Why I Pack Them
This is it. The bag that’s followed me through border crossings, tuk-tuks, airport delays and beach hostels. The Osprey Farpoint 40 is the one-bag solution for serious backpackers and digital nomads. It opens like a suitcase, wears like a backpack, and fits as carry-on with most airlines.
With padded laptop space, compression straps, and that legendary Osprey comfort, it’s designed for people on the move, not just for carrying stuff. I swear by this pack. It’s rugged, stylish, and ridiculously functional. Whether you're off to Colombia or Cambodia, this is the bag to trust for those looking to travel light.
