Reasons to buy

  • The TSA-approved strap is really convenient when traveling. It also makes pulling and keeping your laptop fast.
  • Well-thought pockets and features good organization.
  • Good padding at the back panel which makes it comfortable to use.
  • The compression straps can offer a variety of functions.

Things to consider

  • The front pocket can be hard to use if the whole bag is fully packed.
  • It is not waterproof but it is water-resistant. Drizzle won't ruin your day with this pack.
  • The chest strap nor the hip belt isn't padded.

What reviewers said

  • "I bought this looking for a general-purpose daypack and for occasional overnight trips. The capacity is advertised as 30L and it feels pretty close to that. Osprey avoided lots of stupid extraneous pockets that eat into interior cargo space, fortunately. This also gives it a cleaner aesthetic."
  • "Love Osprey quality and thoughtful designs. Purchased for international travel, used for carry-on items then for 3 days of mountain hiking - lodge to lodge. Very good protection for 15" laptop and accessories when back at work. I like it and recommend it."
