I really, really like how versatile this pack is, and how attractive it is. I purchased it as my go to backpack for travel and day-to-day use because I often go hiking after work and it's annoying to bring my work backpack in addition to my hiking daypack. It's comfortable and easy to use; though I wish the trekking pole loops were a little bit more usable, and I wish it had a few more pockets as that would make it more versatile. Other than the lack of easily accessible small storage space, my one other complaint would be that this pack is shockingly heavy. Doesn't matter as much for day hike use and my other purposes but it's literally heavier than my 63L backpacking pack

I initially bought this backpack because it was awesome looking and my work bag was way overdue to be replaced. I have used the bag now for work, a weekend trip, and lighter hiking and it's been awesome for everything. The roll top and front zip make it really easy to fit a ton of stuff inside and access it quickly. It holds a decent amount of gear while still remaining pretty slim and portable. It fits my photography gear with extra room for another layer, gloves, etc. The best part is it looks great doing everything - over all a really great versatile bag!

This is a comfy pack that's really good as my airplane carry on. Used it for a hike but wouldn't recommend it for use in the wild; more of a city bag.The roll up to close with a hook method isn't as reliable when the bag isn't filled to the proper capacity. Too little and its loose, to much and you'll only have like 1 fold which isn't super water resistant anymore.Overall though a great bag for weekend trips, and use as a day bag while traveling around.

I love this super stylish bag. I found the back panel a little too rigid at first, and as I don’t load it up to it’s max capacity, and max carry load, I decided to remove the rigid back panel and two stays, it has lightened the bag considerably. I mainly use it for work and weekend trips, but can also easily use for day hikes and outdoor shenanigans. The fabric is great and extremely durable as well. I honestly just wish there was an exterior zippered pocket for quick access to wallet and keys, but am using the rain cover compartment for this, and it works fine.
Really nice colours and materials. Slightly larger than a day pack size, but perfect for mountain jaunts. More pockets and compartments than you can shake a stick at!At first I disliked the rigid back, that curves out slightly making it harder to reach the sack's bottom. After wearing on a summer day in the mountains am a massive fan however :)No more sweaty base layers!
Supportive back, adjustable and really comfortable. Great design, love the top zip flap.Some internal pockets, a sleeve for your laptop. Fits my 14" MacBook just fine. The material is really nice and the colour is wicked 👌🏻My only complaint is that because of the rigid back, it doesn’t pack down very small. Just something to note.Also has space for a small hydration bladder.
This beautiful piece of kit is a welcomed addition to my gear. I have 3 primary kits I use and this sits square in the middle. First things first, it not a ultra light nor light pack. That said, it's not meant to be. It's more of a traditional style with modern features. Day hikes, check. Bushcraft, check. Commuting, check. The pack is bucket style with one internal zip pocket. The pack has three elastic pockets on the outside. The back pocket will hold a light jacket, gloves and the like. The side pockets are good for water bottles, trekking poles, or anything that can fit in a standard water bottle sized pocket. Had Osprey added removable gear loops to the bottom (for a tent or bed), this would have been a perfect overnight pack. Nonetheless, I love this pack for ... MoreThis beautiful piece of kit is a welcomed addition to my gear. I have 3 primary kits I use and this sits square in the middle.

It’s beautiful. I actually was going to return it because I ended up getting a really similar high quality pack from my work the same week… i even walked up to the desk and said “nevermind” haha it’s a beautiful backpack. Really high quality. Perfect for doing some traveling and hiking.
I've used it for day hikes and daily commute to work. Great back support and shoulder straps.Content easily accessible.Nice material which hopefully will last a long time.I wish it was a bit lighter, but not a big issue.
I was counting on Osprey to make a cute bag that also packed and traveled well to use for commuting, but this fell short. The pack does sit well on your shoulders and hikes well, but to pack it is terrible. The back piece curves making the black hole type main compartment very cumbersome to pack.But the main reason I had to return it is the the back piece was too long and hit me in the back of the head when I tried it on my bike. I switched to the Osprey Transporter instead and have had much better luck.
