Osprey  Comet 30 Pack

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.

So I've had this gray and black comet for over 2 and a half years, carrying my laptop, a bunch of charging cables, my lunch box, and a ton of other stuff I cram in there back and forth to work. I also empty it out and use it as a personal bag when flying from time to time. This thing is built so well, the zippers are indestructible. I often pull the bag open more by just pulling apart the sides, instead of properly using the zipper. The handles and straps are all extremely durable as well. I hang the bag on a hook by the top handle when at home. When I pick it up off the car seat or the floor I use the handle on the front- a feature I didn't even think would be useful, but I would miss it so much if I didn't have it. All in all- this is an amazingly well built bag, that perfectly fits my commute needs.

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.
