The pack is made of a durable material and is padded on all sides. The main compartment panel opens wide for easy packing and accessibility and the front organization panel has pockets for both laptop and tablet. Combined with lockable zippers and stowable straps, I recommend this pack to any traveler. Full zip panel for main compartment access Made of durable materials and is padded on all sides Organization panel for laptop and table storage Stowable shoulder traps and hipbelp No side pocket for water bottle Laptop/Table sleeve: The front organization pocket zips open to reveal multiple pockets, a padded laptop sleeve and a zippered tablet pocket. The pocket is in the center of the pack which keeps the contents off the ground when the pack is set down.

The pack can fit a 15” laptop though it's a tight squeeze for my 15" workstation laptop. Another option for laptop storage is the large zippered compartment on the back of the pack which is meant for tucking away the shoulder straps. It runs the length of the backpanel and does fit my workstation laptop. Stowable shoulder straps: The shoulder straps are padded and can tucked into a zippered panel. There's a clip on the load lifter and clip on the hipbelt that need to be undone before the shoulder strap can be stowed. Front pocket: tThere is a front zippered pocket that’s great for a book, map, or tablet. Lockable zippers: Both the main compartment and front panel compartment zippers can be locked. Zippered top accessory pocket: The top pocket has a key clip and is handy for small items and toiletries when going through airport security. Internal zippered pockets: There's one mesh zippered pocket and one fabric zippered pocket on the walls of the pack for additional organization.

I really like the duffel bag style. It makes it so easy to access anything in the pack without having to pull everything out because you need something in the bottom. Because you can cinch it down it doesn't matter if you are carrying a little or a lot and the pack adjusts beautifully holding all of your gear just the way you packed it. I know in descriptions this bag claims that for more casual day to day use you can purchase a shoulder strap and use it messenger bag style, but it's really awkward to use it that way. If you are too cool for shoulder straps I guess it's a good option. This pack also has a large top pocket for items you might need to grab quickly and plenty of loops to attach things to the outside. The only reason I'm giving this pack 4.5 and not a full 5 stars is because there is nowhere to attach a water bottle. I get by figuring out some way to attach it, but you have to be a little clever. I know they probably wanted to keep the design really sleek and simple (which is what I love about it) but they may have gone a hair too far in not adding something to stick a water bottle to.

Below are some steps for how to get your torso length. You should probably have someone help take this measurement for you so it is accurate. And they might accidentally touch your butt. HOW TO MEASURE TORSO LENGTH: • Start at the iliac crest, which is the top of the hipbones on the side of your body. These act like a shelf for supporting a pack hipbelt.

• From this level on your spine, measure to the C7 vertebrae, the knobby bone at the base of your neck when you put your head down. • Make sure you keep your back as straight as possible while measuring. • This torso measurement determines what size Osprey pack you should carry. Refer to the size charts above to find your ideal size. • If you are in between sizes, it is ideal to try them both on before ordering. HOW TO MEASURE HIPBELT SIZE: • Measure around your hips at your iliac crest, NOT your waist. • A properly fitted hipbelt rides centered over the hipbones and needs to be very snug. • The padded portion should wrap well around your hips, leaving a gap of 3 to 6 inches between the tips of the both hip pads when securely tightened. • Refer to the Hipbelts size chart above to help determine your ideal Osprey pack size, but again, your torso length is what should determine your pack size, NOT the hipbelt.
