🎒 Osprey Packs Arcane Large Daypack: A Perfect Blend of Style and Functionality Review

Zippered backpacks look pretty silly but this shape and design is very functional for carrying large or long items without a big one backpack is required. It easily carries my books and music stand into the music room, the zipper is half open so that the end of the music stand is showing. I can't do this with regular book bags because the zippers on them are too weak. Both the fabric and zip on this back panel are heavy duty, top quality and I expect this backpack to last for years which would…

My wife was the primary user of this bag. Here is her review: I use this bag as my daily work bag. This bag is the perfect size for my computer, accessories and work documents. I have a hard case attached to my laptop, which I then put in an extra soft case (better safe than sorry). The bag has a compartment for your laptop but nothing too heavy to prevent a sudden drop. The color is great, mostly because it's neutral and overall it's a very appealing design. Using a backpack is easier on my…

This is a really good backpack. It's beautifully made, with quality zippers. The shoulder straps are nicely padded so that they are comfortable to carry even when fully loaded. I love the padded interior with laptop and tablet pockets and a small zip pocket. There is also an external zippered front compartment (with a small hook) for easy access to your wallet or phone. Each of the two straps has a small elasticated slot for a key, credit card or driver's license (ideal for airport check-in)…

This is a really comfortable backpack that looks sharp and aerodynamic. Good backpack for cyclists. It sits very high on the back with a center of gravity just below the shoulder blades, putting the weight in the perfect spot for easy portability. A full-length top zip provides access to a large, padded internal laptop compartment. The padding is good for normal carrying, but I doubt the laptop will survive a fall if your body rolls onto the bag. Medium sized front pocket with hidden zip…

This is perfect if you're looking for an unconventional top loading backpack. It is very well made with a material that is easy to wash and has a smooth appearance. One of my favorite features is the hook strap. One of the main straps is detachable so you can wrap it around a chair leg, table leg or whatever so it can't be easily stolen. I always tie my purse or backpack to shopping carts, chair legs, anything so nobody can steal it. The backpack holds a lot, but not a ridiculous volume. My son

This is a great option for the professional looking for a backpack that doesn't look like it's going to be hiked. The bag is quite large and is made of waxed canvas with a reinforced bottom. A minimum of external pockets and a small width give it a refined look. The straps are well shaped, the inner frame and back lining make the bag very comfortable to carry. On the front of the bag there is a large zip pocket with straps. Lined interior with padded laptop compartment, tablet compartment and…

Osprey's Arcane Backpack is a cross between a large bag and a backpack. It's simple design and function. 18L capacity backpack is slim with a top zip closure and smaller side zip pocket and is lined for support and comfort. On the plus side, you get guaranteed Osprey construction in a solid-bottomed canvas case. Fabric, ribbed fabric-covered foam back and a pair of elastic shoulder straps for storage. The inside of the laptop sleeve features a one-sided padded pocket with Velcro closure, a…
