Such a lovely review, I'm so jealous of all your little flags you've accumulated, and of the cool bag of course.
Awesome video! I’ve watched quite a few gear videos and as we’re in the market for an all-in-one travel bag, your video has stood out as one of the best. You made a sit-down video without fancy effects and it’s perfect!
You touched on all of the most important concerns about the pack and did so in an efficient and attention-capturing way. Would love to see more videos from you!
Thanks so much!
Amazing video! I'm planning on going on interrail for 25 days in July and I truly believe I'll purchase either this Farpoint 55L or the Fairview 55L. Subscribed!
Overall great review with a lot of great information. I really appreciated the fact that you've obviously put it through the ringer. One recommendation would be cutting the background track.
Good info, excellent pace, bright setting so we can easily see and you’re clearly interested in the product. Great review!
Thank you so much!! and yes its a great product!! I highly recommend it to everyone looking for a backpack!
Thanks Gabi! I had the 40l, but wanted a bit more space. Going w/ the 55 upgrade.
When I first went to Asia in 2011 I had a 2 piece just like this. A much cheaper brand. But, wearing that small one in front with my expensive stuff in it on trains and other transit was clutch. I'm buying this before I head back traveling this December.
I watched this yesterday. And ordered it today. I cant wait to receive it. Thanks so much for the video. Greetings from Mexico!
yay I hope you enjoy it!
@@gabigiddey2349 I watched so many other youtube reviews on this backpack and I have to say yours was the best! I subscribed right away. I am definitely enjoying it. I have 6 more months left in Mexico and then I'm heading to Turkey!
Hola amigo, oye cuánto te costó la mochila? Qué tal te ha ido con ella?:D
Love your energy and your smile product of traveling and enjoying your life. I'll get this backpack thanks to you. 😊
You have such a happy smile haha. Thanks for the awesome review ☺️
Great review, very informative. Thank you for sharing, God bless you 👑
Thank you. I’m looking at getting the farpoint 40 as my next pack
Loved this video! Brilliantly done! ✌️😁
thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Gabi, this is really helpful tips.
I can see my country map flag on your backpack🎒I’m so excited🇰🇭🥳
GREAT info video!!!!! We've acquired (2) of them and used on (4) 2 month extended trips where 2 used public transit and the other 2 car rental. Glad we got them. Just one point ....
wish the day pack would be sized between 20-25 liter instead of the 15 liter.
Thank you so much! They are my favourite backpacks for sure! I agree, the option would be nice to have!
Super informative and helpful review!
Thank you for providing the information I’ve been searching for: the main pack is 40L and the day pack is 15L!
Hey thanks, that's actually a great review!!!! You're showing it as a user! Which make me even more confident about my purchase hahahahaha! I'm waiting to receive it 😂 😂,.. Thank you again for this nice review
I bought this exact same bag because of you!!
Comprehensive review. thanks! 🥰
thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed my video :)
Do you use a protective cover when checking in your bag or just leave as is? Just wondering if there are any issues with the front straps if it would get caught in a conveyor belt etc
Probably a dumb question but how do you get the patches on your pack ?
I just ordered a 60ltr with the daypack thank you for the wonderful reviews 🤗 can you use the 60ltr for a carry on?
Amazing video!!! 🎉
Thanks Amazing Review !!
do you think that the s/m or xs/s 55 would work as a carry on if i kept it really light?
Great review! I was between this one and the 40 but you just convinced me.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it! Its a great backpack
Yes, me too:))
I see Costa Rica! Hope you liked it here :) Thanks for the review. Can't wait to get mine.
Yes I loved Costa Rica! I cant wait to go back! Thank you for watching!
I love the patches. I stopped putting them on my backpack, run out of room.
Thank U I'm thinking that is perfecf for Me! El Camino is waiting for me! Regards from Mexico!
Can you externally carry a yoga mat or a camping tent.. like a new fix it outside the main bag?.. Your videos are so good.. and you explain everything with a warm smile Thanks for this compilation of features
I have the same backpack and it’s awesome :)
You have more patches then mine :p
After I sewn on my patches, I’ll use a tiny drop of super glue at the stitch holes to reenforce the thread and close the tiny holes made by the needle.
Really cool patches! Did you iron or sew them on?
How do you adhere the patches on your bag without damaging? I have the same Osprey
Good review thanks!
Hi, is 15inch laptop fits in the daypack?
is there any external pockets on the 40l main pack? I was thinking of using this as a carry on only with airlines that only allow one carry on bag (and no personal bag). Can't see if there are any external pockets like the Fairpoint 40 has?
good video 👌☺️ did you iron on the patches?
Im still thinking wether to get the 40 or 55
So glad that I found your video and channel. Thank you for the review. I am planning on travelling next year and trying to figure out what to get, would you consider doing a packing video?
Hi Bodene! Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you enjoy my channel! I am in the works on making one now!
@@gabigiddey2349 looking forward to it :)
Hello, works as carry-on? Thank you.
can the larger bag pass for a carry on
So this 55L actually can be a hand baggage and personal bag (for the small backpack), right?
Where did you get all the patches
Hi! Do you have de size S/M or M/L? Because it is a men’s backpack right? What’s te big difference between the men’s and woman’s ? Do you feel any difference?
Hi gabi!!! I bought the same recently and Im going to use it in a couple of months. I need to take it with me in the plain, as carry on, did you had any problem with that using it all these years?? thanks and best regards from Argentina
what a nice review. i have been looking for a backpack like this one, but i do have a concern that im 165cm will it be dramaticlly huge on a pettite girl?
Where did you get the patches from❓💁🏽♀️Love your videos‼️
Hi, why did you choose the farpoint over the fairview ?
Planning on a trip to Belgium asked my local outdoor store what a good travel bag is and they immediately pointed to this one
👍🏾👍🏾 buying that for CR!! Thanks
awesome!! enjoy the backpack!
The bag is rated for carry on. It was considered oversized by Ryanair?
thanks great explanation
Strange, when I viewed the review video on their site about this particular backpack they present the bag itself as being 55L with the option of purchasing an added daypack that attaches to it. But you are describing yours as being 40L main plus 15L daypack. So now I'm confused. I wonder if they changed the design since you purchased yours.
I love the patches on your backpack. Those are heat set? You had no adhesion problems in the material of the backpack?
I sewed them on to my bag! I find they didn’t stay that well when I tried to iron them on!
is it wheeled??
I am from Nepal and i want to buy it but i didn't find it on any online sites.can please anyone help me🙏
Thankyou for the comprehensive review.. which packing cubes do you have?
here is the amazon link! www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07ZQ9N7S9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
After Watching and then I buy today thank you
do we really need to wash our backpacks? Mine is already quite dirty.
Excellent review. I didn’t realise that the small backpack could be attached on the front.
thank you so much! and its probably one of the best features of the backpack! it makes it so easy to get around without feeling weighed down!
Hello I like to know what is the size S M or M L to fit on the carry on airplane ? thanks
Hi! I would go with the smaller size, I can get away with mine on some flights but others I have to check my bag
This looks like a Farpoint Trek 55, not a Farpoint 55 Travel pack. They are different packs. The backpack you show here looks taller than the Farpoint 55 Travel pack. Is this correct?
I’m planning on going on my first backpacking trip solo next near once I can get the covid vaccine. I don’t plan on bringing many clothes, around 3 pairs of tops and bottoms along with some outerwear. Do you think this bag would be capable of carrying an ultralight tent with a sleeping quilt for backpacking/hiking as well or would I need to use a slightly bigger pack like the Archeon 45 or bigger?
Hi! I have a Marmot Tungsten 2 man tent which fits well in my backpack! I think it would work well for you!
Hi! I have this backpack (the fairview version for females) and took it on a camping trip with me and it was perfect! Didn't go ultralight but could still fit all my stuff! Would put the tent underneath the pack. Sleeping quilt, cooking stuff and around 2 additional packing cubes with clothes and such could fit in the main compartment. Im usually kind of an overpacker so this size was perfect for me cause it forced me to really be conscious about the stuff I would be bringing and it wouldnt be to heavy on my back. You could also get this pack in a 70L but for me, a 5'6 female, the 55 was perfect. Have fun on your trip!
Good video and I'm glad you enjoyed Australia! The music is a bit loud for your video though.
Same. The singing and talking all at once was disconcerting.
Love the patches.. sewn or glued?
sewn on!
Hey! How did you put all those patches to the backpack? Can it damage the backpack? Do you buy them from a specific website? Thanks :-)
Hey Steven! I sewed them all on to my backpack and I haven't had any issues with the integrity of it at all and it has remained as waterproof as it was prior to sewing them on! And I try and pick them up in the country that I am travelling too but I have purchased a couple off of amazon or ebay! I find the fun patches are often in gift stores when travelling places!
Thank you, Gabi. Very informative. I was thinking of getting the 70L for my daughter, as she'll be in Spain for 9 months. Do you think that is too big? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Cheers!
55L is a perfect size. 70L is too bulky and don't utilized it enough.
Any update
Are both carry on
Did the small back pack come with the
40 L back pack?
And how much does it cost?
It dose although you mainly pay for the big backpack, you can buy the small one separate. The small backpack is made to strap on to the back of the big one. They go for about 100-200$ depending on where you get it.
Would you recommend the 55L over the 70L for travelling?
This is a subjective opinion and depends on how you travel. I personally would say 55 only because it isn't too much and isn't too little. You don't need to pack a 55 all the way. A 70L would be less ideal for carry on for planes. Also the more stuff you are carrying the heavier it will be and more taxing on your body. Hope this helps.
Can we use this as a carry on bag on planes?
I have before but I have to pack it light! technically it is out of most carryon dimensions
Hey Gabi, what's the color of the packs? Thanks!
I believe it comes in red, blue, black and green!
I have this already. I am 5'3 in height. After a year of using, i realized it is very unrealistic to carry. It is just too heavy for me if u full it with things. Even if you put only clothes, it just too heavy if you carry it at your back
Check your hip belt. If you are carrying it too high, it hurts because the weight isn't distributed well to your hips. (I'm 5'1" and this is my 3rd backpack, so I've had the same problem before.)
@@beckydmc Thank you so much for the info... i will do it.
Its weird, the 40l and 55l are the same size. we are talking about 1 cm difference.
and Asia flights have this as their stadnard:
56 cm X 36 cm X 23 cm
What the 55l backpack fits into.
The main difference is the 55L comes with the daypack (40L+15L)
How did you attach the country flags on the bag ?
Have you been able to use this as a carry-on, or do you always check it?
Daniel Isaacs Hi Daniel! I have used it as a carry-on with Ryanair before!
Gabi Giddey Thanks! I am impressed, because I thought they were really strict about sizing.
@@danieli.9252 I think they are, I just was able to make it look smaller and put heavier stuff into my smaller backpack! I think its just about how you present it to them!
Hi Gabi your flag patch is awesome , you use glue or sewing it ? thank you...............
Sewn on
@@jackfrost2014 👍👍👍👍
Hei. Is that Slovak flag on your bagpack? Greetings from Slovakia;)
It's $150 at Amazon, just ordered mine...
How do you get your patches to stay on?
Sew on
Sew on
Where those just iron on patches you put on your backpack?!
Hi! Yes they are iron on ones but I found they didn’t stay on my backpack too well so I ended up sewing them all on!
Do you think it’s big enough to live out of for years !
I think so! I have lived out of it for 4.5 months and a second trip for 2.5 months and both times it worked really well
@@gabigiddey2349 I’m undecided Between the 55L and 70L
Hey the 70 which is 57L for the big one and 13L for the small one - total 70L
i bought it 1 month ago for 100 euros!!
Hello, what is your height tho ?
Hello! I am 5’6, 170cm!
Thank you, Im planning to buy this bag Im only 163cm. Is it okay for me ?
I would probably go with the S/M size based on your height!
Thank you.
From the Philippines. ❤️
Great video! Not a fan of the music with vocal lyrics used as it makes it difficult to concentrate just on your voice.
You are so cool!
I thought the farpoint was the men's fit and Fairview was womens
they took your negative points and they imprioved on the new ones. 2014.
