does the Osprey Farpoint 40 have a additional shoulder strap for carrying without the backpack straps?

No. Top and side handles only and no d-rings for attaching a shoulder strap.

I just purchased this Osprey Farpoint 40 last week from Amazon and received it yesterday. Yes, this new Osprey Farpoint 40 does have an additional side shoulder strap besides the rear shoulder strap. This side shoulder may reduce the total weight of your backpack to both your shoulder strap and hand. Pretty good design by Osprey.You may view the image here:http://gogobackpacking.wordpress.com/

Yes, there is an included shoulder strap that can be used. You can stow away the backpack straps behind a zip-up panel and then hook up the shoulder strap to carry it in that orientation. It also has a side-handle which makes it even more convenient to carry the bag this way.

The other answers are correct. I believe your question was whether there was a messenger-style shoulder strap. There is not, but there is both a top handle and side handle for carrying by hand when you do not wish to use the shoulder straps.

I'm pretty sure there is not an additional shoulder strap. I'm not sure why you wouldn't use just one or both of the backpack straps since they work great. There is also a handle type strap on top.

The 3 ways to carry this bag would be backpack style, by the top handle or by the side handle. The only straps it has are the 2 straps for backpack use. These straps can be tucked away behind a zipped compartment if you choose to carry it another way. The other ways would be by the handle at the top or on the side. Both handles are padded very well to offer more comfort while holding it.

The one I ordered is a Farpoint 40, I just looked at it. My wife ordered it, but I liked it so much I got the exact same backpack.

I don't know... you can not see a shoulder strap in the photo nor do they refer to one in the description.

Yes, there is a bar across the back that we use to carry it. It would also be really easy to add a strap. I you do, use one of those sliding pads for your shoulder.

No ther is no MOLLE on the bak, just two shoulder straps and a waist strap.

Yes it does, not a particularly fancy one, and the bag has a shoulder strap attached to it.

No shoulder strap, just a carrying handle permanently attached. You could probably rig something through the pull-loops at the front and back ends of the zipper without too much trouble, though.

No it does not. For my daughter we hook it to her backpack with a caribeener (not sure if I have the right spelling on that). There is no place for a makeshift shoulder strap either. However this is a great product and has held up wonderfully in the hands of a 6 yr old tossing it around.

No. It has a leather handle only. No straps to carry over shoulder. Forr the price I am very happy with the quality.

No... no shoulder strap. (But i still love it.) Laptop lunches does make many bags that do have shoulder straps, but they don't have tbe "extra" top container.

Yes but there is no shoulder strap, just strap handles like on a duffle bag. So you have to hold it in your hands.

Yes, it does. It has the two short hand-held straps and then one long adjustable shoulder strap. The shoulder strap also has a little plastic gripper on it so it doesn't slide off your shoulder.

Yes, the shoulder straps are removable and you can just use the waist strap!

Yes it does have shoulder straps but I have never used them. I bought it for using the wheels since I have a bad back.

Yes it does and the one on the bottom can detach and has a seperate carrying strap for a quick detach bag in case you need to ditch the weight if your pack for something lighter

No backpack style straps. It comes with a shoulder strap, like a purse style of carry.

Unfortunately no. I still need to carry my bag. I can say that the convenience of this vest is outstanding. One can hike, stoop, bend over, etc w/o the swaying and potential camera damage if using a conventional strap. I love it !! Frank
