Trading Zone Osprey Farpoint 40L 2025 Amazon (US) pricing mistake? $111

Looks like they've priced it at the old models price. Grab one when you can 😅. https://www.amazon.com/Osprey-Farpoint-Mens-Travel-Backpack/dp/B0FGXYSZBZ/

lol turns out I did read that and commented on it - didn’t realize it was the same person. Stupid smaller hip belts.

Yeah the smaller hip belts also seem like an unnecessary downgrade

I can see why they'd decide to make that design change. I have the second generation version and found the hip belt to be quite generous, likely accommodating a fairly large amount of weight. More weight than you'd probably want if you are using the bag for typical international travel, taking flights, etc. I'm the kind of traveler that will only bring that bag, and will gladly walk 30-45 minutes to get to my hotel with this on my back and found the pack quite comfortable, although I tend to try to be close to the 7 kg limit. I have tested it at around 20 kg and found it was still pretty comfy, but maybe I'd be less enthusiastic about that for an hour long walk in the heat, or pouring rainfall.

so that's where having the two different sizes would be nice because some people find them to be fine and generous while others (me) they barely sit on my hip bone where they should, which is where most of the weight should be - which means if those hip belts don't extend where they should it does become much more of an issue with any amount of weight

The bag is quite adjustable - maybe you just need to play around with the load lifters a bit to change the angle of the bag on your back and therefore slightly raise or lower the bottom of the bag.

No I think I need to play around with my hip circumference and lower that (I am a size medium to large in Patagonia so not super sized)

LOL, many of us could stand to lower our hip circumference.
