Spacious main compartment– 50 liters compared to the traditional Farpoint 55’s main compartment which was 40 liters. By the way, the Trek version of the Farpoint does not have an S/M or M/L version, since it can be adjusted to any height.

The other common question I get is if the 40L carry-on size is big enough for certain trips. I think traveling minimally is great, but there are some trips where you might need a bit of extra space.

If I were going on a big round-the-world trip or gap year today — one that would take me through multiple climates — I would likely go for this set-up instead of just a single carry-on.
