Osprey Porter 46 Backpack

My family of five took a 2+ week trip to eastern Europe this past summer. We were only allowed to bring backpacks. We decided on this model based on its size and ability to add a daypack to it. I was able to pack more than enough clothes (& 2 prs of shoes) and still have room for souvenirs. I like the easy access to the different compartments and also the ability to lock all of them together by aligning all the zippers and threading a travel cable-lock through them. They were easy to carry and made our lives so much easier boarding trains & planes! No complaints!

Purchased two (one each) for my daughter and me for travel, not backpacking. I can't attest to long wear comfort. I like that the straps can be in use or packed away. I can carry my kid's if walking through large airport while wearing mine. She was able to independently handle/wear the pack when she took it to camp for a week. She is average sized 10YO, and the pack was large for her, but independently manageable. Plenty of hooks and the compressions straps can accommodate a wide variety. Tucked a jacket during travel, my kid had her sleeping bag for camp. For our trip, we each comfortably fit over a week's worth of clothing (wore 2x), requiring clothing for hot and cool temperatures. Jacket. Full toiletry bag. Couple books. Computer. Electronic cords. My camera gear (full sensor DSLR body, three lenses). And room for a couple souvenirs on way back. They EASILY fit in the overhead compartment. Slid righty in, no hold up trying to squeeze them in. That was a necessity as I do not like checking bags. I was worried about this, but they do meet requirements! I REALLY like the bag. The compression straps feel durable in combination with the wrap around flaps. I LOVE the open top "suitcase" style to easily pack/retrieve items. My first Osprey bag. The quality seems very nice. I expect to have for over a decade - much nicer than my last backpack that lasted for that long. Definitely plan to have for my daughter until she's an adult.
