Osprey Farpoint / Fairview 70 travel backpack review

Tempted to try the life of a creative digital nomad this year? You’ll need the right luggage.

So you’re going travelling for a bit. Maybe you’re one of an increasing number of young professionals swapping the office for a digital nomad lifestyle. Perhaps you’re visiting some of the world’s creative hotspots or most inspiring design cities on vacation. Whatever your motivation, if you’re hitting the road soon, you’ll need the right bag to carry everything you need.

This is exactly the situation we found ourselves in recently, when part of the Creative Bloq team travelled to Mexico to work remotely for two months. We wanted to explore the world’s sixth design capital, and find out if the rest of the country was as creatively rich as we’d heard. But we needed a bag... 

Wheeled suitcases were no good – outside office hours we’d be exploring mountains, desserts, beaches and jungle; places where wheels don’t always go. Top-loading backpacks were out too: we wanted to be able to access our things quickly and easily at all times, even if they’d been haphazardly packed. But above all else, we needed our work equipment to be safe from wandering hands. (After all, no work: no play. And we were ready to play.)

After many hours of research into travel bags and backpacks, we settled on Osprey’s Farpoint / Fairview series . Designed to be “carried like a backpack but packed like a suitcase” – and billed as the Colorado-based company’s lightest travel backpack yet – on paper it was perfect. But was it any good in real life?

Osprey Farpoint / Fairview: sizing

First, the name. The Farpoint / Fairview series of travel backpacks have the same features; the only difference is the Fairview has a female-specific fit. The series covers a range of capacities: 40L, 55L, 70L and 80L. The 55L and 70L options include a “zip and clip” day pack that attaches to the main bag; while the 40L and 80L versions come as one big backpack. 

For this trip, we needed enough room for our work tech – laptop, mouse, DSLR, chargers and so on – plus clothes for a variety of climates. So we opted for the 70L version. 

Both the Farpoint and Fairview are available in two colourways – grey or red; and grey or green respectively – with the Farpoint offering two sizes to choose from: S/M and M/L. The Fairview comes only in WS/M, but the straps and frame offer a lot of adjustment options, and it fit us perfectly.

Osprey Farpoint / Fairview 70: design and features

We’ll say it straight away: we loved the design of the Farpoint/Fairview travel backpacks. The main compartment opens like a suitcase thanks to a large, zippered and padlockable opening that runs three-quarters of the way around the main compartment. Inside, there are two compression straps to secure your belongings, and a large mesh pocket attached to the zipper flap. 

Outside, two cushioned handles on the top and side let you carry the bag like a suitcase or easily pull it off a carousel. On the back, meanwhile, an ergonomically shaped hip belt transfers the weight from your shoulders to your hips, and a die-cut spacer mesh harness (with an adjustable chest strap and load-lifter straps) makes it super-easy to customise your bag for your body shape. 

The best bit? The hip belt and harness pack can be quickly zipped away behind a small panel when you’re checking your bag in for a flight.

Finally, it comes with a 13L daypack that can be either zipped onto the back of the main bag, or clipped kangaroo-style onto the harness straps on your front – useful if it’s carrying your laptop or passport, say, and you need them to hand. (Yes, we tried this. And yes we felt ridiculously touristy – but didn’t it just spread the weight nicely!)

The daypack comes with a smaller front-facing stash pocket for your sunglasses or phone, two meshed side pockets, and a laptop sleeve and meshed tablet sleeve inside the body. 

Osprey Farpoint / Fairview 70: what we liked

The Osprey Farpoint / Fairview 70 is ridiculously comfortable. We overpacked (yeah, yeah, it’s been a while since we went travelling) but could still carry our stuff for miles and miles in comfort, with the hip belt taking the weight. (Er, this feature became even more valuable after we smashed our camera phone and lost Google Maps.) 

Even better, the arched spacer-mesh harness meant our backs didn’t turn into pools of sweat. In terms of portability and comfort, the Osprey Farpoint / Fairview 70 gets full marks from the Creative Bloq team.

It was also ridiculously easy to access what we needed from inside the main compartment, at all times – we can’t overstate this aspect. And we liked the lockable zippers, which can be tucked out of sight underneath the zip casing to deter opportunist thieves. 

Speaking of safety measures, we also appreciated how secure the detachable daypack is when it’s zipped onto the main pack. There’s a hidden strap that doubly locks it into place for extra peace of mind. 

The external handles, too, proved remarkably useful for grabbing the bag from a carousel or bus and ferry-dump situations. 

Osprey Farpoint / Fairview 70: what we didn’t like

We wish the detachable daypack had a hip belt as well. It’s only 13L, but on hikes or long airport transfers we often found ourselves wishing we could take the strain off our shoulders. (Although positive point: yes, it’s the right size for airline carry on.)

Speaking of 13L, we also found it tough to fit in everything we wanted for our day trips. It’s doable, certainly – we used it for two months – but a squeeze. We’d like the daypack to be just a little bigger. 

Failing this, more generous side pockets would help: on a good day you can just about force in a 750ml water bottle – but you can’t do it one-handed (while you’re walking, for example; you have to take the bag off your shoulders) and if your bag is full, forget it. The side pockets are next to useless.  

And if we were being really picky, we’d like a few more pockets or compartments on the inside. That’s what Osprey's packing cubes are for, of course. 

Osprey Farpoint / Fairview 70: should you buy it?

Overall, we loved the Osprey Fairview 70. The capacity was more than enough for two months’ travelling around a country where temperatures varied from 0-35 degrees (and if you can pack for two months, you can travel forever). Yet, it was also compact enough to be super portable. We had no problem fitting it into hostel lockers, overhead compartments and crammed colectivos. 

Most importantly, the carry system customisation made it fit like a (non sweaty) glove. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Osprey Fairview 70 to anyone considering either long-term travel or a short-term break to non-wheel-friendly terrain. And if you’re better packers than us, or not heading to multiple climates, we think the 55L version would be a great choice too.

Osprey Fairview 70 Backpack Review

Here’s our review of the Osprey Fairview 70 backpack. This article features the brand’s female-tailored pack, so check out our Farpoint 70 review if you’re looking for the male equivalent.

Overall 88%

• Tailored for women’s fit
• Detatchable 13L daypack
• Competitively priced all-in-one solution
• Multiple great colourways
• Pack cumbersome when combined
• Daypack reattachment can be tricky
• Volume: 70 litre capacity + 13 litre capacity
• Weight: 2.0kg
• Dimensions:(H) 65cm, (W) 38cm, (D) 32cm
• Suitable for: Travel, Backpacking

The Osprey Fairview 70, sister backpack to the men’s Farpoint 70, is one of the most popular backpacking solutions for travellers.

With a 70L main pack and detachable 13L daypack, this bag is a great all-in-one option if you’re looking to travel South East Asia, Europe, South America, and beyond.

Its lightweight (2.0kg) and technical design is enough to get any backpack geek excited – so let’s take a deep dive to see what the pack is really made of. Here’s our review of the Osprey Fairview 70.

Outside the backpack

The Fairview is a sturdy combination of two packs. We’ll start by reviewing the outside of the main pack, which has two carry options.

The first is to use the Fairview’s harness to carry the bag on your back, hassle-free. A pair of sturdy shoulder straps, typical sternum strap, and chunky waist strap help to make the bag comfortable to wear for long distances.

Alternatively, tuck the harness into the pack’s zipped pouch and unfold the Fairview’s travel cover, which is perfect for checking your bag on a flight. In the meantime, you can use the bag’s grab handles for throwing your belongings into overhead lockers or carrying your luggage between buses and taxis.

A single, sturdy grab handle at the top makes lifting lightwork whilst another located on the side allows the pack to be carried similar to a big ol’ 70-liter briefcase.

Moving on, the 13-litre Farpoint Day meets most expectations of what a typical daypack should be. Externally, you will find a single zip compartment and additional top stash, as well as a pair of netted compartments designed to hold a water bottle or two.

A pair of quality shoulder straps and a sternum strap keep the pack where it should be and a small but mighty grab handle is perfect for throwing the bag into those narrow overhead bins.

We only have a couple of gripes about the Fairview’s daypack. To start, you might find the daypack to be very small if you’re looking to use it as your only travel carry-on. It will easily pack a book and a few snacks, but add a laptop and camera kit into the mix and you might be struggling. We’d also love to see full water bottle pockets on this pack, as the current netting can only hold around 500ml bottles.

Fairview carry system

Most Osprey Fairview users choose this pack for its ‘piggy-back’ ability – meaning you can join the daypack onto the main pack for easy travel days.

You can attach the Fairview’s bags together in two ways, which means you can choose the combination that suits your travel style the most.

The most popular transit method is to use the perimeter zip and additional compression straps to ‘piggyback’ the smaller pack onto the larger one. Alternatively, you can clip the daypack to the harness of the main pack, forming a ‘kangaroo’ configuration that keeps any valuables close to your chest.

The two options make carrying your travel essentials a breeze, wherever you may be.

Inside the backpack

This huge 70-litre main pack and additional 13-litre daypack make it easier than ever to pack all your essentials. The 70L pack is perfect for backpacking beginners or those who prefer to travel with home comforts, while the Fairview 55 might be more your style if you like to travel light.

The main pack has a U-shaped zip opening and a pair of compression straps to make sure your belongings are snug. The body is basically one large pocket, making it easy to add your favourite packing cubes, but you will also find a secondary zipped mesh pocket to the left.

Opposite this, another zip-secured mesh pocket lines the front of the bag. This is great for storing laundry, dirty shoes, or just about anything else you can think of. There’s even a small section, found inside the harness cover, to store ID information, although luggage tags and/or identifiable marks are always encouraged.

The daypack is built for essentials and with just 13-litres to play with, you will need to pack lightly when heading out for the day. There’s a 15″ padded laptop sleeve that takes priority in the main compartment, complete with a zip pocket, which is perfect for keeping documents, hard drives, or cables. The zip-secured top stash is perfect for keys, sunglasses, and headphones. 

Material and durability

The Osprey Fairview uses bluesign® approved 450D recycled twist dobby polyester. For those of us that aren’t technical wizards, that means that it’s made of really tough stuff. It’s also a major improvement on the 210d Nylon used in the previous variation of this pack – we’re loving the brand’s recent moves towards sustainability.

Osprey also offers three backpacking-friendly colours to choose from – Black, Night Jungle Blue, and Winter Night Blue. We believe the latter to be a really good choice as the colour stands out against the crowd but won’t show dirt as easily.

We’re personally huge fans of the way that the bag looks and although it can look a little clumsy when arranged in the “piggyback” configuration, overall it’s a very purposeful pack.

Testing the backpack

After a testing period of 5+ months across 6 different countries, we can safely say t he Fairview 70 works very well.

It’s been thrown around in Japan, chucked onto overnight buses in Thailand, and navigated the chaos of Vietnam without a hitch. There are zero rips, marks, or failures in either of the packs and both remain in top condition. 

The large pack has enough space to pack all the essentials alongside some creature comforts and, with the ability to combine the two bags together, it makes for a great travel companion.

The daypack is great for taking on day trips, out to explore a new city or to the beach with the laptop sleeve proving incredibly useful. However, the netting without the elastic is near useless when items are inside the pack and we often opted to carry our water bottles instead of packing them.

Although the party piece of the packs is the ability to join the pair together, it does take some getting used to. If you’ve packed the main bag a little optimistically, it can be very difficult to “piggyback” the day pack.

When the pair are joined, the depth of the pack is noticeable and it’s easy to find yourself off-balance and/or in the way. This isn’t too much of a problem when in transit, but walking long distances through tight spaces can be tricky.

Overall verdict

The Osprey Fairview 70 is one of the best travel backpacks for beginners and is a great recommendation for those looking to test the travel waters. It’s cost-effective, offers two bags in one, and has more than enough space to allow for a packing error or two.  For new backpackers, Osprey Fairview will do nothing but look after you!

Faq: osprey fairview 70.

If you’re looking to buy the perfect travel backpack, you’re bound to be full of questions about your shortlisted choices – check out our FAQ below to see the most common questions about the Fairview 70.

The Osprey Farpoint range is the travel backpacks ergonomically designed with the male frame in mind whereas the Fairview range is designed for female body types.

Ultimately, the packs are the same with subtle differences in the harness positions for maximum comfort.

Unfortunately, the main 70L pack is a little too large to fit as a carry-on in the majority of airlines – especially budget ones that we travellers like to stick to!

However, the beauty of the Fairview range is the detachable 13L daypack which can be unzipped from the main pack when required and used as a carry-on.

Ultimately there is no “best” backpack and each come with their own pros and cons.

However, for the average backpacker trying to squeeze their life into a backpack – we would advise choosing the Fairview 55L . Thanks to its smaller size, you’ll be less tempted to pack unnecessary items, keeping uber convenient and efficient when on the move.

After travelling South East Asia for the best part of 6 months with a 70L backpack, we would recommend opting for a smaller example.

However, for beginner travellers, the larger size is great for getting to grips with long-term travel. It’s also the best choice if you’re planning on bringing back space-sucking souvenirs.

If you have any other questions about the pack that we’ve missed off our list then please get in touch with your query and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
