I brought a Farpoint Wheels 65 and a 36. I used the 65 on a recent 3 week trip to Japan. With stop overs on the way there and back. As well as train travel in Japan, I had lots of moving the Farpoint Wheels 65 around in airports, stations, on trains and to hotels etc. It’s nice looking, offers good stowage and the option of either carrying it on your back. Or pulling it using the wheels and handle. My Farpoints replaced 2, 12 year old North Face 66 ltr wheeled cases. These had served us very well. Going on lots of long haul trips. Whilst they were heavier than the Fairpoint 65, they were far stronger and more robust. I noticed during my recent trip that the single handle to aid wheeling on the Farport was loose.

Had I known this before I’d brought the 65, I’d have looked to see what other more robust models/makes were available.

I had been looking for a bag like this for years -- a wheeled suitcase that can also turn into a backpack for those times when you're in a place where wheels don't work well (rough streets, lots of stairs, etc) -- and big enough to hold your gear for a longer trip. This is absolutely perfect! The wheels and retractable handle work great, and the backpack + hip straps are reasonably comfortable and balance the load well. I would definitely not use this for a real backpacking trip so don't get it if that's what you are looking for but for a suitcase that can convert to a backpack it's perfect.

I use this pack for my tree climbing gear; rope, helmet, hadware, etc. Since I often travel with my gear a pack with wheels was essential. Pack is roomy with convenient top pockets. Shoulder pads and the all important hip belt are comfortable and easily adjusted. the 45 - 50 pounds I carry is stable excpet when bending forward and then backward. I can feel a shift but nothing that interferes with my balance. Had I not had a better pack (no longer available) my rating would be five stars.

Having a disability means I will struggle to carry a backpack at times while travelling. So having the option to use wheels is perfect. It also means that if I have a flare up, my partner can wheel my bag while carrying his.I have not used the bag yet, but at first glimpse the bag seems excellent quality and wheels easily. I like how the straps neatly tuck away. I am also pleased with the pockets in the front. Looking forward to testing it out properly when we head off on our next adventure!
Been adventure traveling for decades and an am professional international fieldworker. Purchased this pack for the hybrid rolling/backpack ability, but it was a real compromise when it came to space. Learned long ago (for me, YMMV) to never take a standard suitcase for on the move international trips, and a backpack has its many advantages over a suitcase, but drawbacks for extended international travel when not needing to pack everywhere, while rolling bags can be tough with vertical and rough hauling when off the beaten path but otherwise choice if one can keep it and the weight off body, so wanted to try this pack and see what shook out. Was on the fence about capacity here, but some reviews based on extended international trips gave me hope that it might fit the ... MoreBeen adventure traveling for decades and an am professional international fieldworker. Purchased this pack for the hybrid rolling/backpack ability, but it was a real compromise when it came to space. Learned long ago (for me, YMMV) to never take a standard suitcase for on the move international trips, and a backpack has its many advantages over a suitcase, but drawbacks for extended international travel when not needing to pack everywhere, while rolling bags can be tough with vertical and rough hauling when off the beaten path but otherwise choice if one can keep it and the weight off body, so wanted to try this pack and see what shook out. Was on the fence about capacity here, but some reviews based on extended international trips gave me hope that it might fit the bill.Just got back from a three-week trip through Hawaii, Japan and South Korea by air, land and sea. Lots of stops and moving from place to place frequently and from island to island, town to town and mountain to mountain including busy cities like Tokyo, along Japanese shores, Northern and Southern Alps, Mount Fuji and several places in between.Pros - (1) Excellent wheels on rough roads and paths as well as busy terminals; (2) Organization was a real treat - loved the pockets and pouches (not too many/few) and in all the right places; (3) Bomber construction - Durability was impressive and the bag shows minimal wear for all of its miles with ideal zippers that put up with a lot of stress from being packed out to the absolute max; (4) Ease of Use - In and out of buses, trains, rental cars, boats and planes, the bag was the easiest to hall out of six peoples' (even one with a carry on), so no faults in any of these respects.Cons (1) Space to size ratio is whack. One of six people traveled with large carry-ons and we found that the contents of this bag when absolutely stuffed to the gills would have almost entirely fit in the carry on; though the external dimensions required checking. A good portion of otherwise useable space is dedicated to the frame and backpack conversion hardware stowed in the hollow zippered back. Cutting that backpack feature out would allow for more of the overall dimensions to contribute to internal stowage space. (2) Small personal gripe – the handle is strong/capable, but with a single bar, made for stacking/hauling any extra bags on top a no go when rolling through terminals, docks and train stations and helping others with gear and odd bags. A double bar handle is handy in being able to wrap a couple of handbag or laptop straps around and worth the consideration if one makes a habit of placing a smaller bag on top of a rolling luggage on the go.Did an experimental swap on the trip and found that while a smaller sized female was able to fit the same number/type of items with space to spare, an average-size male's same items took up max space.Example packing list for reference: This was a trip that involved high heat and humidity for all but a few nights, so all clothing was hot weather and relatively small/lightweight/quick dry (ie one pair of pants, four pairs of Patagonia shorts, three ExOfficio shirts, three Aloha shirts, four pairs of Smartwool low-cut running socks, a few pairs of ExOfficio underwear, Chacos, hygiene kit, small first aid kit, Arc’teryx Atom LT Hoody, beanie, ball cap, swim trunks, one bottle of sunscreen, one pack of baby wipes, and a few small incidentals). Added a couple pounds of keepsakes (mostly maps/paperwork) along the way and was maxed out. Wore running shoes on travel days and packed Chacos in the bag to save space. Everything else was hauled in a 29 liter daypack that ended up doing a meritorious job of filling in the gaps.Overall weight: pack alone, according to Osprey, weighs 6.174lbs. For reference, even when packed to the max with little space to spare, the pack weighed in at 27 pounds. Great if one needs to pack it on their back or worried about airline limits, but goes to illustrate the limited capacity.Can get something in similar dimensions (27.56h x 16.14w x 13.39d in. at 6.174lbs.) that can haul at least 20-30 liters more gear. For example, the Osprey Farpoint 80 lacks the backpack straps, but is within fractions of inches at 80 liters and lighter (28.35h x 16.93w x 14.17d in. at 5.468 lbs.). The Osprey Shuttle comes in at 30h x 16w x 14d in. at 8.16lbs., but with 100L.So, bottom line is this is a great pack, but if you don't absolutely need the backpack option, I'd strongly recommend skipping this bag and going with one of Osprey’s (or other brands’) more spacious wheeled options for something that must be relegated to checked baggage.Alternatively, if looking to go similar space-wise, can find many options in other forms that include some larger-sized carry-ons. Along those lines, everyone's luggage was lost by the airline for three days early in the trip and for this amount of gear, a carry on would have solved a lot of problems in that situation.Again, in every other respect than the limited space for overall size that could have been achieved with smaller dimensions (or same size for much more capacity), I thoroughly loved this pack’s build quality, organization, and rolling ability. If a shorter duration trip with relatively light packing and/or a smaller female with smaller folded/rolled clothing items, this bag has some real advantages if absolutely needing the hybrid option, but even then it is a compromise. This is the largest/only option I could find at the time that could be wheeled and backpacked, but I'd hold out and hope that Osprey can come up with something similar (rolling/backpack-able) at least in the 85-100 liter range.
I have a few Osprey products, and they are top-of-the-line products compared to other brands. This one unfortunately falls short for me. On it's very first flight I picked it up to find a hole in the front of the bag about half the size of a penny. A couple flights later the fabric along the back rib against the frame started fraying. Next flight it looks like it got drug slightly and the fabric is starting to tear on the corner.This may seem more related to abuse, but my old roller bag has endured these same flights for years and does not have any of these issues.I also do not like how unstable it seems when cornering or rolling on uneven surfaces. The bag will easily fall over on its side if the terrain has any roughness to it.The positive things I can say ... MoreI have a few Osprey products, and they are top-of-the-line products compared to other brands.

The bag will easily fall over on its side if the terrain has any roughness to it.The positive things I can say about it, would be about the compression straps on the outside. These are great, and I normally end up using them to hold my rolled-up coat or something. The bag has a nice appearance as wellI will have to return to my old roller bag for now it seems, but I am hopeful that Osprey will make a typical suitcase-type roller bag in the future, I believe the design would be a lot better.
I have the Osprey Porter Travel Pack but I have really bad shoulder problems and thought I should switch over to roller bag, but still wanted the capability of on the back as I do a lot of adventure travel too, but that this could also work for work travel as well (the dark purple adds flare without being over the top).-SPACE: The other reviews are accurate, that because of the shoulder strap design it does decrease cargo space however, I still find that the 36L is plenty of space - I was able to pack for 2 weeks (though about 4-5 days worth of clothing), including some camping gear (a sleeping bag) and multiple coats and fit between this and the 20L daylight daypack backpack. I still think its plenty spacious for most flying travel if you're not doing trekking of ... MoreI have the Osprey Porter Travel Pack but I have really bad shoulder problems and thought I should switch over to roller bag, but still wanted the capability of on the back as I do a lot of adventure travel too, but that this could also work for work travel as well (the dark purple adds flare without being over the top).-SPACE: The other reviews are accurate, that because of the shoulder strap design it does decrease cargo space however, I still find that the 36L is plenty of space - I was able to pack for 2 weeks (though about 4-5 days worth of clothing), including some camping gear (a sleeping bag) and multiple coats and fit between this and the 20L daylight daypack backpack. I still think its plenty spacious for most flying travel if you're not doing trekking of course which it's not designed for and if you pack smart. If you are not checking the bag you can totally stuff extra coats in the area where the backpack straps tuck into to expand cargo. Plus I have shoulder problems so this helped me pack light anyways.-BACKPACK DESIGN: The backpack straps and suspension I am really actually impressed with for a pack that's not primarily designed for back wear -- it's way more comfortable than the Osprey Porter shoulder straps because it has the suspension/ventilation part and the padding on the straps is better.-DURABILITY: I've taken it so far on planes and boats and is great - I checked it once on a plane and it held up fine. The satellite wheeler is a little more flimsy than a 2 rod design but I feel confident in Osprey's lifetime warranty if I were to ever have an issue. Also this bag attracts lint and cat hair like CRAZY. It gets dirty very easily but mostly because things stick to it.-WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION AND MOVEMENT: The 2 wheels are also a little bit more difficult to maneuver than a 4-wheel design but again it's a lighter design so it works enough when you get the hang of it (you just can swivel it around and have to directionally pull it so it doesn't do a 1-wheelie and topple over). I haven't had issues with this one with it being top heavy to topple over, but this pack is designed to attach to the Daylite day packs and that does make it topple over so I think that's a flaw there that it's really not good with the Daylite packs and I would probably just carry this on my back and the daypack on the front of my body if I wasn't rolling it)-FEATURES:-The water bottle mesh pockets are useless. I hate that Osprey consistently does this - they're never deep and wide enough once you get a pack loaded. You can't fit anything it in except a piece of paper and maybe your phone.-internal compression straps are great for synching down your items to get it zipped, i just wish the compression extended the length of the internal luggage as it's only in the center of it-outside compression straps work really well too, and you can hang sandals off of them-side handles are great for handling like luggage, I think having a shoulder strap add-on would be a great addition to this pack. I think you can buy it seperately-I love the top deep pocket that Osprey does with a lot of their bags - I always put shoes in there but I think this one was designed with toiletries in mind but it's not deep enough for my LLBean toiletry bag. You can fit a pair of shoes and a pair of flat sandals in there easily with additional room for smaller items to piece in with it.-The front zip pocket can fit a coat, but it gets harder and harder to fit things the more you fill up the bag (of course), due to the unframed design of the top of this bag (bottom is like luggage top is like a duffle)-The inside mesh pocket is good for loose small items like underwear, socks-This bag is missing a key holder like most of the Osprey bags, I wish it had that.Overall this bag functions for the goals I had for it but I think if you don't mind carrying your luggage all the time you should probably go with the full travel pack version one of this or some other brands make some good travel bags)
I was honestly torn if I needed a new piece of luggage, but couldn’t be happier that I bought this bag. My wife and I took a trip to Greece where we were going island hopping. I knew from previous European trips the four wheel bags don’t hold up very well and they were often situations were be easier to have your luggage on your back, so that’s why I was interested in this bag. I can say after going on our trip the bag worked perfectly. For the most part I used it as rolling luggage, but one of the places we stayed was in the old town, where there were a lot of uneven steps, and the backpack came in handy. Osprey’s backpack suspension is so comfortable. I had about 45lbs in the bag and it was still very manageable and comfortable.I also like how narrow and tall ... MoreI was honestly torn if I needed a new piece of luggage, but couldn’t be happier that I bought this bag.

Osprey’s backpack suspension is so comfortable. I had about 45lbs in the bag and it was still very manageable and comfortable.I also like how narrow and tall this bag is as well, that comes in handy for maneuvering through small areas. I did use the airport cover for checking the luggage and it survived being checked.The other really nice feature of this bag is internal compression system that runs down the back of the pack. It fit pants and dresses perfectly and kept them wrinkle free. And then I used packing cubes on top of those layers for other clothing. Overall, I was super happy with this bag and see it as my main checked luggage going forward.
I was so excited to see a light roller bag/knapsack combination in a carry-on size. It is well made, multiple pockets, looks sleek, solid and smooth-moving extendible handle, and light enough to lift easily even when packed. Unfortunately I had to return it without using it because the contour of the back wall of the suitcase caused a significant amount of wasted space, thus making it impractical to carry enough for three weeks (socks, underwear, two pairs of light pants, 3 light blouses, spare shoes, cables/adapters, and a toiletry case: which is what I carried in my Nomatic carry-on size backpack/suitcase for 3 weeks in the UK and Turkey).I hope Osprey will revise the design and offer a rolling carry-on backpack without the loss if space. I will definitely buy it
I wanted to take a few international trips before I reviewed this bag. I can honestly say that, although it has some flaws, I like it a lot. It's incredibly lightweight which is really important for the small European airlines that have ridiculous weight restrictions (8kg). It has a couple well-placed pockets that help keep things organized, including an easily accessed pocket for liquids which is much appreciated going through airport security. It has multiple straps to keep things snugged down. It has comfortable handles and grab straps, although I consistently wish there were another on the bottom of the bag. The beefy zippers work smoothly. The purple color (and coordinating light purple inside) is just gorgeous.A few things I don't like: the single pull bar ... MoreI wanted to take a few international trips before I reviewed this bag.

The beefy zippers work smoothly. The purple color (and coordinating light purple inside) is just gorgeous.A few things I don't like: the single pull bar is unfortunate. You can't slip another bag on top of this one because it will just spin on the single bar. The single bar also causes the bag to twist and torque when you're maneuvering through crowds or going up/down curbs, often causing the bag to topple over. And the bar travels down the inside of the bag, so when you're packing there is no flat bottom in your bag. I remedied this situation by purchasing two of the extra long packing cubes (the tube cube). I'd love to see this bag with the traditional two bars with handle between them, even if it adds a few extra ounces.The backpack straps are very comfortable and so important in Europe where we have luggage-wheel-eating monster cobblestones. It's also handy for places like Thailand--it's no fun dragging a suitcase on a beach; I've seen it a lot. But I do wish the straps could be removed when not needed as the extra space and weight could be used for something else.In general, for this price point, the bag does a pretty good job and I'm happy with it. A few minor improvements (removable backpack straps, upgraded handle) would make the bag almost perfect. And I absolutely love Osprey's lifetime warranty.
