Osprey Rolling Transporter 40 - Travelbag

Perfect for me!The bag feels really durable; the wheels are amazing on rough ground compared to the typical small wheels; the size is just right (lots of space, but not too difficult to keep under 23kg).I'm very pleased so far, as I usually am with Osprey products.

Great Bag!

I bought this about a month ago, and took it to the mountains of NC for a hiking trip. I love that it is waterproof, rolls easily, is spacious for the look of it and can fit in an overhead bin on a plane. The one negative is the handle, you have to pay attention when you retract it, the first time it gave me a wicked blood blister. But it only happened once. I love Osprey, they make quality products. I got this to replace my 3 year old Granite Gear carry on bag as it was falling apart. I'm tough on bags, I travel 300 days a year for work, they are thrown around in planes and trucks. I wants a bag that has sturdy wheels, good solid fabric that would hold up to the elements and travel. So far I am loving the bag. I hope it lasts for more than 3 years.

Great Carry On

Bought this as a carry on. Wanted a soft bag that could squeeze into more spaces. Checked this week in the sizing device at the airport and it fit perfectly. Lots of handles as well which is great!

Great bag for domestic and international

I am a disciple of Rick Steves, so packing light and never checking a bag is a principle I hold dear. This bag is amazing. Light, water resistant, and able to fit more than you might imagine. I’ve taken it to Europe 3 times, and wheeling it around airports, train stations, and even on cobbled streets is a breeze. And when I need to carry it, it has plenty of grab handles to make it easy. Get you one!

I think it will be perfect

This is what I think will be my go to travel piece. So well made. Nice stitching and the zippers are sturdy and lockable, just came back from a 23 day cycling trip with a much too big bag and so ordered this one to check it out. It actually holds everything I need for my next cycling trip and much easier for me to move around. I can lift it above my head when full so should be able to get it into the overhead. The size seems perfect. But I wont know for sure until I put it into actual use . The colour stands out so if I had to check it I will be able to spot it on the baggage carrousel.The bag has a nice depth and is kind of soft so it’s easy to stuff everything in the bag. Has compression straps and then opening has a zipper pocket which is a good size. The handle ... MoreThis is what I think will be my go to travel piece. So well made.

Has compression straps and then opening has a zipper pocket which is a good size. The handle doesn’t seem to take up space in the interior. I like to use the slim packing cubes as I can shape them easier into the bag. Even have space for my bike helmet and shoes and it’s not overstuffed. Great pocket for liquids. No outer pockets (except the liquids pocket) which very seldom have any space once you fill out the bag. Nice sturdy wheels . Lots of grab handles one on each side. The handle seems sturdy and I like the fact that it’s a two post handle. The bag is so light in comparison to my previous bag when full only 16lbs. It seems much more spacious that I expected. I’m confident it’s all I’ll need for my 15 day adventure.

Literally hurts to use.

I asked my local Moosejaw store in Chicago to get me one of these in for me to review. They gladly obliged (thanks!), I inspected it, and bought it. Easy peasy.However, the bag has a design flaw. When I collapse the telescoping handle, my pinky finger gets pinched at one of joints, bruising it or even reading off some skin, resulting in bleeding. I spent an hour in the Atlanta airport with a handkerchief wrapped around my finger. I got punched at least four times in this one trip.I just relegated the bag to my basement.Note that some other Osprey bags use handles of a different design (i.e., one telescoping pole instead of two) that might very well not have this problem.

Needs a strap to carry over shoulder

I like the case - has good application possible. But only handles (thus pretty much a suitcase). Would benefit from having optional strap. Backpack pair of straps even better

Should have gotten the darker color

The bag is wonderful. Water proof and light weight. I bought the silver version. The airline handling left it less than pleasing with dsrk belt streaks. That said, for a 5-6 day clothes only pack, it was more than good and held to appx 15kg which is the cheap intl airline baggage allowance.

perfect beater travel bag

Rigid frame and rugged wheels make this thing pretty 4wd without being heavy or clumsy. Very well waterproofed and grab handles everywhere. lightweight but manages to feel indestructible. Planning on using mine for a year abroad. Also know that the 2019 model is completely different design and much more suited for airline specific usage. This 2018 model feels like it should be strapped to the top of a bus in Central America or tossed in a boat in Belize.
