Osprey Quasar Backpack

After a holiday in Wales and me constantly moaning about my backpack enough was enough and I knew I had to replace it.I did a lot of searching and was a bit nervous ordering online again but I definitely hit the jackpot with this one.It’s extremely comfortable to wear for either a day trip or a commute. The padded laptop section comfortably holds my work laptop, but I was surprised i could also fit my large laptop in there as well.For a day out there is more than enough space for me to keep a small first aid kit, waterproof cover (just in case), I can get a medium size cool bag inside enough for a pack up for three people, waterbottles, small camera, large purse, phone etc and I even fitted in a small picnic blanket and was still able to carry more.Really impressed and would have no hesitation recommending this bag to people. All the zips work well and everything feels so strong and durable.100% worth it.

Materials and zips are all nice and durable. Perfectly sized as a personal item for airlines. I have only two qualms with it - the first is that it doesn't stand up on its own when empty, but this is to be expected for a light backpack. The second is that the tablet sleeve could be a few millimetres bigger - it's a little difficult to put a 12.9inch iPad with a keyboard folio in there when you also have a laptop in the other sleeve, though its definitely doable.Very happy with it overall

Had a first month abroad with this Osprey Quasar which replaces my old Osprey axis. It was as similar as I could find and great. I'm glad I didn't go a size bigger or more main compartments because it would be bulky. This quasar compresses nicely if not full, is light & smart. It takes my 12" by 8 " tablet & A4 size pads so it would be good for college. I use as a day sack & to shop!I have my old rain cover. In my experience most day sacks are not waterproof for prolonged rain.

Good quality bag that doesn't ruin my husband's tshirts. It has a smooth back so the jumpers and tshirts are fine with it. Other bags were ruining them all the time causing extreme pilling. All zips are good and easy to use, plenty of space for a laptop and pockets for other bits. The only downside is the location of the top handle which is not easy to grab.

Amazing !

Great backpack for day to day or travelling. Well made, comfortable, with plenty of space inside.

This is a great bag with a lot of organisation options in each pocket. It has a 3-in-1 sleeve in the main compartment (padded laptop sleeve, document sleeve, padded tablet sleeve) and pen holders, a key clip and other mesh pockets on the front pocket. There is also a small pocket above the bungee that has a soft microfibre lining (ideal for phones or glasses). The shoulder straps are very comfy and are ventilated to allow air to flow through. The back panel is made from a textured foam at the top and an mesh covered foam at the bottom for added comfort and support.My only complaint about the bag is that there are compression straps at the bottom of the bag, but none at the top. Unless you fill the bag completely, you can't compress the top half and it results in the bag looking a bit loose and you run the risk of having the contents jumble around during use. The bag should probably be 20-22L at most rather than 26L.It's not a big enough issue for me to return it but this is something to note if you don't want the contents of the bag moving around.

I use this bag every day for work. It fits everything I need plus gym gear. I have also takent his on holiday as it's comfortable for carrying through the airport and fits under the plane seat.
