Osprey Packs

Sojourn Shuttle 30in 100L Bag

Great bag, I travel a

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great bag, I travel a lot for work and having a durable and reliable bag is invaluable. I made the mistake before of buying cheap luggage only to have it destroyed on the first leg of a trip. Osprey packs are always worth it, they are built extremely well and they are backed by a very good warranty, I’ve had several repairs already done by osprey and I am extremely satisfied. As for this bag in particular, I LOVE the separate shoe compartment at the bottom, I can easily pack away a pair of boots and another pair of shoes and keep them separate from my uniforms and other clothes.

Excellent Bag - Would love a longer handle

I did a lot of research before buying this bag and it's almost perfect. It's light so you can use more of the airline weight limit for the stuff inside your bag instead of the bag itself. It's got two nice big wheels and good ground clearance so it's easy to take from the airport to cobblestone streets. It has plenty of volume but also compresses down easily which is perfect for when it's not full. My only issue is the handle isn't quite long enough to pull comfortably. I'm not very tall but I find myself kicking the back of the bag as I walk occasionally. The handle is 40.5 inches from the ground compared to the 43 inch handle on my carry-on which feels perfect. It looks like there is plenty of room for a longer handle so that's my only recommendation for the next version.

It packs like a dream

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It packs like a dream and is way roomier than anticipated. Can't wait for our trip!

We used all four pieces

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used all four pieces purchased for our trip to Australia. Everything worked out well we could carry all of our luggage. The help was with the initial weight of the luggage allows us to keep her limits under. The versatility of all the pockets was well used.

It is a good bag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a good bag that holds a lot of stuff, but it is bulkier than I thought it would be.

Holds a lot of stuff.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Holds a lot of stuff. Lots of zipper compartments for organizing items. Sturdy, very nice handle and you don’t have to bend over to pull it!

Insufficient boot bin space

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Great overall, but the boot bin is way too small. I was hoping to store ski boots there, and that absolutely won't work - out looking for some kind of dry bag for the boots now. I believe I ran into marketing that implied it was a good choice of bag for ski trips and similar. The bin is also insufficient for most backpacking trips where my partner and I would look to store no fewer than two sets of boots. I'm disappointed given that the boot bin is what set this apart from other options for me. That said, the bag seems consistent with Osprey's high quality standards, and I'm sure it will serve me well in other ways. If more fabric was added to the boot bin to let it expand further into the main compartment then this bag would likely be perfect.

Three weeks, seven trains

I've been a carry on only person for over 25 years but was going to Italy to do a serious week of cycling the highest roads in the Alps followed by time in Como, Milano and Firenze. Needed to bring a ton of cycling clothing and gear for all kinds of weather, dress up and casual wear for the cities. Aside from the bike, I was exclusively traveling by train or ferry. This bag did the job of getting through a ton of cobbled streets and kept my stuff well organized. The big wheels were the key selling point. My only hesitation for a bag like this are two issues, neither of which are deal breakers: the handle doesn't extend far enough to allow an Osprey back pack to be threaded through on top; secondly, it's almost too easy to overpack. Not a problem for baggage check, but on Trenitalia luggage racks it was occasionally a difficult fit. The good news is that the tension straps enable a minimalist checked bag approach that can cinch down very neatly. I'll be taking it back in May for more of the same.
