In need of a travel-focussed backpack for your next overseas adventure? Look no further. We’ve teamed up with Osprey to offer you a chance at winning their flagship travel pack, the Farpoint (men’s) or Fairview (women’s) 55L backpack.
Here at Outdoors Magic, we’ve been testing the Farpoint for a few months now. Across five separate trips, including an adventure-packed excursion to Croatia’s Dalmation coastline, we’ve found that it’s a genuine game-changer that can hack the airline system while delivering serious outdoor performance at the same time.

OM editor Will said: “Osprey has clearly learned from years of traveller feedback with the Farpoint 55 (the women’s version is the Fairview). The blue model I tested has a quality look and feel about it, the 420D bottom fabric feels bombproof, while the lighter denier panels elsewhere still inspire confidence for long-term durability.”
The genius lies in the details: oversized zipper tabs that work with cold fingers, multiple grab handles for easy overhead compartment access, and lockable zippers that provide genuine security without fuss and the adjustable back system uses velcro pads rather than complex mechanisms, making on-the-go adjustments refreshingly simple.
What really sets this apart is the detachable daypack system. This isn’t some flimsy add-on – it’s a properly functional 13-litre pack that counts as your ‘personal item’ on most flights, essentially letting you carry 55 litres of gear across two bags.
“Our EasyJet flight attendant literally waved us through baggage checks after recognising the pack”, Will continues. “Apparently, they’re familiar enough with its cabin baggage compliance that it’s become a visual shorthand for “this one’s fine.”
“Don’t mistake this for just a travel pack that happens to have straps though – the Farpoint 55 holds its own outdoors. Testing along sections of the Camino Korcula coastal trail revealed a pack that can hold its own on multi-day hiking adventures.”
