Review on πŸŽ’ Optimized Radial Commuter Backpack by Osprey Packs by Calvin Chavva

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I have 4 of these, best for everyday use, hiking, camping or cycling

I have the first version of this 26 liter tank and now 3 updated versions of 26/32 liters. The only really bad downside to this new version of the laptop bag. It's curved and puts a lot of stress on the laptop and I can see it damaging the screen. Instead, place your laptop in the front area. This backup is a scaled down version of my 85L Osprey Anti-Gravity Backpack. Some of them did tons of 6 hour day hikes with about 8 bottles of water, snacks and other camping gear. The backpack just sits on my back with anti-gravity padding and I never feel any weight. I miss all the organizer pockets in the 26 liter version, but sometimes the 26 liter version just isn't big enough to fit everything for a 24 hour or overnight trip. Therefore, the new package extension function up to 32L is ideal. The stand function is also good. It prevents the backpack from lying in the mud or dirty public places. The shoulder straps are well padded and the lap and chest straps do the job and the chest strap comes with an emergency whistle. As I said, this is a fully-fledged multi-day backpack in a smaller version. I have looked closely at every Osprey daypack and see no reason to buy any other than this one. kept all the old features and added new ones. However, I have bought 3 new versions and we all love them and use them on a daily or weekly basis. I've used my 26L for 3 years with heavy weekly use and no wear and tear. I advise everyone to buy this pack.

Pros
  • Camping and hiking
Cons
  • Quality
