This is a great backpack

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great backpack - for work or play. The roll top makes it very accommodating.

Comfy and perfect size!

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I bought this for a trip I was going on and it’s the perfect size. It’s very comfortable and has lots of great storage pockets without being overwhelming. I also like the roll top feature so that you can fit more or less in depending on your needs.

Comfortable, simple.

The rolltop feature is great and I like the side entry pocket for documents, small items. It is comfortable and will fit under the seat on an airplane (unless you fill it close to its max). Main "negatives: the key fob shouldn't be in the main bag since it is difficult to find when there are other items, and the stuff pocket needs to expand out a bit more (even a pair of gloves is a tight fit).

Great work bag

Been using for work travel and every day for my laptop. Protected my laptop when my house was destroyed in a tornado. I figured the interior of the bag would be wet after all the rain but when I pulled it out of the rubble the interior was dry.

Awesome Everyday Pack

I've used it several times

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.

Good pack that could use a few improvements

Grabbed this on sale and it's a solid pack for a day hike, travel and work. Pack has a lot of capacity for it's size. Only knock I would give is that I wish they would reorganize the front panel pocket with a bit more attention to storing smaller items like wallets, headphones, key's, glasses, writing utensils etc. It's a nice deep pocket but everything you store is in a big jumble. Also not sure why the included key fob is in the main pocket, where in order to grab your keys you need to stop, unhook the top, unwrap the cover and reach in.

It checks a couple of boxes

This bag is attractive. It's very comfortable and the side bottle pocket is excellent. It is not big enough for your laptop, headphones, keyboard, etc. You can stuff an outer layer in the front pocket, but it distorts the bag significantly. A side zipper to the main compartment would make this so much better. With the roll top it's very difficult to see / access the pockets inside the bag.

Excellent do-everything backpack

I'm just going to come out and say it - the roll top is sexy. It has its naysayers, but not only does it look extremely aesthetic, this thing will convert from a lightweight school bag to an all-day-expedition workhouse by simply rolling more or less. As usual, Osprey has hit it out of the ballpark on function - the strap hook is very easy to do and undo and, far from most roll top haters perception, takes less time than most zippers do. It should be noted that there's little organization. It is, like one redditor describes roll tops, ""a cavernous hole to put your stuff in"". This suits my packing style perfectly however, as I never know what to do with too many pockets. As for definite cons... The water bottle mesh pocket isn't nearly big enough for most water bottles. Unfortunate. But it makes an excellent extra stuff pocket for a handkerchief, cards, etc! I also personally wish the stuff pocket on the front expanded just a little more, and that something was added to the other outside side panel, opposite the water bottle pocket. A second mesh pocket, perhaps? Or a couple small pockets for odds and ends that you don't want in the cavernous hole? It just seems like wasted potential. All in all, only one true con and a lot of pros. Osprey once again nails it.
