Osprey Farpoint Wheels 65

Product Information

The shoulder straps are fully padded and lined with a breathable mesh for increased comfort. You also get an adjustable sternum strap with built in safety whistle. Moving down, lightweight, flexible hipbelt effectively transfers the weight of the bag through your hips for maximum comfort and support. I still wanted one with wheels for all those times when I could pull it along, but it needed to be lightweight, with sturdy straps and good hip support, and smaller than 80L so I could actually carry the damn thing. Versatile. With both wheels and a harness, you can carry it comfortably when you have to, and pull it along smoothly when you don’t.

In an effort to travel lighter, The Hubs and I treated ourselves to one of these beauties each about two years ago. We have used them extensively for every trip since. Mens or WomensOsprey make bags for men and women, but the shoulder and hip dimensions are different. The female fit version is called Fairview Wheels 65. When to use the Osprey Farpoint 65 as wheeled luggage We then wanted to get a bit more specific and only look at Osprey products that are listed in the Bags category. In general 35-40L is enough for a short trip under a week (or those who are capable of travelling very light!) In general, if you are travelling for longer than a week, you’ll need between 50-65 l. Detachable day bag

With 605 products available we worked out that 33 cost more than Osprey Farpoint Wheels 65 Bag and 568 were cheaper. Cost of Osprey products Very comfortable shoulder pads with good padding and the hip belt is well-positioned for both men and women The pull handle is a single pole with a T-shaped handle at the end. It doesn’t feel as solid and sturdy as the one on my wheeled suitcase but it’s comfortable to pull, and this minimalist design obviously helps to make the bag lighter. Just to top it off, you also get two padded grab handles, loads of lash-points for added bits and bobs and some tough rubber feet to allow the bag to stand up by itself when not being pulled along.

Farpoint Wheels 65 Verdict

Since I’m only 5’8, much taller people may find they have the same issue with the Osprey Farpoint 65, so if you can it’s worth going into a shop and trying it out with a load inside before you commit.
