The Fairview 55 is Ospreys lightest travel backpack yet. Featuring a zip-away spacer mesh ventilated backpanel, the Fairview can be carried like a backpack but packed like a suitcase. Fairview’s backsystem offers an impressive women's specific fit, with an ergonomically shaped hipbelt, harness, yoke and backpanel. The strong and durable backsystem means you can carry your gear comfortably when travelling between hotels, the airport or beyond.
Cushioned carry handles on the top and the sides allow you to easily grab the travel pack off airport baggage carousels. Your gear is readily to hand, with the inclusion of a large zippered lockable opening that allows access to the main compartment. The compression straps are also used to attach and secure a 13L 'zip and clip' daypack, which includes all the organisation you'll ever need; a top stash pocket for electronics and sunglasses, dual side pockets and a laptop sleeve. The daypack can also clip onto the harness of the main pack, in a 'kangaroo' style attachment. This provides a very secure way to carry your daypack when you want to keep your valuables or tickets to hand. Inside the main cargo bag is a mesh pocket ideal to separate dirty clothes and shoes. Internal compression straps fully maximise the capacity whilst securing your gear. For overnight trips attach a sleeping pad to the lower external straps.
With all the organisation and clever features that you need, it's time to share your next adventure with a Fairview 55 backpack.

Quite a nice travel backpack with a good carrying system. The backpack also works when underfilled thanks to the tightening straps, although the straps on the outside of the backpack only tighten up to a certain point. The included daypack is also very convenient and easy to carry and goes nicely on the front side of the big backpack's straps, at least when you adjust the shoulder straps of the small backpack under the hip belt of the big backpack so that the small backpack does not swing its lower part away from the body. Despite the daypack, it would be nice if the big backpack had at least one outer pocket or a small pocket on the top, like the corresponding 40l model without a small backpack, so that the big backpack could be used better even without a small backpack.
