Comet Backpack

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect as a work bag and a weekend get away day bag. Love it!

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Light, great quality (feels like ripstop nylon), and strong feeling zippers. Looking forward to using! Many many smart storage solutions built in, including laptop protection and stretch mesh for large water bottles

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am an international expedition leader and I was a little reluctant to replace my trusty, 10-year-old Comet that had served me well for dozens of trips around the world. But, alas, the time had come, as it was no longer repairable. However, I couldn't be happier with this new model! All the same great organizational design with plenty of pockets and additional ventilation in the back. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I'll ever get to use it. My wife immediately took it on a two-week trip to Zambia right after it arrived. Well done, Osprey. I'm sure this pack and I will have many great adventures ahead.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was thrilled to have my old, squirrel-chewed Celeste daypack replaced several years after I bought it! The Comet is well-designed, but I did prefer the way the Celeste was organized with more pockets, etc. Also, the only color that worked for me, given my other pieces was black, while my Celeste was an easy-to-spot seafoam green. This feels like looking a gift horse in the mouth, however. Very happy with Osprey!

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.
