Terrific bag/pack cover | |
| Rating: |  |
| I fly A LOT (particulary overseas), and I must take my backpack, instead of a suitcase. I always use the Airporter as a cover/case for my backpack when flying. It helps keep my bag clean, keeps straps out of airport machinery, and provides an additional layer of security with its locking zipper. Every ounce I carry in my backpack is scrutinized for how it adds to my load, but the Airporter's ligh weight means I don't second guess bringing it along. Perhaps one small flaw is that when the Airporter is loaded with a heavy backpack, it is not really possible to use it straps to carry the whole bag. Their is only one strap, it is a bit flimsy, and not very adjustable. So I usually end up putting my backpack into the Airporter when I arrive in the check-in line, and kind of drag it along until I reacher the check-in counter. When I retrieve it after the flight, I immediately take my backpack out of the Airport and proceed. This is my second one; the first got stolen. Highly recommend. | |

Osprey Airporter Review | |
| Rating: | |
| It is a bag with a strap on it for protecting backpacks. It does well enough for being able to absorb the handling abuse that your pack would otherwise take and it has a lightly padded strap so you can get the thing through the airport. Mine accumulated a few tears over the course of a month in Europe, but the bag is supposed to be light, not made out of a heavy ripstop Cordura. I was able to put my pack and my poles in the bag and if you want to travel with your pack, get this bag or something like. Of course, if you have gone far enough to be reading this review, you probably already know that. | |

Does the job | |
| Rating: | |
| Used this to protect my fully loaded Gregory Palisade pack with hiking poles and ice axe while flying from San Diego to Seattle & back. Didn't expect it to be bombproof at this price, but it sustained only scuffs & minor abrasions while protecting the pack & contents. I agree with other reviewers that the shoulder strap is next to worthless, but while carrying the 40+ lb pack at any time I wasn't getting it on or off the luggage carousel or scale, I pulled off the cover & carried it by the pack straps. Just stuffed the cover under the top pack pocket. | |

worth it | |
| Rating: | |
| It was great not having to worry about taking my bag apart or securing all the straps when I checked my pack. I also walked into the airport in Chicago it was January 7th, brr... in my huge bulky winter parka, took it off, and put it in with my pack and checked it - it was nice not to have to lug it around. I am a little worried about the durability of the small/thin stap it comes with, I am afraid it wouldn't take too much to bust it - hasn't yet though...I guess time will tell. | |

Protect your pack from transport damage | |
| Rating: |  |
| Real helped with our crew's expedition to Yellowstone. We had to fly, and as a frequent business flyer, I am all too aware of the way luggage is treated. I like the size of back, which accomodated our multi-day packs (5000 cu in and up) filled with gear. This really helps. NOTE: Don't believe comments that 2 packs will fit in one bag unless we are talking small weekend bags. | |

Works great for flying with a large pack | |
| Rating: | |
| Took it to Thailand for a month and had no problems. The outside strap is pretty much useless for carrying a heavy load, though. But that is not much of an issue because if you were going to carry it a distance you can just whip out the pack and stow the AirporterLZ. Oh yeah, it stows well. Nice and small. | |

The best defense against travel damage. | |
| Rating: | |
| Even the baggage handlers at the airport could only put scuffs, not tears, in this bag. Considering what they do to my regular luggage, the Airporter deserves a merit award. All this and its lightweight and fits in a small pocket on your pack. | |

Good for Airline Travel | |
| Rating: | |
| Worked well for airline travel. Fit a 5000 in3 internal frame back pack and sleep pad together with plenty of extra room. It would be easy to exceed the airline 50lb max if you filled it all the way up | |

good investment | |
| Rating: | |
| Its a great idea, but dont put it on until your in line at the airport. The material is very thin and the strap feels even weaker. | |

Airporter does its Job | |
| Rating: |  |
| Like I said, the Airporter does its job, it prevents your straps/clips/etc on your pack from getting caught in or damaged by airport baggage equipment. The two major drawbacks are: (1) I have an Atmos 50, which is a smaller pack, and there is no way to cinch down the airporter to more snugly fit the pack, making it kind of bulky and awkward (2) Carrying the airporter over your shoulder will result in the bottom of your pack smacking you in the back of your legs/knees. This makes for less than ideal transport. Just as proof of its functionality, I am writing this review from an Internet cafe in Dublin, Ireland, and my pack made the Journey from Florida to Chicago to Philladelphia to Dublin, all without a scratch-pull-dent or ding. | |

Not so great under stress | |
| Rating: | |
| This is a bit of a disappointment given Osprey's overall good reputation. It works OK for me when I load a couple of packs and some other items in it and put it in the car for transport. However, when used in an airport and/or on Amtrak it is rather flimsy and the strap, as noted by others, is to small and not of a strong enough material. I would be willing to pay more if the bag was better made...at least up to the usual Osprey standards. On a scale of 1-5 I would give it a 2.5. | |

Necessary for airports | |
| Rating: | |
| You've gotta get this if you have a big Osprey pack. It just makes sense to cover all the straps and buckles and stuff if you have to check your pack as luggage. That's all you should use it for though. The other reviewers are correct in that the strap is pretty chinsy. Just throw this cover on your bag right before you check it, and take it off again as soon as you get it off the baggage carousel. | |
| Erik at Moosejaw (Spring 2010) on 08/20/2008 | |
It is a convenient item to help secure back-packs and other types of bags without lockable zippers. | |
| Rating: | |
| This item had more than enough space to fit most or all common back-pack sizes, but it should not be used as a substitute for a sturdy back-pack. When the single shoulder strap did not feel strong enough to carry my back-pack and its contents, I would just simply grasp and use the straps of my back-pack--even when my back-pack was totally enclosed by the Osprey Airporter. | |

Best for Osprey's larger packs strap isn't so great | |
| Rating: | |
| Used this to contain my Osprey Aeriel during a trip through Yucatan and Campeche. Functioned well-enough, although there was much more space than I needed. The strap is decent, but it cut my hand like a knife when I had to carry my gear through Houston and Merida. I'll keep using it, but I'm working on a way to upgrade the strap. | |

OK in a pinch but, there has to be a better way to take a backpack or better material to use | |
| Rating: | |
| Pro The backpack fits into the bag and it's lightweight. Con When I used it to come home from a backpacking trip, in Yosemite, the strap tore from the bag. The strap could be bigger and heavier and sewn into the bag better. Not the best way to carry a backpack full of equipment. Tough on the shoulders. | |

Pretty good investment to save your pack | |
| Rating: | |
| Great concept and it worked pretty well, have to say it's not easy to carry, especially if you have other luggage, too. Came off its fourth flight leg with some small holes, probably from being dragged across tarmack - better the Airporter than my Pallisade. | |

Barred from epic status by the carrying strap shortcoming. | |
| Rating: | |
| Great for keeping your pack safe and secure while flying. The strap is awkward for lugging it around, especially when you have a heavy pack. Minus this oversight, it's a great buy for those who prefer to travel around with their pack. | |
