Customer Reviews Osprey Nebula

I like the bag overall, but the location of the straps that tighten the outside stretchy compartment are oddly placed. When they are buckled, they dont let the zippered compartments open all the way. Other than that, I like it!

I can't complain that I received this as a replacement. I took it out yesterday on It's debut. These are my thoughts. This is more like laptop backpack as the back pocket is very narrow. The middle pocket is deep but can't be opened wider as the zipper stops halfway down on each side. I like to put my daily meals into the backpack but it being too narrow, I have to use a separate lunch bag. There's not enough small pockets in the first pocket like my previous one. I'm on the fence on the outside pocket. The Only way to secure it is by using the clips/buckle on the side. It's hard to unclip the buckle while wearing it one shoulder to get into that front pocket. The side pocket for beverage works great! Maybe day 2 outing will be better.

I really like the Nebula 32... it's got all the pockets you need and is great size for the office or a weekend trip. However, I don't understand the thought behind the shoulder straps... there is stark white foam that shows brightly through the blue (in my case) mesh that goes up and down the strap. Unfortunately, I can't help but feel like this was a design oversight. I see the white foam out of the corner of my eyes every time I turn my head... it's not a good look. To me, it looks cheap. Your mileage may vary. There is also a large piece of white foam on the rear of the pack to support a person's back... still not great, but it's at least hidden while wearing the backpack. In my case, the white foam is too distracting and I'm returning the bag. I'm bummed. Sorry, Osprey. :(

Fit and size are great. Feels lightweight while still being spacious enough to hold lots of materials.

This one is a replacement for the first one that went off to college and was put to every test known to 18-year-old sensibilities. Back in action thanks to the AMG, love the pack, love the look, and love that it will go back to college. Plenty of space, and room with a laptop pocket, what's not to like?

Great quality and service. Highly recommended.

I love the configuration and quantity of pockets! The pack fits well, it doesnt sag when it only has a few things in it like its predecessor did. And it fits well.

Very pleased with this company and the customer service.

I have the backpack for two weeks to replace my old Northface backpack. It is light and versatile. Looks nice, too.

Son-in-law is thrilled with the perfect work backpack!

All around the perfect daily pack.

I absolutely love my Nebula bag. Its super durable and works for all my daily needs. It has so much space to fit everything I would need for day to day work or to go out and explore. The zippers are super smooth with no tugging on the fabric causing rips or tears. The size is perfect for me!

Great pack for school and work duties. Perfect fit and size for my motorcycle commute. Wish the back pack came with integrated reflectors or hi-viz panel for night riding on motorcycles or bikes. That would make this the absolute perfect backpack.

I love everything about this pack except for one tiny detail. The clips from the mesh, stash pocket in the front need to be unclipped each time you want to unzip a compartment. I think the design would be improved if the stash pocket had different or no clips.

Had various backpacks from Osprey, Deuter, Gregory and others along the road. The Nebula answered almost all my wishlist regarding other bags. The compretion straps keeps it small when it's relatively empty for day to day, but allow a very generous amount of gear when fully loaded. Great arrangement of pockets etc, and deep enough water bottle holders. Would love a little more serious waist belt, then it would really be perfect.

Great backpack for a weekend-long trip!

The bag is spacious and has a good number of pockets to organize things. The laptop chain does feel a bit inconvenient, but eventually one can get used to it. The bag looks good overall and feels comfy for travel.

Very versatile and compact to carry. Plenty of storage.

Excellent! Only complaint is I wish the laptop pouch was larger. I have a 17 inch laptop and while it fits in the backpack barely, it doesn't fit in the specific laptop pouch

I love this pack but. No real but:-). I have a previous version of this pack and it has always bothered that the front zipper pocket only has one zipper, unlike the rest of the large pockets that have two. Glad to see they remedied this with the recent model.

Great lightweight bag for commuting and walking around the city if you need the extra space. I use it to carry my lunch, work uniforms, water bottle, rain coat, miscellaneous items and could fit much more if I need it. All this without it being overly bulky.

Love it! Travelled through Europe recently without any problems. Its also a great looking bag.

This is my first non-hiking specific bag that I've purchased from Osprey and I will say I was expecting a little more in terms of functionality. The pack looks amazing and has a great feel while wearing it, however there are some headaches while dealing with it. I use this pack everyday and I have little need for the shove-it pocket, as such the clips cause more interference since they cover the laptop sleeve and main compartment zippers. I would also have liked a little more options in smaller storage space than an open scratch-resistant pocket and one small zip organization pocket. I would definitely use this bag more for quick trips where you don't have to constantly access your pockets rather than a dedicated everyday pack.

It was absolutely perfect for my 9 day trip exploring the Pacific Northwest!

Took this to Europe and Canada. Such a great bag with lots of pockets and space, double zippers that work both directions, and overall great functionality for a lightweight and pretty spacious backpack. Color is great. So glad I got it!
