The ultimate adventure guide
The Farpoint 40 is a great backpack for casual day hiking.
The smaller pocket has a slot for laptops, books, etc.
There is a convenient smaller pocket on the outside for small items.
The large inner pocket is large enough to fit a lot of stuff - but it's hard to organize it.
There are compression straps to help you compress your luggage.
There are compression straps on the outside of the pack that help with keeping the pack size smaller.
There is a side handle on the pack for transporting when the straps are folded away.
Great for day hikes.
The Farpoint 40 is pretty comfortable considering its thin shoulder and hip straps.
The chest and hip belts are pretty easy to adjust.
The straps can be folded away and sealed off with a zippered flap, converting the pack into a messenger-style bag or luggage for a flight.
