Woa, nice price. I picked up the 40L when it was $92 on BF, but now I'm wondering whether this is a better pickup for the 10-12ish more L in the main bag without the daypack.
Does anyone have the daypack? is it worth $45ish extra?
i have a HikeLite 18 I was going to try to attach the 40L, but I imagine the frame on it would cause complications.
Anyone knows if Osprey makes a cover for this bag? A cover for rain or for checking in the bag?
You can protect the straps should you need to check in the bag. It ends up looking like a small suitcase. They make covers which will fit the bag should you be worried about rain.

I own two of these (55L). One from ~2015 and bought another for my wife while in Denmark in 2025 to replace a rolling bag that was being a massive hassle (mid trip). We have two small kids and being able to put a good amount of stuff on your back is a lifesaver. The ability to separate the bags is a huge bonus once you're where you're headed, solid daypack. For what it's worth, I prefer my older bag (circa 2015) because the daypack zippers to the main bag, the newer version only attaches via straps, but still has same the functionality. Also, while the main bag is kind of long (again 55L), I've always brought it as a carry on with the daypack as my underseat bag on planes (never been questioned by crew). Worth it at this price, IMO.

I personally find 70L too big and not that practical. The 40L Farpoint is about the sweet spot I'd be willing to carry on my back for extended period of time. 55L is the max. These get heavy quick when fully loaded. I tried an older version of the 55L a few years ago and thought it was already too big. I'd work on packing lighter as opposed to going up to something like a 70L for travel.

25.6 height....so I would not count on it making it as a carry on when airlines are stricter in enforcing rules, especially on international flights. As they say "your mileage may vary..."

I bought the Farpoint 70 in 2017 for $118 (so an older version of this pack) and I've used it as a carry-on (with the daypack separated as my "personal item") on many flights, domestic and international.
Only a couple of times have I been required to gate-check the bag. One that I can recall was a regional airline on a plane with particularly small overhead compartments. Yes, YMMV, but I have almost always gotten away with it as a carry-on.

Keep in mind that this is really a 55l pack with a 15l pack included, not a 70l pack.
I have the 40l and it goes everywhere with me - considering this for the extra space. You can compress it down if you don't need the full 55l volume and only the most anal flight attendants would hassle you over the height.
Also on sale at Osprey directly (as are the 80L and 55L), different color availability on the 70L. Makes it obvious which version of the pack you'll get as it's a clearance.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but most people aren't going to need (or want) a 70L bag if they're going on a few week trip. Stick to 30-40l for sanity reasons.

I get this is two bags, but its still a lot.
It is really a 55 litre bag with a 15 litre daypack add on. You don't have to fill it fully, but should you need the extra space you can send it to the hold if needed. I do agree that normally a good 30l-40l is more than enough for most.

It's not really even clear whether this version in OP is the newest 2025 or 2024.
There were a bunch of changes made between those iterations, so I imagine yours has some major distinctions too.
I got the Farpoint 40L during BF and that version was the 2024 and not the newest version (which had some downgrades IMO).
