Not durable - will "de-laminate"
8 years ago
At first glance a great pack, but be warned, I used this pack since 2012 (and that means moderate use) and now it started to "de-laminate" (quote from Ospreys customer (i_would_not_call_it) service). This makes the pack filthy and unusable. A pack you can trash after 4 years use is not a durable product in my opinion. If you care for the environment and don't want a throw-away pack, then don't buy this! I had packs I used and still use for more than 10yrs all over the world that show no sign of the dissolving material that the Osprey Escapist shows.

Outstanding backpack for cycling and for hiking
9 years ago
I bought this pack only a week ago and have taken with me pretty much everywhere since. It is extremely lightweight, extremely comfortable, and easily organized with just the right amount of space. While, yes, there is no sleeve for a laptop it is still quite protective. I have a macbook air and it travels superbly in it along with cords. It holds a U lock, helmet, and whatever else you need. Collapses for a low profile feel when mostly empty and expands when needing a lot of space. 3L reservoir fits in the sleeve outside of the pockets, little strap pockets are great for easily accessible items and the straps both chest and waist make for unmatched stability and comfort while bike commuting. I love this backpack,can't say enough good things about it.

Great for Bikepacking
8 years ago
This pack is just big enough to carry about 1/3 of my gear for a multiple day BikePacking trip. It has multiple well thought out compartments to divide gear on categories. The hydration system on Osprey packs is very easy to use and we'll thought out. The back pad is Fantastic on all Osprey packs are fantastic, this is the reason I bought my first of many. The compartment on the shoulder strap is too small for most phones, and the waist strap compartments are not very accessible while riding. These need improvement.

Not durable - bag will 'delaminate'
8 years ago
My pack lasted 4 years, then it started to 'delaminate'. This makes the pack near unusabIe, because everything that comes into contact with this peeled off lamination will be soiled. A pack that last this long (and mine has never seen any heavy use) is the opposite of true environmental sustainability. I definitively do not recommend this bag.

Good for day hikes and light weekender hikes
7 years ago
I got this pack as a Christmas gift and have given it moderate usage since then. I've done at least one day hike a week and a few weekend hikes with the pack. It packs easily for these light loads. The only complaint I would have is that it can be difficult to adjust at first, granted this was my first serious hiking pack so I guess there is a learning curve. After a little bit of time fidgeting with it I was able to find how it best adjusted to my fit and it has been quite comfortable ever since. If you're going to be doing light hikes definitely look into this pack

Great pack
7 years ago
I owned my first ospery escapist for 5 years and wore it nearly everyday as I carried my laptop in it to work and hiked and shopped with it on weekends. Incredibly durable and the most comfortable packpack that I have ever had. I just exchanged it as there was a slight tearing near the top at the handle and near the bottom, this due to the heavy loads. I did not use it for mountain-biking but was glad to have a place to hang my helmet as I commuted by bike.

Great Pack for Travel and Day Hiking
9 years ago
I bought this pack for day hiking in the white mountains. Plenty of organization, and enough space for carrying around whatever I need to go out on a day of hiking, traveling, etc. Very high quality and durability. One feature I especially like is the divided main compartment with a removable divider. It's great for storing wet or dirty clothes, or whatever you want quick access to.

Finally...the (almost) perfect pack !
7 years ago
This is my first Osprey pack, after trying other well known brands. Like many of you reading this, I am always looking for just the right pack. After purchasing the Osprey Escapist 25, I feel like my searching is over. This is such a well designed pack, with many features not found on other highly touted bags. For instance, I love the divided main compartment, which gives the pack a smaller feel, when not heavily loaded. My previous pack was the same size, and from a very competent company, but when it was not fully loaded, everything piled up way down in the bottom of the pack. With the divided compartment on the Escapist, things are closer to the top of the bag, making it actually feel smaller. I also like the fact that the side mesh pockets (typically used for bottles, etc.) have straps to cinch them down, holding the contents in place. The included rain cover is nice, and the pockets are plentiful. Add to that the comfort, light weight, and versatility, and this seems like the perfect pack for most any situation, except for long, extended hiking and camping trips which require much more space. Thank you Osprey, for a well thought out, highly functional product.
