Osprey Porter 30

Top Pro

External compression is amazing

Top Con

Minimal support makes it uncomfortable to wear for long periods

The padding on both the shoulder straps and hip belt is quite light. Especially when heavy, the straps can dig into your shoulders and become uncomfortable. This isn't a pack you want to wear for long periods of walking. See More

Specs

Capacity:30L

Weight:2.49 lbs

Dimensions:21 x 15 x 11 in

Torso fit:?

Top Pro

Great option for travel

The Porter has a stowaway harness. You can quickly hide the harness away in a zippered pouch to protect it when stowed, or to keep them out of the way when navigating tight places. See More

Top Con

No internal compression straps

There are no straps in the main compartment to help secure your belongings, so they may shift while traveling. See More

Top Pro

Attachments for a daypack

Reinforced loops allow you to attach a daypack to the front of the Porter (designed specifically for the Daylite Pack). See More

Top Con

Only one external pocket to put frequently needed items

The only external pocket is the front panel organizational compartment for papers, tablets and a laptop. There are no pockets for food or anything else you may want quick access to. See More

Top Pro

Comfortable to carry by the grab handles

There are two well-padded grab handles, one at the top and the other at the side. See More

Osprey Farpoint 40

Top Pro

Extremely durable

Osprey is known for creating long-lasting, strong and well designed packs. See More

Top Con

Poorly placed laptop compartment

Because the laptop compartment is located at the front of the pack rather than against your back, it can make the bag feel heavier. The laptop compartment can also curve if you pack is full, which can cause the laptop screen to crack. See More

Specs

Capacity:S/M = 38L M/L = 40L

Weight:S/M = 3.11 lbs M/L = 3.17 lbs

Dimensions:S/M = 20 x 14 x 9 in M/L = 22 x 14 x 9 in

Top Pro

Available in two torso lengths

The pack is available in two torso lengths. Small/Medium, which is more suitable for shorter women, and Medium/Large. See More

Top Con

Limited number of pockets

There isn't much in the way of pockets for organization. There are small mesh pockets inside the main compartment, and one external pocket for papers and such. See More

Top Pro

Fits up to a 17" laptop

The separate laptop compartment fits up to a 17" laptop. See More

Osprey Exos 58

Top Pro

Extremely lightweight, yet full-features

The Exos is a favourite backpack among lightweight and ultralight hikers, for a very good reason. It offers you a well padded hipbelt, fantastic suspension system, durable build, and internal frame all at 2lbs 10 ounces for a Medium sized pack. Normally at that weight you'd be forced to give up more features. See More

Top Con

Few places to put your quick-access items

As a way to save weight, there is very few external pockets on the pack where you can put items you want to access quickly (money, electronics, snacks, etc.). There is a zip on the lid of the pack, and small pockets on the hipbelts. See More

Answer 5

Osprey Comet

Top Con

Waist strap offers very little support

It's only a fairly thin strap, so it doesn't offer much support/help redistribute the weight. See More

Waist strap can be removed

The waist strap is detachable, so you can quickly get it out of the way when you don't need it. See More

Specs

Capacity:30L

Weight:1.92 lbs

Dimensions:20 x 13 x 12 in

Torso fit:?

Top Con

Laptop sleeve doesn't protect your laptop
