Great pack for just about everything
Enter the Comet. It's a little smaller at 28L but the organization is so much better for me than the Quantum that it was worth sacrificing the space. At the end of the day, this pack is still huge. The organization is really well thought out- it has two roomy side entry panels in the front that separates all your quick access stuff from the main compartment and a little zip pocket at the top for phone, keys, etc. Main compartment also has an organizer on the front panel which is great for small, loose items. The laptop compartment has a separate pocket for iPad or Kindle and a small elastic pouch for an iPod. So simple yet so useful! Two side stash pockets are large enough for a 32 oz Nalgene that you can clip to the compression straps so it doesn't fall out. The front handle weirded me out at first and aesthetically I don't love it but it's definitely more useful than I thought it would be.
There are a lot of dangling straps on this bag which is a bit on the downside, although these might be useful if you travel with an ice axe. I wish the hip belt was a bit more substantial and could tuck away behind the back panel; I hate having to remove straps that get lost, etc. It's a great looking pack but more on the outdoorsy side than professional even if you get it in black. I ended up getting another small laptop backpack in black for more professional environments, which is fine since it allowed me to get the Comet in a fun yellow.
Love it so far!
I work in the outdoor industry and take my gear pretty seriously. I came across the Osprey Comet while looking for a school pack that featured a laptop compartment. This was my first Osprey pack after a long history with Deuter.
First things first, the design in amazing. The pockets are organized well and vary in size and shape to accommodate any and all gear. I'm an engineering student and carry around two calculators, drafting gear (protractor, ruler, etc.), 13" Macbook Pro, mouse, charger, video cable, plus my books and notes. It handles it all securely and with ease. The zipper pulls are the best I've ever seen. The shoulder straps and back panel are excellent for this type of pack. Just an overall great package.
The only minor concerns with the pack are the bottle pockets and the zipper fly. The lower compression straps sit right over the top of the bottle pockets, putting pressure near the bottom of your bottle. If you're moving around a lot and the bottle moves up a little bit, the compression strap squeezes it higher and out of the pocket. I've lost a couple of 20 oz. soda bottles that way. I don't use the pockets any more unless I have a carabiner to secure my water bottle to the top compression strap. On day hikes when school gear is emptied, my 27 oz Klean Kanteen fits in the full length side pocket with room to spare. The zipper eats its rain fly if you're not paying attention, but almost every backpack has issues with this. It's easy enough to avoid and unjam if necessary with no damage incurred. Also, the hip belt is minimalistic, at best. It is removable and mine has been off since I bought the pack.
The absolute best part of the pack though- Osprey's All Mighty Guarantee. How many times have you seen a student with a huge webbing knot holding their shoulder strap together or a student just using one strap because the other is ripped? I slammed the shoulder strap in my car door, snapping the plastic slide. The shoulder strap was broken and I would have been out a pack. However, I shipped it to Osprey, and about two weeks later received a repaired backpack, no questions asked. The company is amazing! Spending this much money on a non-technical, everyday school pack was hard, but this one incident and Osprey's awesome guarantee made it worth every penny.
Bottom line, Osprey makes top of the line products and is an outstanding company! My wife and I have since purchased three other Osprey products and love them all. Do yourself a favor, buy an Osprey.
Needed some colour in my bookbag.
So far I have used it when I go to my gym and when to carry a change of clothes for when I punch out of work. I originally bought it for school which starts in a week. Judging from how I have used it so far I think it I made a great choice for something that stands out without being too loud.
I love the little details found on it. The extra load bearing straps, the simple and ergonomic design that allows for quick access even when you are still wearing the bag. The handle that sticks out in front is handy for when getting out of the car.
The pads feel assuring that I am not going to feel drained after a day full of carrying it around. And the meshing is noticeably of higher grade than what you would come to expect from your larger retailers.
There are a lot of straps on the bag. I'm guessing they are there for those who plan on really utilizing the bag functionality. They don't bother me at all. The whistle found on the front buckle I can only imagine will come in real handy one day.
The only issue I have with this product is the periodic snagging of the zipper when opening it. Doesn't happen often, and even when it does it doesn't take any coaxing to un-snag it.
In summation, it's a great looking bag that serves its purpose.
Love the Front Handle
This is the best backpack you could ever buy
Excellent pack for the hike to work
Got the comet for travel. Like the panel loading and pocket configuration. Very well made!
Kids On Campus Envy Me :)
All purpose daypack
After the trip, I have been using the daypack for so many different purposes and it works great. I use it to carry 15" laptop for work, 100 oz water hydration for hiking and cycling, and extra clothing for day trip. In general, it has enough open spaces for all sizes. It also has the convenient top pocket for keys and phones to have a quick access.
