Front heavy & lacks
The front compartment pockets make the backpack front-heavy, making it awkward to insert items into the main compartment. The zippers don't glide smoothly and often get stuck, which detracts from a premium feel. Additionally, it lacks dedicated storage for a pen and a laptop compartment. The phone pocket is also located at the front, adding weight to the front and hindering access to the main compartment. The narrow design, combined with the heavy front compartment, makes packing shoes a less pleasant experience. If you enjoyed using the Osprey Momentum 30 and found it to be a great bag, this 30-litre cycling backpack may not meet your expectations.
I received this backpack as
I received this backpack as a warrantee replacement for my old Escapist 30 which served me very well for a dozen years. Thank you Osprey! Overall, I am very happy with this backpack and would buy it new. However, the design of this model is not as good as the old one for two reasons. 1. There is a small pocket on the bottom of the pack, below the main compartments. On the old model this small pocket was completely sealed off from the main compartment by a zipper, which could be unzipped to make one large pocket. On the new model, the small, lower pocket is only partially separate from the main pocket by a piece of fabric. Items could slip from the main pocket to the lower pocket. An obvious flaw. 2. The old model had a small pocket at the top, right near the hand carry strap. Perfect for car keys, etc. This pocket is gone, and replaced with a side entry pocket lower down. Not at all obvious to me why this is better than the old design. On the positive side, this pack is roomy, well made, looks to be very sturdy, and looks good.
I like to use the
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like to use the hydration bladder holder as a laptop carrier. It is almost too narrow for that. My old Escapist 25 was plenty wide to do that. The side pouch used to be a top pouch. Gravity says everything will go to the bottom anyway, so this geometry is less useful. The divider holders are not robust enough for a heavy load on top. The old zipper was a better idea. Waist pockets with horizontal zippers are better than the old curved zippers. So I really don’t think the new design is better, but I was wearing out material in my old pack.
Not quite as good as the previous model.
I had the previous 32 version for 8 years and now have the current 30 version. Overall I like it, but the new one doesn't have a small top pocket (which was great), missing side pockets and the divider inside is flimsy as the old one had a zip.
Not what I thought, for my requirements
An OK backpack, but doesn't meet the needs of what I wanted form it. The lack of suitable compartments, does make this awkward form my perspective. Its well made and sturdy, but this is not for me.
Have used an older version
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have used an older version for years and just replaced with a new one and its even better. Fits great and holds a lot.
