This bag is beatiful inside
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bag is beatiful inside and out. Lots of practical great organization. Love this bag for my EDC.

The internal pocket layout, laptop
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The internal pocket layout, laptop sleeve and overall design are great. Very well thought-out functionality and ergonomics, as to be expected from Osprey. The width and padding on the carry strap is comfy and stable, and the bag seems like a very durable construction. Small detail, but I also appreciate the metal closure hooks for the main compartment, rather than loud / hard-to-operate buckles. 3 stars due to a few complaints (some also pointed out in other reviews): - Would be nice to have the padded portion of the carry strap adjustable for where it sits on the strap. This bag carries nicely in riding position, with the bag high on the back. But if you are also airport commuting or just walking between meetings, etc, it can be nice to simply sling the bag over your shoulder and not necessarily be in "commute mode". - For someone with a bigger frame, there is not enough adjustability in the stabilizer cross-body strap to get it down low-enough on the chest. It sits pretty high where it leaves the main strap, even at the bottom of it's adjustability range, such that it is located up towards the left armpit rather than on the side of the body. Would be great to just have another 1-2 inches of travel downward for the location of this strap. - As others have mentioned, what the heck is the purpose of the metal piece on the end of the strap?? Just seems to swing around and get in the way. Maybe I can open a beer with it? Lots of other beer-opening tools out there, and overall seems somewhat useless, so I will try to remove this myself. Any consideration of making this from waterproof materials, rather than requiring a separate rain cover?

So sad.
I wish this awesome bag had a shoulder strap that could be hung the other way. I am left handed and wear my satchels over my right shoulder and sitting at my left hip. This bag is designed for people that wear it the other way, rendering most of the strap options useless for me. Very sad at this design.

Loving this bag
I have been loving this bag since the day I bought it. I needed to replace a worn-out backpack style laptop bag used primarily for work. My main focus was a simplistic, messenger style bag and the Metron 18 delivers. At 18L you know exactly what you are getting size wise and it allowed me to eliminate some of the unnecessary ""stuff"" you accumulate in a laptop bag over the years. The over the shoulder design carries comfortably and the material quality is excellent. Once closed and cinched the bag feels bulletproof. My only complaint would be that the bag should come with an instruction manual. The designers really did think of everything. Several days after purchase I was finding new little quirks and features of the bag that were not listed anywhere on the description - small stuff pouch for the secondary chest strap. Love it and would highly recommend.

Wanted to like this bag...
I wanted to love this bag -- The material is of good quality, but the functionality of this bag is lacking. It is overall low volume (holds a couple of books at most). The straps are not functional -- you can only wear the bag over one shoulder, it is sewn in odd (it has a twist in it and you are unable to untwist it because it is sewn in at both ends). There is also an additional hooked strap that extends from the shoulder strap and isn't removable -- I have no idea what it is for, but it catches on things and is overall a nuisance. It would could be improved by having a zipper top under the flap -- items are not always secure during use. I wish i hadn't purchased this bag -- but given the cost, I have to try and get some use out of it.

And they thought of everything...
Alright, one more follow up. They thought of everything... The thumb-pull hook at the end of strap clips into the daisy chain at the chest, so there is no dangling hook. There is even a built-in stuff pouch for the secondary chest strap when not in use. These industrial designers deserve a beer.

Think I figured out the hook
I left a previous review and wanted to follow up... After some more use, I think I figured out the hook at the end of the shoulder strap. It make a really nice thumb pull when adjusting the strap. The length put it right where it should be ergonomically. It still hangs out there a bit, but liking the design more and more. The hardware on this pack is very nice.

Great design, fits my 17"" laptop, what is this hook for?
Love the bag so far. Excellent quality and features. Really like the laptop pocket in the front instead of the usual back placement – it feels more protected. It also fits my Dell 5750 17"" laptop, which was a big deal for me. I am an architect and the software I use runs best on a PC and a large screen is also need. Most of the bags out there are geared toward 13"" laptops or 16"" if you look hard. It is tight, but the laptop fits very nicely. There is enough room left in the bag for a site visit - clip board, measuring tapes and laser, flashlight, water bottle, pens, chargers, etc. The only thing that leaves me perplexed is the strap design. I really like the shoulder strap. It's comfortable, awesome metal hardware, daisy chain, and the bag stays very secure with the secondary strap in place. However, there is a long pigtail coming off the main strap with a nice metal hook at the end (you can see this on the male model in the photos). I can't figure out what this hook is for and seems like it could get hung up on things. The secondary strap also dangles a foot below the bag when not connected. It would be nice if this strap had a second connection for storage when not in use. As is, I zip it up in the rain cover pouch. Osprey – what's up with the long pigtail and hook at the end of the shoulder strap?
