This pack is legendary. Lasted me 6 years now and still kicking. Strap system in front is ultra secure even if zippers break (unlikely.) Wide hip belt really takes weight off shoulders too.
I don't have this one but I do have a much smaller one I use for mtn biking that I had for I don't know 10-15 years before one of the zippers destroyed itself. Sent it in through their amazing forever no questions ask warranty and they sent me a brand new one. Great company.
The Farpoint 40L is a rugged travel backpack built for carry on trips and long days on foot, with standout comfort from the wide hip belt and strong shoulder support. It has proven durable over years of use, and the secure front strap system and Osprey warranty add confidence. Packing cubes help because organization is sparse, with only a top pocket and a front pouch. The rigid frame and full load can make it bulky under airline seats, so it works best when your airline and packing style can handle the size.
Travelers who want a carry-on backpack for long walking days, because the hip belt and ergonomics stay comfortable while carrying weight across cities and airports.
It can fit under some airline seats when not fully packed, but the rigid frame and 22 x 14 x 9 size mean it often exceeds personal-item limits and may stick out. It is safer as a carry-on, especially on strict budget airlines.
It works well for long travel days and multi-week trips, with strong hip-belt support and good ergonomics for carrying weight around cities. The tradeoff is that a fully loaded 40L can feel heavy, so it is better suited to carry-on travel than all-day heavy backpacking.
Organization is minimal: it has one top pocket, one unsecured front pouch, and limited internal pockets. Packing cubes help a lot, and the bag is better for open, simple packing than for lots of small items.
The bag has a 2025 revision with minor changes such as pocket shape and some material updates, but it is still fundamentally the same design. Some units being sold are reportedly 2024 stock rather than the updated 2025 version.
The differences are minor, mainly torso length and strap curve. The men's Farpoint and women's Fairview are otherwise very similar, so the better choice is usually the one that fits the wearer more comfortably.

Too big for personal. I've used it as my carry on.
I fly domestic and international all the time using this as my personal item. You should have no issues as long as you can put it under your seat (if you max out it's capacity, it may not fit under a seat, so be strategic).
I hate checking a bag, so I've mastered the art of traveling with only carry-on and a personal item. I typically use the Osprey and a roll-on, but I just came back from a 7 day business trip to Cairo using this and a convertible garment bag (https://a.co/d/3glIXOz).

Thank you. I bought one and will give it a go

I have been eyeing this bag for a while, can't pass on this price. I assume it's the new current version?
It is not. There is a 2025 revision. You can see them on the osprey site. Seems like minor changes like pocket shape and some material changes. Still fundamentally the same bag
I have this for travel. it is carryon size around the world. Your limiter with it overseas is weight.
I pair it with a smaller day pack that I attach to the back, or front for turtle mode. I took this pack 2wk to Japan and 3wk for Europe/Africa and it did splendidly.
The hip belt and ergonomics are outstanding for long days hiking the streets.
I would highly recommend it even at full price.
nite that it doesn't have a lot of internal pockets so packing cubes can be very helpful for organization.

Travelers needing a true personal-item bag, because the 40L size can exceed under-seat limits and may not fit in airline sizers when fully packed.
