. I recommend if your looking for something specifically for backpacking/hiking look at some other options

Really high quality pack. Huge. Plenty of space.

Bought one for my son in college.Sturdy abd well made to go through the airport baggage checks numerous times.Large enough for the two weeks long trip along the Mediterranean.Still looks new after several trips.

Spent 5 weeks traveling Patagonia with this, taking a number of backpack trips. It's comfortable and functional. The rear-opening panel made it easy to access my gear. I carried loads up to 40 lbs with no problem. The aircover was nice to have when I checked my bag on airlines. It also functioned well as a rain cover when hiking. My only real complaint is that the side pockets aren't roomy enough to hold a water bottle when the pack is full. The pockets are pulled tight against the pack, and there's really only room for smaller items in them. I ended up carrying my water bottle in the top pocket, which is spacious, but is not accessible without taking the pack off.

I love this backpack. I don't need any other travel luggage. This thing works and is so comfortable. I took it on a road trip through the jungles and beaches of Mexico, and it was perfect. It beats dragging your luggage around; I could hardly feel the weight. I do recommend traveling light though, avoid over-stuffing the backpack with unnecessary stuff. The material seems a bit light, but its size is perfect for a 2-week getaway. The only drawback is washing and cleaning it after a rough road trip through the mountains and jungle.

I almost sent this pack back! However knowing everyone else loved them I did more research as this was my first travel backpack. Once I figured out how to properly adjust it to my particular situation it was fantastic. YouTube will be your friend. 42 pounds packed wrong and adjusted wrong will hurt you! Correctly will be almost become part of you. I can get 2 weeks of clothes including a 3 piece suit in this thing. Enough large pockets to keep some things separated if needed.

Best backpack I have ever owned, and I've owned more than a few. Swallows everything and then the weight just disappears. There are so many excellent features, I'm not even going to bother listing them all because this would be a long review that you would never read. You're probably not even bothering to read this as it is. Just buy it. You will not be disappointed.My one complaint is that there is no option for vertical lashing. Lots of horizontal lashing, but no vertical lashing, which means it's possible for items to slip out of the lashings if you don't cinch them down tight enough or take extra care.

I'm a traveling firefighter currently and this bag works perfectly. I can bring all my bedding, change of clothes, laptop and more.
