Comments about Osprey Veer Vertical Shoulder Bag:

I am not a man (I noticed the other 2 reviews mentioned it as a manly product)but chose this product for my everyday bag. One of the reasons I choose it was because it is made mostly of recycled materials. Lot of organizational pockets etc. I know exactly where everything is and I don't have to search at the bottom of a purse. I wanted something to go over my head and ride on the hip for security purposes. No purse snatching or pickpocketing on this bag. Every opening has a zipper and is secure. I really like it and have had lots of positive comments from both women and men wanting to know where I got it. It also has a waist strap tucked in the back pocket to use to secure the bag to the body if needed. The only con so far is that the mesh back on the bag seems to be getting snags on it. I would give it a perfect rating if it wasn't for the snag factor. But that is only visible to me. Wish it came in other colors than black and gray.

Comments about Osprey Veer Vertical Shoulder Bag:

I am 6'8" tall and the strap is long enough for me. This is an excellent bag, numerous pockets. My only gripe is that the pocket on the outside of the flap is a little bit hard to get a hand into. I have small hands as well. I am able to stuff a rain jacket inside, so that is a plus. Overall a wonderful bag. And yes, it is manly in size and looks.

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Osprey Veer Vertical Shoulder Bag:

Finally, someone (Osprey in this case) has recognized that items of incidental need on day-to-day basis are too many to fit comfortably into pockets. For instance; wrap around sun glasses, reading glasses, billfold, Swiss Army utility knife, coin purse, pens & note pad, copy of Constitution, etc., etc.

This bag is big enough yet comfortable in all respects.

Nontraditional Diaper Bag!

Comments about Osprey Veer Vertical Shoulder Bag:

I was looking for a diaper bag that didn't scream "baby" and would keep all the necessities organized and tidy. This bag can stash the diapers, jacket, wallet, water bottle, changing mat and more no problem. I also wanted a bag that I could strap across my back securely while wearing my baby. The waist strap enables the perfect three point harness. When I need to access my wallet, I just have to unbuckle the waist strap and swing the bag to my side without having to take it off or disturb my little one. I also love that it's structured enough to not collapse if I need to squash it in a stroller or tight space. Great value!

Best Uses

Airline
Birding

Comments about Osprey Veer Vertical Shoulder Bag:

I would first clarify by saying this is perfect for an airline carry-on IF you do not have a laptop. But when I travel without the laptop, this is one of the more comfortable satchels available.

I use this bag almost exclusively when I go birding. It is perfect for the binocular, field guide, notebook, (small) water bottle, and all the other little odds and ends I carry. I even put my wallet, passport, keys, etc. in it. I try to avoid anything in my pockets when I am out walking/hiking.

That being said, the pockets are mostly a pain to access. I am always squeezing my hand into an awkward position just to get something out. Even the front flap does not fold completely out of the way, meaning I have to hold it away from the bag with one hand while getting items with my other hand.

Overall, I would say this is a great design. I would strongly urge Osprey to improve the openings to the pockets.

Comments about Osprey Veer Vertical Shoulder Bag:

I rate this bag a 9.5 out of 10 which is about as highly as I'd ever rate a bag, and I've had many. The Veer is close to perfect. My only complaints, and they are minor: 1) I would like an interior zippered pocket inside the large one, 2) I would detach the cell phone holder on the strap if I could (I have to really cram my HTC Incredible to get it to fit) and 3) The zippers can be difficult to open and close because of the rain guards. Honestly though, I'd rather have a bag that stayed dry. This seems like it was built more for a man's straight-up-and-down body, but it fits well and the strap length is adjustable enough. I love a bag with a water bottle holder. I am a sysadmin so I carry around a lot of gadgetry for work. One of my favorite parts of this bag is that it lays flat against your body when mostly empty, but easily expands if you really want to test its capacity. I only use my purse now for weddings and funerals. Highly recommend this bag.

Comments about Osprey Veer Vertical Shoulder Bag:

Although I used this all around, I brought it and its main usage remains, for my airline travels. This bag proves to be a perfect size for the extra carry on. So I used this plus my large daypack to hop on the plane. This bag fits my PSP, headphones, food, drinks and even couple of magazines but yet takes up so little space under the seat ahead of you. While its an useful bag all around, for air travel, its fantastic!
