Review: Totally worth it! - Great backpack. We had been using a cheaper one the last couple of years, but with getting older we decided to splurge on a nicer backpack. It hold a lot for school, and excellent for travel. It's comfortable for younger people and adults.
Review: great build quality, can fit 17" laptop - This is a great bag that is able to accommodate a 17 inch laptop while maintaining a sleek look. Other bags that do this are often bulky and have little to no style. The main pocket has enough room for two large text books and one small notebook. The front pocket has plenty of organization and goes all the way to the bottom and its own dimension so it has plenty of room. Front top pocket is good for sunglasses/pens/EDC. Buckles on the sides help sinch the bag down to help the bag look slimmer. Water bottle holders on both sides can comfortably fit up to a 40oz nalgene. Were this bag really shines over others is its straps and back. The back has a foam pad surrounded by mesh, the straps are filled with a similar foam. This foam makes carrying large loads easy. The material feels great and has held up well. Zippers are top quality and have convenient finger pulls; main zipper is nice and large. Osprey offers a great warranty. This is one of the few bags I consider to be near perfect; great for both daily use and travel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love Love As A College Student
*by I***I on October 15, 2025*

Just got this, so I can’t say much about long-term use yet, but I will say it’s already very convenient. Starting off, the little mesh pocket in the front is perfect for lab coats, goggles, or any small accessories. I’m currently using it to hold sunscreen, moisturizers, cleansing wipes, and a lens cleaner. The top pocket is great for keeping wires like chargers organized. The first main compartment is perfect for pencil bags, calculators, and any stationery items. The third compartment surprised me it has three separate padded pockets for electronics: one for a larger laptop, a slightly smaller one, and a third that’s perfect for an iPad. There’s also plenty of space for notebooks and small textbooks, which makes it ideal for college students. The overall quality is really nice. I love the sturdy material on the back panel it sits flat against your back, and the clips inside help keep everything in place so the backpack isn’t bouncing around while you’re walking. It’s also a lot cheaper than other backpacks I was looking at. However, I will say this may not be the best choice if you carry a lot of large, thick textbooks. If you’re like me and prefer using electronics like an iPad and only carry a few notebooks or smaller textbooks, it’s perfect. But if you need to carry multiple heavy textbooks, you might find the space a bit limiting.
