Osprey  Transporter Expandable Travel Pack 26+6

I've only used it for a weekend trip, but I appreciated the quality of the pack and the ease of organization. I also tried the Daylight 26 +6 but found it not rigid enough, which made packing more difficult. I do wish this one had loops that I could put a shock cord on in order to easily attach a jacket. And I would have liked a hipbelt that could be tucked away. I will be utilizing it for 3 longer trips over the next few months and will put it to the test! Love the material- it seems sturdy and water proof. And I love the idea of being able to expand it.

What I like the most about this bag is the way is opens all the way, which is convenient so that I can lay it flat to pack. I can see everything I am packing, and using the Packing Cubes helps organize the pack even better. I find that Transporter Expandable Travel Pack 26+6 is small enough to be compact and carry able using either of the convenient and sturdy handles provided as a luggage. On my back it is comfortable to wear, with nothing poking through due to the Airscape feature. It is especially comfortable with good weight distribution because of the sternum strap. I appreciate the straps for carabiners, water resistant fabric, and hidden pockets for stashing little and important items. Moving through doorways with this bag on my back, I sometimes forget how wide I am and hit the door frame (especially when the bag is in the expanded state), but the bag is tough. Overall, a very convenient, comfortable bag for travel and overnight use, good for airport transit but also camping.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The removal of the small zippered opening to the front pocket was a great improvement over the predecessor Daylight version. The semi-circular opening greatly improves access to the front pocket. The dedicated laptop section is an improvement. Evening out the bag by enabling the main body lid to hold more is a plus. I prefer the extended yoke in the shoulder straps, being fairly thick in the chest from a life of PT. The enlarged bottle sleeve is appreciated, however my OCD needs one on the opposite side to balance it out/look uniform.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Zorbaxians probed my bag before probing me. Their verdict? "Earthlings have achieved perfection. " The expandable compartment held three galaxies worth of gear. Even their mothership lacked this organization. They returned me but kept the bag. Five stars — worth an abduction 👽

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great, lightweight, well-made pack for travel. The compartments are well thought-out. The pack holds a lot more than I thought it would!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect size for companion to Transporter wheeled 40. Use this for cpap, other electronic devices and toiletries.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was absolutely amazed at how much I could pack into this small backpack. It’s all you need for a weekend trip.
