The Osprey Farpoint 40 as a hiking backpack Travel-focused features add too much weight for most ultralight backpackers that are interested in using thee Farpoint 40 as a hiking backpack, but, for travelers squeezing in a hike, the Farpoint 40 should be fine The pack is missing features that make could make the backpack easy to access while wearing (hip belt pockets, external pockets on the side) Improved quick access (to internal storage) and improved external storage, such as improved water bottle pockets, pockets for snacks, and external pockets for wet and dirty gear would be great The Farpoint 40 is an excellent travel pack that will survive most outdoors experiences and will suffice for a quick trek of a couple of days, like the Inle Lake Trek in Myanmar, Torres del Paine in Patagonia, or even the Everest Base Camp Trek (if packed lightly)
