Farpoint 55 vs Farpoint 40
Several posters have pointed out that the Farpoint 55 is just the Farpoint 40 with an Osprey Daylite daypack bundled with it. However, this isn't entirely true. The Farpoint 55 removes the laptop sleeve, top pouch, and front pocket, assuming you will be using the daypack for these features. However, it does have an additional internal organizational pocket.
Farpoint=mens
Fairview=womens
They are both on sale

The material is very durable, and the carry straps are pretty decent considering they are stowable.
If you're not familiar with these types of bags, the 3.5lbs weight might be surprising, but durability comes at a price.
Some things to note:
- It's a frequent contender for best carry-on, travel backpack for one-bag travel
- It's not carry-on compliant everywhere; if you overpack it, you run the chance of having to check your bag
- It will not fit in the personal item "will it fit?" box, nor will it fit under your seat without sticking out, even when packed modestly
- Make sure to buy this newer version with the the laptop sleeve by your back - the one from the 2020s and earlier had the laptop compartment up in the front, which was not great for weight and compression reasons
If you want something that, when packed modestly, could still pass as a personal item for stowing under the seat, and has a laptop sleeve, look in the 25-30L range. My personal choice is the Osprey Porter 30.
I ran upon this handy one-bag comparison sheet [google.com] via Reddit a while back, and it might be worth your time to look at it if you are still considering your options.
These are my recommendations for backpacks.
Checked: 65-85L pack for the checked bag if backpacking. If you want is smaller, most allow removing the top, and they have lashing straps to secure the load. I always put my backpack in a laundry bag when traveling to keep it from getting the straps damaged in the conveyor belts. For car travel, perhaps you'd prefer a roller luggage.
Carry-on bag: Cheap and good. The frame is vastly inferior to the Osprey posted if you are backpacking and carrying it every where, but it's still comfortable to carry, and packed full it fits as a carry-on without the threat of being charged hundreds more dollars due to trying to circumvent restrictions with the bigger bag. Nice little luggage for a small sports car too. International travel often has bags 1" shorter than domestic, so pick accordingly.

Personal item: This lets you take budget flights, like Allegiant, with no checked or carryon. It also packs away in a carryon or checked bag to work as a day bag at your destination. I own three since they make good dedicated bags (one for dog stuff etc.) and i buy them on sale for $20 when they come around.:

Now for a daytrip with kids and a dog that dont carry their own stuff, this 40L is wonderful. It will fit water, camera equipment, food, drinks, and can stow some jackets.

That gives you more flexibility + more storage capability, while still avoiding checking in a bag. And if I'm traveling in the US, I would want a smaller backpack on me to take places rather this monstrosity, LOL.
This Osprey bag seems like something you would ONLY use if you're traveling abroad and need to be more mobile, no?

I've got an Osprey Aether 70L and an Osprey Hikelite 18, so I'm a fan of Osprey, but I wouldn't recommend this 40L for travel. As pointed out above, it just doesn't fit well in any category.

I found the far point to be pretty darn comfortable for 10 miles of daily walking.
The strategy I used was to fully pack the far point and then also have a smaller 30 l backpack that could fit underneath an airplane seat strapped to the back of the far point or strapped to the front of the far point.
The far point has some really nice snap clips in the shoulders so you can hang another backpack from it but it's intended for their own smaller backpacks (day packs). (this is in fact how the 55L version is designed that includes a day pack, that's where I got the idea) I had a hell of a time finding clips that would fit and sewing my own chest front hanging straps so that it could hang off the far point if that makes any sense. This allowed the second backpack to leverage the frame structure of the far point.
I looked like an idiot teenage mutant Ninja turtle but no one in Japan seemed to care lol.
also someone mentioned that these are not carry-on compatible but they absolutely are (22x14x9). for some international flights however they are an inch too tall and it's important to note that the frame will limit your ability to smush it down. obviously if you overpack it it will bulge out of the above dimensions.
Even if I'm only flying somewhere for 24 hours I use this bag. But also I've taken nothing but this bag for 3 weeks in Europe. It's way easier having a backpack with great support straps than lugging around a roller bag.
