Hello. I want to upgrade my current Incase backpack to an Osprey Nebula before the start of my residency program. I have a 15.1" gaming laptop and a surface pro 8 laptop for note taking, along with other miscellaneous items I carry around with me. I know that the Nebula has a built-in laptop sleeve, but I prefer using my tomtoc laptop sleeve for the 15in laptop for the extra protection and don't mind using the built-in sleeve for my surface pro 8 since I use a heavy-duty case on the laptop itself already.

For those who own the backpack or has a similar set up, will a separate laptop sleeve fit within the main compartment of the Nebula backpack?

Thank you guys.

I have Osprey farpoint 36 wheeled, it’s a good bag but it has a single pole design which makes challenging for me to add another personal item bag on top of it. I was thinking of exchanging this to Osprey sojourn 45 wheeled or Osprey daylite 40 wheeled duffel,

but both of these bags are above carry on size limitations! Plus sojourn is about 3.4kgs!

Do you have any better alternatives for a carry on roller which has backpack straps ? Though these straps would be used occasionally but still it’s an important feature ! The other bags I could think of. - stubble and co 40 wheeled duffel or topo design roller carry on.

Should I just continue with farpoint 36 and add J strap hook ? Please don’t suggest me to not use roller because it’s a need and not a luxury

So I want to replace my current backpack (miltec assault pack L). I use it to travel for up to a week, train BJJ and climbing as well as daily commutes to work that equal about 24k daily and weekend bike trips usualy 80k to a 100k. On top of that I also hike on the days that I don't do the bike trip. I had no intention of replacing my assault pack until I started biking now my back is sweaty and it gets annoying especially since I get to work with my back soaked. I am really confterable with the 34 L so I would ideally want a backpack in that 30-40 L range. I wanted some recommendations, currently my choices are talon 33 or the stratos 36 but I'm open to other backpack suggestions that aren't osprey or other osprey packs.

Anybody have a 15% discount code?

I purchased a L/XL Osprey Atmos AG 65 from REI after getting sized. I’ve been resizing the length and working to get the hip belt right across my hips. The issue I have is my measurement is right in between the L/XL and S/M sizing at 19.3” I have my bag, the L/XL right now sized to the smallest length. It’s good but wondering to I switch to the smaller bag?

Has anyone else had this and did you go larger or smaller on the sizing?

Hi all, I’m looking to add a new pack to my collection. I have some weekend hiking trips and longer day hikes coming up (hut to hut style, not camping) and can’t decide which pack would be best for me.

Anyone have either of these packs and able to provide some advice?

Hikelite: back panel for breathability, internal storage but the frame is rigid so not good for plane travel

Velocity: love the running vest style pockets, good mesh stash pockets, flexible frame. But $100 more in my country and less internal storage/less small zipper pockets.

Can I get your thoughts if you are a recreational traveler on whether you’d purchase an Osprey Farpoint, Fairview , or Archeon (maybe 40L) for an overseas trip?

I plan to see Spain by traveling to 5 cities and staying 2-3 nights in each with train travel in between. Which one would you recommend for ease of packing clothes, toiletries, shoes and a tablet? I’m still getting use to packing light and rewashing clothes.

I kind of like the sling/pouch/hip bag modular concept of the Archeon for day trips.

I’m stuck between the Nebula 32, Flare 27, Quasar 26, Axis 24, and Metron 24 (edit: also the Arcane series) for a daily commuter. I mostly walk or take transit, but I’m on my bike a few times a week. I already have a Daylite 26+6 for travel, so I’m looking for a dedicated EDC that offers better structure and organization than the Daylite.

If you own any of these, especially if you also have a Daylite, how do you differentiate their use? Does the Nebula feel like overkill for a daily, or is the Metron the only one actually worth it for a part-time cyclist? I'd love to hear how they handle a EDC loadout and if you find any of them redundant next to the 26+6.

Bought the bag recently, love it for hiking, but wondering if I’ll be able to take to Italy with Ryanair.

They say the dimensions have to be 40x30x20cm, but can I fit the bag?

It is compressible, but it also has a metal plate - can that be removed?
