Customer Reviews Osprey Arcane Large Day

This is a great backpack, i've used it most days for the last 2 years and couldn't recommend enough. It's not particularly spacious, i'm considering getting the XL version for travel and when i need more space. The size of this large one is really nice though for laptop and accessories and i will continue to use it. it is very slender when packed full which is very nice and comfortable The back padding and the straps are high quality and comfortable, and so is the lifting handle. The water bottle sleeve is such a great design, the confidence that it will never slip out is appreciated. I sometimes use the sleeve for sunglasses or other items too. My main complaint is with the security clip on the strap. That clip and design was a big reason i chose this pack over others, to be able to easily attach my pack to my chair or something and not have to watch it as closely. It is very difficult to actually clip and unclip, particularly because the canvas loop is fairly small, and the clip has a small lip that causes it to get stuck. the latch itself is also small and pretty hard to hold open with your thumb. the concept is great, but I would suggest a bigger clip that slides through a bigger canvas loop for easier on and off. For added security you could use a locking carabiner style clip. I added a locking carabiner myself, so it hasnt been an issue. but i hold Osprey to a high standard and would love to see them improve the function of this great idea.
