Farpoint 40 Men's Travel Pack

The Fairview and Farpoint backpack is popular with digital nomads, adventure travellers and one-baggers looking for a practical backpack that holds everything and is versatile. Farpoint is the men's version and Fairview is the women's version.

This fully-featured men's pack offers all the key features of more technical packs - such as finely adjustable torso adjustments, load-lifting LightWire frames and breathable harness/hip straps - combined with practical travel functionality. Internal organisation has been optimised for travel, and robust compression straps keep your pack tight and stable, whether you're taking all your gear with you or packing lighter for excursions. The Farpoint 40 meets most carry-on requirements. A quick-access zipped compartment for laptops/tablets up to 16" and an external pocket for toiletries make it easy to pass through security. The backpack is compatible with the Farpoint® | Fairview Daypack (sold separately) for even more destination flexibility.
