I spent 6 months ordering, trying, and returning backpacks for work and travel. As an educator, I use my backpack daily and need it to have all the right pockets in all the right places. This is my 4th Osprey bag so I don't know why I didn't start with Osprey from the beginning. This bag has all the high-quality features that I have come to love about Osprey. This bag fits under the airplane seat on multiple airlines. The outside water bottle pockets easily hold my 32 oz, water bottle with plenty of stretch left. I would purchase this bag again and again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved my older Comet 28L backpack. I wore it out and sent it in for repairs. Sadly they could not make a functional repair, but they replaced it with the newer 30L. It performs equally well so far. There are some improvements too! For example, the zippers are sturdier, the top handle placement is excellent, and the minimal pockets and straps on the exterior of the pack makes it less likely to get snagged on things (great for a clumsy person like me). Love it so far. Osprey makes the best backpacks and stands by the AMG.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was thrilled to have my old, squirrel-chewed Celeste daypack replaced several years after I bought it! The Comet is well-designed, but I did prefer the way the Celeste was organized with more pockets, etc. Also, the only color that worked for me, given my other pieces was black, while my Celeste was an easy-to-spot seafoam green. This feels like looking a gift horse in the mouth, however. Very happy with Osprey!
I travel often and like backpacks. I'm a bit picky b/c I want the right amount of pockets without too much weight. This bag fits all of my needs. The tan/brown also looks great and gives a break from the black. If I were to pick one thing to change, it would be a lower front pocket. If I do not have my laptop in my bag, it tends to fall over easily due to being top heavy.
Nice backpack with a separate laptop compartment, but I have to return it as it is too large for anyone under 6ft and as a personal item for flights. Could be better if it is ~25L.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the attention to detail in the new Comet 30 design and many new features of this backpack. Versatile and functional. Perfect for commuting, hiking, traveling for business.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best day pack/work backpack there is. Had my last one for 10 years and it was replaced via the AMG policy and the new model is fantastic. I’m a customer for life.
