Review on 🎒 Optimized Radial Commuter Backpack by Osprey Packs by Jun Merritt

Needed a travel backpack that combined the convenience of a travel backpack with a dedicated laptop compartment. I love it. Organization pockets, expandable main compartment and rain cover for storage are some of my favorite features. I ordered Radial and Tropos to do my own comparison. The comfort of the radial shoulder straps was the biggest difference - in comparison, the Tropos shoulder straps were thinner and didn't itch. The radial shoulder straps were wider and had a smoother texture. The only criticism of this backpack was the storage space for a water bottle. While the elastic side pocket holds the nalgen, it is tight and difficult to remove when worn. (It is actually difficult to insert/remove even if you take it off).
