Customer Reviews Osprey Momentum 26

I bought mine for college. I was not sure how much structure it provided - even after viewing photos and the video. But when this baby arrived I was in heaven. I am a woman that is nearly 5'10" (barefoot) so I ordered the M/L. Perfect for all my garb - my books, cool tools, water bottle and tea thermos, even a good spot for my iPad2 that keeps it secure while not allowing it to touch the bottom of the bag (in the event I lose my mind and drop my bag down too harshly). The straps are comfortable, the back panel is fantastic, and we compliment each other! I am about to research another one for more commuter use. I also found out that Osprey stands behind their product. If something goes wrong they will fix it - and if they cannot fix it - they will replace it. I am sold!

I first must say that I never ever take the time to write a review on a product...however, I must say that this backpack is amazing! I love it...so much so that I would almost sleep with it in bed with me if my husband didn't think I was nuts. It is the perfect size - I ordered the sm/med one and I am 5'7. I wouldn't think that the lg size would be too much bigger, but I find this one to be just right! It has so many pockets and areas to put all sorts of things...even a zip-line retractable thingy to put an i.d. or entry badge. Again, I cannot say enough wonderful things about this awesome mustard colored joy...other than what are you waiting for?!

Excellent pack! I bought this for weekend excursions as well as use on bike commutes. It is comfortable, easily adjusted, and quite spacious. It fits three days of clothes without any problem when fully expanded but can also collapse to hold just a few items. I haven't one complaint.

I ride my bike to work almost five days a week. I searched for a pack that I could use to carry a change of clothes and my laptop. This is it! I am very pleased with this backpack. I have been caught in the rain a few times and the plastic cover comes in handy. Also, I am able to attached a rear flashing LED to the back of it so that I am more visible to drivers. Hands down this is the best backpack out there. The lifetime warranty is also a huge plus.

I am a picky consumer and did a ridiculous amount of research before I settled on this pack. I picked this because it: has a rigid back panel (not quite aluminum-stiff, but pretty good); expandable; looks good; has a good valuables pocket; good shoulder straps; has waist belt; lots of pockets I can use for files and folders (or laptop); integrated rain cover. Extras that are very nice: clip for light on front bottom -excellent carry handle when straps are stowed excellent pockets ON shoulder straps when they are out lid-lock helmet carry good cinch straps nice pull tab bits padded laptop section My only complaints: waist belt is only 1/2" not 3/4 nor 1" wide water bottle holders are external, not zippered and so bottles can fall out fairly easily if pack is not upright. I would prefer a more rigid back panel.

My son loves this backpack. He commutes to work every day and needs to carry a change of clothes for the gym. He uses it as a backpack while on the MAX, then converts into an office bag with the handle. Lots of room! He also plans to use it for day hikes.

I got the Osprey Momentum 26 in Bamboo for an upcoming trip to use as a carry on. The color is true to the picture and the size worked well. I debated as to whether or not the got the larger size, but the 26L size worked well for my needs. I was able to fit my laptop and iPad into it, as well as magazines, files, agenda, pashmina, and snacks. The small pocket on the top was great for small items. I used it for a day hike and I made good use of the pockets on the straps for easy access to my iPhone and other knick knacks. I haven't had to use the rain cover, but it's great that it's there. This looks great for both men and women to use. I put two water bottles in each side pocket and they were secure. It feels comfortable on. It's been a while since I've used a backpack, but wanted something that would be comfortable walking through an airport with my carry-on items, allowing me to easily take the stairs instead of escalators, passing the crowds. I recommend this backpack and the color is great.

I wanted to like it but it is really huge. I'm 5'10" and wanted to use it for bike commuting, but it just felt too big to be an everyday bag. Of course, it does fit a ton of stuff in it, and the bike-friendly extras are nice. I ended up returning it and getting an Osprey Comet, which also fits a lot without being so massive.
