Customers are mixed about the size of the backpack. Some mention that it's well-fitting and fits fine in overhead bins. They say it holds different sized packing cubes snugly.

Cannot Wait to Put this to The Test!!
The minute I saw this backpack I knew I had to get it! A 16 night holiday to Peru with a friend... on a Hop on Hop Off bus with different hotels almost nightly... there was no way I was lugging my suitcases, even though I usually travel with carry on size. Just made more sense to backpack and so the search was on for THE perfect backpack. Seeing as I drag along too many electronics (Ipad, Iphone, camera, chargers) my main goal was to find a pack with a detachable day bag (I often check out Rick Steve's blogs and love the idea of a day bag) and so when I came across the Osprey Farpoint 55, well, I knew my quest was over! I already know how to pack a carry on size bag for extended trips (3 weeks in South Africa using a carry on) so the size was a no brainer... S/M so I can use it for carry on. Interestingly enough I am almost sure that it will fit UNDER the seat in front of me... I did a test run with what I plan to pack in the main part and it is no bigger than the rolling carryon duffel that I have often stashed under the seat. Makes for a great foot rest! However, seeing as only clothes will be in there, I do plan to pop it in the overhead and do not anticipate any problems.Lots of talk about no internal pockets inside the main pack. Seeing as I plan to use packing cubes this is not a concern for me. There is one mesh pocket on the inside top cover that will be handy to keep some stuff separated from the rest. The inside of the main bag is roomier than what you figure at first glance. Once you start putting items inside you realize that if you have stuffed this backpack full to the brim, you are taking WAY too much stuff!!The day pack is larger than I expected and will work nicely as a day/overnight pack on some of the overnight excursions in Peru while we leave the main pack back at the Hostel. A quick change of clothes, electronics, water bottle, and room for a souvenir... the harness is comfortable and the pack looks great on.All in all, of all the backpacks I researched, this was the one that fit the bill!UPDATE:Back from Peru and I LOVE this backpack! I did use the packing cubes, which kept everything in order which was really handy as we moved daily to a new hostel so it was a no brainer to take the cubes out for underthings, pants, tops, whatever... without having to make a huge mess since all clothes were rolled, everything was visible. Surprisingly I only used the larger pack as a suitcase, never putting it on my back. Instead I put the day pack on my back and carried the larger pack. My travel partner however used hers as a backpack and was very pleased with it.If I had to find fault with this system I would have to say that more outside pockets would have been great to keep things organized and within easy reach, however I did get a purse organizer which fit nicely into the bottom of my day pack and that really helped.Overall very pleased and cannot wait to go on my next adventure!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mochila de buenos materiales (falta probarla)
Reviewed in Mexico on March 3, 2022
La mochila es muy bonita y se nota que la calidad de la mochila es muy buena. Mido 1.80 m y de complexión delgada… compré la talla M/L y la sentí un poco grande de tamaño, creo que la talla S/M se hubiera ajustado mejor a mi complexión y tamaño. Tengo planeado hacer un viaje a América del Sur por lo que aún no la he probado, pero se siente muy bien la mochila. Cuenta con una mochila pequeña que se puede desprender de la mochila grande, además de que tiene compartimento para una laptop. El compartimiento principal no tiene divisiones por lo que tienes que comprar “packing cubes” para organizar tus pertenencias.
