Very very great review about the osprey 40 !
I agree with everything. I have the Fairview and my husband has the osprey but to be honest, the driveway hurts the shoulders because the suspenders are very thin !
So I don’t use it as much as I would like to and usually take the farpoint.

In reply to Karo. I'm not crafty enough to add such features myself but they sound like great ideas! I would maybe try to add side pouches on both sides of the main interior space for small items, then use packing cubes or other accessories to subdivide the space.

Great post for a great backpack! And spot on about the organizational cons. Do you have any remedies or recommendations?

My suggestions include a few options:

– External Modifications: tailor stitching some flat pouches on the shoulder straps, waist belt and also possibly lower part of the back panels, and re-purposing the shove-it pocket to hold a hydration bladder.

– Internal Modifications: using origami dividers to compartmentalize the main compartment (or e.g. like the pakt 2.0), tailor stitching a side pouch to act as an hidden wallet, and maybe also splitting the lid mesh into separate parts.

Would be interested to hear your thoughts?

Yeah I talk about this in the video review here: https://youtu.be/PXkJxiWz8YM?t=1418
There’s not an official way but you can still kinda do it.

Is there a way to attach the Osprey Daylite to the Farpoint 40 that you’ve discovered?

Have you used the Kelty Redwing 44? I believe it’s also within the same category as the Osprey Farpoint 40. Would love to hear your thoughts on that.
