Great all around bag for school/travel/EDC
I was pleasantly surprised by this bag! I really wanted a bag that could stand up on its own when filled, and this bag does that. I even filled it with my super heavy textbooks and it stood its ground with the stand-up frame. It is a little taller than textbooks though FYI, so you could fit more stuff on top. Hope that helps conceptualize the height/size of this bag. As for fit, it is a one-size-fits-all, and technically it does fit. For reference, I’m 5’5 and I have a short back with a prominent rear-end, so I generally have issues trying to find bags that fit my short backside. This does the job for sure, but it sits a bit high on me. I wouldn’t take it multi-day backpacking, but it will be a great travel bag/school bag, comfortable enough for trudging about on campus and through airports as a carry-on. I really like that there are multiple pockets, and the side-pockets for water bottles is big enough to fit the tall 40-oz Hydro flask bottles. The material of the backpack is a nice honey-comb-ish textured black, not just plain black which is nice. The material feels strong, and dust/hair repellant. The mesh frame as usual is well designed for keeping the pack off your back. They redesigned the sun glass pocket on top, so now instead of that waffley nylon it’s kind of a woven micro-fiber. I’m not sure if this will just attract more dust or dirt, but it’s not a dealbreaker for me. If you need a strong sturdy bag that will fit your laptop and tablet and a few heavy textbooks while standing up on its own, then this is your bag.
Best EDC I've ever had. (Saying a lot)
Best pack I've ever had. Do not understand why not 4.9 stars. Kickstand rocks, so light. Plenty of space. Best yet, synch straps pull contents tight so I can bike confidently without weight shift. The air spring-whatever- backing is actually super nice. Ventilation and support. Works better than imagined. Laptop compartment is spacious for my 17" laptop. Plus iPad. Plus phone. Protects so well (due to frame?) I don't even flinch if bag falls off table, or if I (infrequently) lay the bike down. I'm observing wear on the bottom contact points of frame. Obviously, fabric frays eventually. I'm not concerned. Easy diy fix- or use ospreys life guarantee for repairs. Been using this thing hard for a couple years now. Darn near good as new, seriously. Zippers Rock. Down to the plastic buckles you use to pull straps tight. So well designed. I can feel it, feels right. Even the whistle on the chest strap blows away competition. Literally only gripe is size of mesh pockets in "pen storage area". And didn't even realize that could be an upgrade until started looking at more recent models. It's paper light. So sturdy. Fabric rocks. User design is beyond par. Incredibly happy with this purchase, years down the line of heavy use. Haven't created a failure yet. Nor frankly do I expect to. Highlight I find missing in current iterations is lack of synch straps. This has it. Enables me to roll up to class with all of my study resources - then stop by the food bank on the way home and load up completely. And bike home like a menace with load tightly held to my torso. Sincerely hope to have it for life. And I just may. Osprey well exceeded the hype. Two years later I'm compelled to write this review. My first osprey. Earned a life time customer. All packs are not created equal though; ensure it fits your intended use. Mad props to the creators. I'm a pretty critical and fastiduous guy. Seriously, They done did this right. I'm appreciative.
Osprey Fan
I finally converted my opsprey talon pack into a fulltime hiking pack and needed a new 'everyday' pack for walking to work / generally around the city. After much research chose the Tropos and I love this bag so far! The kickstand... it SO nice! Having your backpack able to stand without having to worry about hearing it slide and fall randomly later is amazing. I will note my only two complaints which are 1. I wish the belt strap was bigger, thicker, and had some side pockets like the talon. 2. the compression straps do get in the way of the main zip, so you either have to release them or work the zip under them which is annoying. Aside that I am loving this pack and the extra space is really nice!
Really nice bag for business travel
Really like this bag. Bought it to replace a 20 year old Northface day pack that I've used extensively for work travel. It took some time to get used to the straps on the front and the pocket configuration, but it's sleek, fits a large amount of stuff, fits nicely under seats on planes and is holding up really well. Holds a 17"laptop, 15" travel monitor, notebook, backup battery, and a full change of clothes.
When it doesn't have much
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When it doesn't have much stuff in it, the front part kinda starts folding in two. I usually carry my laptop charger in the middle section and it constantly bumps into the kickstand part making "bumping" sounds of it doesn't have anything else on top of it to fix it in place. If you have notebooks at the very front section, they upper part will "lean" out, forming a belly like bulgy shape on the front. I would love to have an option to hide/remove hip fixors and the ones on the front when I am not hiking. Otherwise, it is just great. I enjoyed hiking with it very much
Dont trust the description
I already buy 2 times from the website, and all of it must be refund because my 17"" laptop do not fit at your nebula 32 and tropos 32, why the heck the desc on tropos said its fit for 17"" and then when the bag come the tag was only said fit for 16""?
Perfect pack for work/school
I purchased this as a replacement for my work backpack (and for traveling for work, often internationally). This pack works perfectly for me carrying 2 15"" monitors and a spare screen, as well as storage for all the cables, cords, etc in the front pocket. In the middle pocket, I'm able to put a couple of Yeti ramblers and a few changes or workout clothes (shorts, socks, tops). The suspended back is super convenient and the fact that this pack can stand up on it's own when placed on the ground is another great benefit. I highly recommend this pack.
I've enjoyed using this pack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've enjoyed using this pack for work mostly and travel. With minimalistic needs it can supply me with about a week's worth of clothing. In a pinch it is also a great way to have a day pack when I'd left mine behind on a trip. The lack of organization was a concern, but overall hasn't been that big of a deal and it does simplify the overall access to items within it. One thing that can be a bit of a slight annoyance is when overstuffing the main compartment it can limit the ease of access to the front organization area and laptop storage.
no words strong enough to say how bad this bag is…
I’d rate this less than one if I could. purchased and returned. I’ve had the Tropos 34 for a number of years. I travel 6months/year or more and it’s been to every continent with me. it’s well worn and served me well all over the world. I discovered osprey doesn’t make the 34 anymore so I purchased the 32. What a HUGE mistake. They removed so many numerous features from the 34 it’s too numerous to list. And the design of the exterior that secures through the straps through bag itself it so very poor. Whomever designed this bag doesn’t travel. And whomever signed of on this deign should be reduced to janitor. This bag is useless compared to the 34. If your first purchase is the 32 then maybe your happy with it because you don’t know what was removed and redesigned. But if you have the 34 then this bag is a sad disappointment.
Best Campus Bag
The perfect bag for campus or work. This is the best backpack I have used. It has the very nice net on the back to prevent sweat buildup. The size is amazing. It seemed a little too large; however, I can fit all of my workday essentials in it as well as a change of clothes for the gym or my lunchbox. Two bottle pockets are a welcome upgrade compared to my old Gregory Rhune bag. The admin pocket it very nice and spacious. It allows a significant volume for sequestering more fragile items such as a paperback book. The mesh shove-it pocket on the front of the bag is an excellent feature. It can also fit my 6L lunchbox, and I think it could fit a bike or climbing helmet as well. There are three sleeves in the compartment closest to the back: the whole thing is padded. One is used for a laptop or bladder. The other two for documents or a tablet. It fits my iPad air and folders easily. It has a spacious main compartment. There is a small valuables pocket in the front of the bag that could hold your phone and sunglasses. The bag has a hip belt with these small pads on the sides. I feared these would be umcomfortable for my large hips, but they are actually very comfortable and securing. The load lifters are nice as well.
