Osprey

Very compact, light, and waterproof, for the most part. I got this bcs I was having back pain, and the front strap really helps distribute the weight.

I bought this bag before going to Europe to study abroad, thinking I'd use it for weekend excursions. I wouldn't buy it again and am going to attempt to return it now that I'm back in the US. My main complaint is that the rigid, curved back (while cool and comfy) severely limits the size and shapes of items you can put in the bag. For example, my 15-inch laptop barely fits, even when it's just in a neoprene sleeve. With the laptop (or any other larger, rigid or semi-inflexible object, paperback books, shoes, etc.) in the bag, it is super difficult to fit anything else in there. A big disappointment to me since I blog and wanted to be able to bring my laptop with me to different places. Also disappointing is that when the bag's main compartment is full, the side mesh pockets don't stretch open far enough to fit a water-bottle of any size. In short, this bag would probably be great if you're carrying nothing but clothing. If not, I recommend looking for something else.

This backpack is amazing. It was exactly what I was looking for. It is comfortable, roomy, and very sturdy. It can easily hold enough gear for an overnight trip, and was perfect for snowshoeing where you always carry extra gear. The shoulder straps are perfectly padded, and easily adjustable. I was measured in store before I purchased it, and it is absolutely perfect for my shape. I love the pockets on the waist straps as well. I chose the blue color which is just beautiful and it is clear that this pack will last. In fact, I loved it so much that I bought a smaller version as well. You cannot go wrong with this one.

I have been looking for a do it all bag that I can take to work, the gym or take hiking and this has been a good choice.I have another Osprey pack that is more technical, but too large for day to day use. Osprey is a fantastic company, the bags are well built and well thought out. There is plenty of storage space with separate compartments and it can cinch up if you don't need to cut of side to side movement when in use. I was concerned that the back panel and the thin belt would not be substantial enough for use in the woods, but I am wrong. So far, it does a good job of staying with me and holds everything I need for light hikes or day packs. Overall, it has been a great choice and I look forward to lots of years of use.

I bought the bag for my son. He loves it. It has a place for everything so nothing moves around in the bag too much. He loves the clasps and the shoulder strap. The color was a great pleaser.

Just the right size for travel. Bought khaki color for my travel to Asia. It is durable, stylish and withstand rain and dust. Wish it came with a zipper for the main compartment. But the inner draw cord held up all my stuff well. It has a good quality workmanship!

I love this bag. I wanted it for travel more than for daily use, although I had it in mind to use as a "diaper bag" in a few months as well. I was a bit worried that it might be a bit too big and bulky, but it holds everything I need and is of manageable size. Lots of great compartments, too!

I'm an older traveler and I took this as my only bag for three weeks tourism in Japan. It worked just fine. I mostly carried it as a backpack, but it was nice to be able to tuck the straps away. It's roomy, durable, and attractive.

This is super light, and provides an amazing amount of room. I have only used it for long weekends so far, but I am surprised at how well everything fits. The buckles and straps are durable and handles comfortable.

This is a great backpack, exactly what I expected. There is plenty of padding for your laptop, pocket is off the bottom by about an inch for extra protection. There is not a ton of room for stuff other than the laptop - enough for a book and lunch maybe. Several pockets for small stuff, one on the side. My only minigripe is that I wish it would have velcro under the flap, so I could just close it without bucking, like Timbuk2 does.

Purchased this bag to carry my iPad in and, overall, I like it. It is lightweight and roomy enough to carry a few extra items in. It is just the right size to carry a tablet or smaller laptop. The strap is adjustable, and the floral design is pretty but not too girlie. This bag appears to be very well constructed. I ordered this bag in Jet Black, but the color is actually gray. I wasn't bothered enough to send it back but I took one star away for that and the little green strap which doesn't match the rest of the bag.

Looked through hundreds, if not THOUSANDS, of bags before purchasing this from Zappos. It's the perfect size for an overworked high school student. The padding is comfortable and the bag is durable, overall. The style walks the fine line between label conscious and obnoxious. Good for boy or girl.

Very cool bag! Protects computer real well. Lots of handy pockets. Cell phone holder did not fit my HTC phone with Otter box case and I was looking forward to that feature.

These videos are the worst. All of the loops are for...clipping stuff on. Randy, I want to actually see inside the pack, to see what kind of storage pockets it has. And you didn't even mention that it has an attached rain cover!

I love this pack. Fits my 15.4 inch laptop and lots of space. easy pull-tabs on zippers. Looking forward to using this when traveling. I'm a 5'3 woman and this pack fits really well.

Awesome bag. I keep my iPad, a textbook, folder and some gym clothes no problem. Just the right size. I have had lots of compliments on it. I wish the blue was available but happy with this green color.

Backpack is quite a bit smaller than it looks in the picture. The blue is a darker shade of blue than picture suggests. The tags say "Men's"... I'm not sure if it's designed for men, but the Zappos product description did not indicate this. May not be an issue, but women's backpacks have a slightly different design. Overall, it's a smaller backpack than expected, but may just end up being the perfect size for my hiking endeavors! Thanks Zappos!

I love this bag. Hard to say why, it's just...right. Not too big, not too small, not too casual, not too professional. Just plain right.

This is the perfect bag for a weekend or a carry-on! It has tons of space and the two tie down straps on front really tighten it all up! It has superb design and is very comfortable even with a heavy load.

I spent 2½ weeks traveling in Europe. I did pack light, but this backpack was incredible. I took three t-shirts, two golf shirts, four button down shirts, two pairs of pants, two pairs of shorts, three pairs of shoes, and various toiletries. I fit all of these without a struggle, still leaving a bit of room. The zip off small backpack is a great feature also. This bag will last a lifetime and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
