This is the Osprey Porter 46, it's the largest Porter pack that still remains carry-on compliant for domestic travel. It's perfect for travellers who ...

Finally, the back panel seems to be regular, nylon fabric, so it provides little airflow, and means that you'll end-up with a sweaty back fairly quickly. If you don't plan to carry this bag for long periods of time, I think it would probably be adequate; the organization options and the foam side "wings" allow for very easy packing and unpacking. But, if you value comfort of carry more, as I do, this probably isn't the bag for you. In that case, you might want to look at the Farpoint 40

Um, these straps are nice and padded. here. You have load lifter straps, which are very important if you don't know what these are. And maybe you're t...

and now this thing is small enough that we can compress it down, get it below that 9-inch limit to fit as a carry-on So instead of having to use those...

Generally, we like the improvements we've seen on the 42 liter version, compared to the 35 liter version, like the adjustable hip belt and the improve...

Osprey will replace the bag for me for free, but I'm wondering if I'd be better suited with a Farpoint 40 or similar. I've used the Porter 46 quite a bit but only truly onebagged with it once, for a 3 week trip to Japan. It was very spacious (I bought a ton of souvenirs and also I overpacked for the trip since it was my first onebag trip) but I found it too massive, unwieldy, and uncomfortable to carry it full-time.

That can definitely keep you strapped while we're still on the back side of the bag. There's two zippers on each side in the back. This one gives you ...

I Have a copy of my passport and you know, a bag of crushed up tums. I Feel like they could have been more creative with that, but whatever. So this b...

). My purpose: a couple days of work travel. My criteria: work stuff and packed clothes and such to be separate, so I can walk off my flight, into my client site, and not worry about showing all my clothes to everyone while I take out my laptop, without having to carry to bags. This bag accomplishes this amazingly well with a laptop pocket at the back, and two front pockets that accommodate your 'work bag' stuff

Used this pack to carry everything I needed for hiking in Nevada. Perfect size for all of the things I wanted to bring. Got complements for the beautiful colors too!!

The weight stayed on my shoulders (unless I tightened the sternum strap enough to transfer some of it there), making it pretty uncomfortable after about five minutes of wear. I packed it with about 15 pounds of stuff. So, pretty disappointing. I bought an Osprey Fairview 40 for comparison - it’s smaller than I want and doesn’t have the same nifty design/organization like the Porter does, but it has more of a traditional Osprey hiking pack-style harness/belt system that is much more comfortable to carry when fully packed

that's a laptop zipper. I'm gonna unzip it and I'll show you the inside. There it is. So there's a little laptop compartment right here you can put yo...

It was very difficult to free up the zippers and frustrating. I did manage to get them free, but only with help..osprey needs to correct this
