Osprey Arcane Roll Top Backpack Pine Leaf Green Heather

I took this on a weekend trip recently and it is spacious for a 30L duffel pack. Packing ultra light one could use this for a week. It is very lightweight, well built and looks good - it has more of an urban vibe. I'm not a fan of the TPU coated fabrics and this fabric has a nice look and feel to it. The sides of the bag have an internal thin foam inside the outer body fabric that adds a bit of structure, making packing easy. The shoulder straps are comfortable but lack a sternum strap, which would be a good addition. The back padding is adequate and has a mesh covering that minimizes heat build up but lacks a center channel which would help more with ventilation. The back padding and shoulder straps have a very fine textured mesh fabric covering the actual padding ... MoreI took this on a weekend trip recently and it is spacious for a 30L duffel pack.

The back padding is adequate and has a mesh covering that minimizes heat build up but lacks a center channel which would help more with ventilation. The back padding and shoulder straps have a very fine textured mesh fabric covering the actual padding material and it seems comfortable. I don't travel with a laptop but the zippered laptop pocket seems generous in size and is easy to use; inside the laptop sleeve I insert a piece of 3/16" black foam core (from picture framing material) that adds a bit of additional structure since I don't travel with a laptop. The bag has very little external organization (one small zippered slash pocket on the top back-side), which to some is a good thing but I would prefer one additional outer pocket- on the top of the lid. The only internal organization is a small zippered mesh pocket centered on the underside of the lid; a second one that extends the full length of the underside of the lid would be better. But I made it work just fine as is. The lid is very lightweight and this is an excellent feature in my opinion. The zippers are high quality as is all the hardware - all made of an aluminum that should last for a long time- and it looks good too. It doesn't have a water bottle pocket but to me that is not a deal breaker. I used the top zippered slash pocket for a .5L soft platypus bottle.My two chief complaints are:1. The lack of internal compression straps- the items tend to settle to the bottom of the pack and the compression straps would help mitigate this from happening. I'm thinking of adding a pair myself. The use of packing cubes do help to minimize the contents from settling to the bottom.2. The lack of a sternum strap for the shoulder straps.Overall this bag earns a solid 4 stars and is a keeper for a minimalistic travel companion. I don't see it as an EDC- there are other, more fully featured (heavier too) options for that.

I use this backpack for game nights. I love the internal organization and extra pockets on the front. The padded straps are *actually* comfortable to wear. The side pocket for a water bottle is surprisingly stretchy; I wouldn't recommend stuffing a Nalgene in there, but you could definitely do it.

I have had this backpack for 2 months now, it meets all of my requirements commuting to work or going about my day in the city. The side bottle holder is smart and an Osprey standard. I can access the front zipper pocket even while I am biking. It doesn't have a lot of different pockets, a simplistic feature and exactly what I need.
