Comments about Osprey Porter 65 Travel Pack:

This is a great bag--simple, but very well built. You can use it as a backpack, but it's no backpack, and there are many other bags that are better for carrying long distances on your back. In a pinch it will work as a temporary method, and if fully loaded this is probably its most practical way of hauling. But it's far from comfortable for long periods. Also, it's no carry-on, but I'm assuming you know that already. But as a large, do everything and carry most anything, with multiple carrying options, it is awesome. I took it on trips to SE Asia and Europe as well as many shorter vacation trips, and am always happy with this thing. I can stuff it with clothes and other travel gear, along with my laptop (in its own separate case) and I only have to deal with one bag. It CAN get heavy, and if this is a concern I would look for a bag with wheels. But the main criticism I have with the Porter 65 is that it has no duffle carrying straps, or possibilities.

It's a little hard to explain, but you'll once you use it you'll see that it excels as a big, hold-all duffle that you can strap to your back. Once you reach your destination, you can unzip the back panel and basically live/work out of the spacious compartment. But moving the thing around in this position is problematic. If Osprey would add a simple open duffle set of carrying handles it would be awesome. I can't recall all the times I've opened the bag up and then had to move it elsewhere. The included handles are great if the bag is fully zipped, but not if in "mid process." Sounds like a little thing, but once you use it a bit, you'll see what I mean.

Still, it's a fine bag and close to perfect for its intended use.

Comments about Osprey Porter 65 Travel Pack:

This bag is great for what it is. It's not great for hiking, but i used it for a study abroad class in Costa Rica and then a backpacking trip afterwords around
Central America. It was great because i could fit a lot in it on the way down there and back , but when i left some of my stuff in the hostel for my travels it could be easily compressed. I Like how it could be easily opened like s suitcase so I could find things easily, when used with packing cubes. This is one well made bag, and was easily secured with luggage locks and cable cords. After three months it still looks almost new. A good travel bag, but not great for carrying heavy loads.

Comments about Osprey Porter 65 Travel Pack:

I purchased this bag almost 3 years ago in preparation for a European summer trip (9 weeks long). We also had a couple other "carry-on" sized backpacks. In a nutshell, family members fight over who gets this bag. It fits an adequate amount of clothing and gear needed for an extended trip through Europe - or wherever, the sides of this bag are rigid so the bag always holds a nice shape. One of our others is too loose and looks/feels sloppy unless it is completely filled. It is accepted easily as a carry-on by airlines, so we never were forced to check in this bag. My teens use this on long weekend, school excursions. We are moving to Europe in a couple of months and we definitely pick up a couple more of these bags before we leave. I have never been so satisfied with a purchase. It fit our needs perfectly.

Comments about Osprey Porter 65 Travel Pack:

I actually have two of these packs. One in red, which I got for myself, which I fell in love with, and one in black for my brother. We're actually planning a two month long travel across Europe next year and I wanted something, not too bulky when sitting on my back, but still has a lot of space. Completely happy with this pack. The picture on the site shows it with a day pack attached to it. The two I purchased have extra straps to attach a day pack to it, but mine didn't come with it. I love it and can't wait to use it. I'll have to send in a new review after I've used it. Can't wait to take them abroad. Thanks REI.

Comments about Osprey Porter 65 Travel Pack:

After buying the 46, i bought this with a 20 dollar off coupon for longer term travel. I've used it twice, and the added shoulder straps help for the taller pack. Sometimes I wish the 46 had them also.
