There was a lot of water beaded on top, which looked promising, but when I opened up the bag, only 1 pocket remained completely dry, the one where her phone goes. Helmet attachment: On the sides of the front face are two loops that could be used as a helmet attachment. We’ve had this bag on our backs for hours at a time while hiking, and while some back sweat is inevitable, the mesh and suspension have been doing a fantastic job of keeping us cool and comfortable. Zero-G Suspension: While not exactly like their anti-gravity line of backpacks, the Tropos has straps that allow you to add tension to the shoulder straps, making the load feel lighter. I tend to be fairly tough on my items and I’ve found this to stand up to my heavy use with no sign of wear at this time.

The AirSpeed back panel is an absolute game-changer, it allows maximum airflow and we encountered no cases of the dreaded swamp back, even after our longest hikes. The dark shade helps keep a larger daypack like this one as low-profile as possible, so it’s not drawing an excess of attention. The Nebula’s sleeve has leverage over the Tropos, though, making the bag more suitable for airport trips. The only time my bottle has fallen out of this pocket is when my backpack fell off a chair and flipped over before it hit the ground. Like most standard backpacks, there’s a handle at the top you can use to grab and move the bag as needed.It’s so refreshing in these times of “reviews” that are written by people who just googled the specs of the products instead of actually using them. And just to be clear, my daughter is not a male, but the backpacks for guys are a bit larger than the equivalent ones for gals, and my daughter wanted that extra space.

The bag also features AriSpeed, a cooling technology that keeps the bag ventilated in the hot weather. Keeping you comfortable is Osprey's well designed and widely used trampoline suspended mesh backsystem which pushes the weight away from your back, keeping a large space between your pack and the pack for unrivalled airflow. It works as an outdoorsy accent but is subtle enough that it’s not detracting from the pack’s serious, streamlined look. Even fully packed out this bag is comfortable to carry over long distances thanks to the stiff structure and solid harness system. All of the packs in both the men’s’ and women’s’ line include a slash pocket for sunglasses, side-stretch mesh pockets which can hold a water bottle, a front-panel pocket with many slots for pens and larger items, a blinker light attachment for those of us who commute on a bike, and padded sleeves for your laptop and tablet.It’s also equipped with an AirSpeed™ ventilation system that creates some space between your back and the actual back panel to increase airflow. Featuring a scratch– free front pocket for your sunglasses or phone, side water bottle pockets, internal organisation and a dedicated laptop/tablet sleeve giving you quick access to all your essentials. My daughter chose Kraken Blue for her color; it’s a nice slate blue kind of color, and I really like it. To make this steady, it’s helpful to have a few heavy items in the bag, such as books, and to the have bottom compression strap opened up, which we’ve done to fit everything. But there’s not much padding there either, and she was afraid that her laptop could be damaged as there was not much on either side to protect it.

Integrated into the Tropos are 3 curved, metal bars: one is at the back of the top, and the other two are at the front and back of the bottom. While the compression straps do slow down the access, we’re still digging the Osprey Tropos as a large, comfortable daypack that can even be used for travel. Personally, I’m glad it’s removable because it’s made of thin nylon that offers very little support. Given I’ve gone somewhat in depth about my experience with the Osprey Tropos while speaking about the various features above, I’ll focus here on what I think are the pros and cons of this bag.Osprey will repair any damage or defect for any reason free of charge – whether it was purchased in 1974 or yesterday. However, it’s also relatively short—you won’t be able to reach your car or door without detaching your keys.
