Why We Like The Osprey Packs Fairview 55L Backpack
If you need to pack a weekend full of essentials into minimal luggage, the Fairview 55L Backpack is for you. A large main compartment holds your bigger items and features a sleeve for your laptop or tablet, all of which is kept safe with lockable sliders on the main compartment zipper. Several mesh pockets around the backpack hold your smaller items, while a detachable daypack allows for additional storage when you need a few extra items.

Review Summary
Customer Images
Here's what customers have to say
The backpack is praised for its large capacity, comfort, and organizational features, making it suitable for travel, hiking, and backpacking. However, some users found issues with the daypack component, including poor design, discomfort, and difficulty attaching it to the main bag. Additionally, the bag's width and shoulder straps were considered too wide, especially for smaller users. Some reviewers also felt the bag was overly complicated and lacked clear instructions.

Doesn't fit petite frame
Love the bag, looks perfect, but it's impossible to get it to fit comfortably on a 5ft 2ish female frame. It either digs too much into the back of my neck or the plastic bits on the straps knock against my inner arm. Support were super helpful so I'm going to return and hopefully swap for another model

DO NOT BUY. Get the 40L instead
It is not at all obvious from the website or any of the online reviews of this pack, but the large pack that is part of the 55L version is NOT the same as the 40L pack sold separately. The 40L pack has a top pocket and a laptop pocket and two other outside pockets. The large pack that is part of the 55L version has none of those things and it is a GIANT pain to not have them. I don’t like the daypack at all. It’s strangely narrow and the outside pockets are too small and the zip enclosure doesn’t open far enough. And for some reason it makes my shoulders incredibly, unreasonably sore when I wear it for more than a couple of hours, even when I don’t have much in it. That has never happened to me with any other backpack. Do yourself a favor; buy the 40L pack along with some other daypack from somewhere else. Any daypack with loops on the front big enough to run straps through will attach to the 40L pack. I wish Osprey would have made the differences between the two versions clear. That said, other things about the large pack are nice. It seems to be well-constructed. The backpack support system is comfortable—enough so that I took it on a six day mountain backpacking trip without discomfort. The main drawback is that it has essentially nothing in the way of internal organizational structure; it’s just one giant compartment. That the 55L lacks the external pockets of the 40L compounds this issue.

The Perfect Travel Pack
This travel pack has changed the way I travel, and all for the better. I traveled Europe for six weeks with no more than 3 nights in one place, and while I usually dread packing and repacking, these bags made it easy and fast, even as I collected souvenirs along the way. The main bag is simple, flexible, and larger than you might think. The smaller bag is a perfect daypack and attaches easily (on the back or front), making this the best hands-free travel I've ever experienced. It's comfortable to wear no matter how full it is, and the teal color is beautiful! The size allows it to be a carry-on on flights, so it saves me money as well as time. I can't recommend it enough!

Both packs are as described.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Both packs are as described. Fits great & seems ideal for traveling (main purpose besides hiking). . . can't wait to try it out on the trails!

Not for me
Returned this. Too complicated for my needs. Perfectly good and high quality but not for me.

Fairview 55
Considering the cost of the bag and expertise of Osprey I'm surprised, and disappointed at the lack of external pockets for both rucksacks. Absolutely none on the big bag so nowhere to put keys, water bottle or any small items you might need to access quickly. Only 1 small pocket on the small rucksack. Lacking internal pockets too really compared to what I am used to, and need for travel.

Grey gap year
Bought to replace a different cheap rucksack for part 1 of our “Grey gap year”. POSITIVES: Not used in anger yet but loaded is comfortable, spacious and well designed. Compression straps assist in squeezing 6 months of clothing and kit in it! NEGATIVES: Unsure on the strap/clip design to hold the smaller rucksack to the front, don’t know if it’ll last for the whole year- we’ll see!

Great and comfy backpack
A decent backpack, big bonus that it comes with 2 bags! The bag is comfortable and is a tardis. Would have preferred if they offered it in a bigger size along with daypack but it's been treating me well on my travels around South America.

Everything you need to travel
I’m so pleased with this rucksack! It has everything I was looking for, as follows: It’s very light; There are two rucksacks that clip together and the outside one has a hidden zip; The large rucksack opens right up so you can see everything in it; The straps can be concealed to make it look more like a case and there is a side handle; Good quality and comfy for hiking. I’m writing this as I find the Osprey website doesn’t clearly state the features of the rucksacks and sometimes a feature is called different things depending on which rucksacks sack you’re looking at.

Sturdy, but not really practical
The design is awkward. No instructions come with it, so just try to remember how to attach the backpack. I think this could pack several says of clothes in summer - much less in winter. It works OK, just not overwhelmed for the price.
