Osprey Arcane Large Day Backpack, Multi, Unisex

It's the perfect size for a daypack. It holds a computer, a jacket, lunch, a book, a spare pair of socks, headphones, a water bottle, etc. I use it when I fly or when I take day trips while traveling internationally. It also looks really cool - almost tailored - and it's very light. I traveled all over Spain while working remotely out of this thing. It's perfect.

This is my favorite backpack I have ever seen. it is very comfortable to wear. The design is perfect for organizing the small stuff and fitting larger items as well. I love the padded laptop pocket, and the smaller zipper pockets. The water bottle sleeve is small for a realistic water bottle, but mine fits inside just fine, and I use the pocket all the time for easy-access small stuff. This backpack works beautifully for my day-to-day stuff, school, and it's a perfect personal item for flying! I use this every single day and haven't regretted the purchase once.

I bought this based on a review by Travel Fashion Girl. I love, love this bag!!! I took it on a cruise in Croatia and have used it on several trips since.I've now had it about 10 months. It is small but it holds a LOT! I can get my laptop plus my I-pad mini in it plus the cords and mouse. Also several folders and other small items. The side zipper pocket is great for my reading glasses and sunglasses. The other side pocket holds my water bottle or other item. The outer zipper pocket is great for small items like gum, tissues, etc. I am always amazed at how much I can stuff into it! It is compact. The zippers have clips to discourage pick-pockets and to prevent them from unzipping unawares. It fits under the airline seat easily. I often clip my sound reducing headphones to the outside, or can even get them inside the bag if I don't bring my laptop. The handle on top is handy to clip my water bottle carabiner to. Overall a GREAT bag. I no longer use my big backpack for travel.

I ordered the osprey large in stargazer blue, hoping for a blueberry shade, but the actual bag is more of a teal - quite a bit greener than I anticipated - so I’m exchanging it for stonewash black. At the same time I decided to upgrade to XL, so here’s a comparison: Both bags have a laptop sleeve, document sleeve, stretchy zippered change (?) compartment, pen slots, hidden side water bottle sleeve, and transit card pouch on the strap. The XL laptop sleeve has its own side zipper, while the L laptop sleeve is accessed via the main compartment. The XL has a lot more storage, with two large compartments (in addition to the laptop sleeve) and a roomy front zippered pouch. The L is much more streamlined, with just the main compartment and a small front pouch. Which do I prefer? I like the look and wear of the smaller bag. Given its profile, it is surprisingly roomy: in addition to my laptop, I fit my full-size keyboard with no issue. The downside was I couldn’t really figure out a sensible place for my mouse, Bluetooth speakerphone, and headset: everything was just jumbled in with my keyboard. This bag is also really comfortable and light on my 5’7” frame. The XL has a lot more compartments, so I can put my keyboard in the main section and then toss my speaker and mouse in the front pocket, and still have an empty compartment for a sweater or snacks or whatever. It’s a bit more comparable in size to the bag I’m replacing. But it’s not as streamlined and stylish as the L. Ultimately I think I’ll keep the XL because I dislike the teal and I prefer the functionality of more compartments - but the L has a lot going for it. Both of these bags are great.

If you've owned and Osprey pack before, you know what to expect, this is a cleverly packaged and simple pack that does its job really well. I am an outdoorsy type between camping, biking, hiking, sailing, etc and I find I am brutal on gear even in my professional life. I care for it, but it will get used. After a decade with a Timbuk2 messenger bag it was time to change up the look for a return to the office. This is a clean look without being some bland Targus black satchel for my laptop and stuff. The color is unique without being too shouty (the brown-yellow) and I find it wears patches well, because I'm that guy. My only gripe would be the short string the clip is on barely gets out of the pack so for key cards it's a little fiddly to scan into the building, but it's minor. Good pockets, nice protection for my 13" laptop, a sleeve I can put the keyboard in, and a pocket for connectors as well as a pocket for my earbuds and mouse. It just works.

I use this for college. It holds my MacBook Air 15” very well and provides cushioning. It also holds my iPad Pro 10” in the second sleeve next to the laptop. It could use maybe one more pocket inside but it greatly serves my purposes. If you are a paper binder student this might not work for you but if you use a laptop/ small notebook combo you’ll be fine. I also have room for an accordion folder with 10 subjects. The front pocket is nice and fleece lined for your phone. And I personally like the side water bottle pocket but if your bag is stuffed full it might be difficult to get your bottle in.

This has been my primary work bag for the last year and I love it more than I expected. I it's been a great personal item when flying, and a daypack at amusement parks. It fits a 16" Macbook Pro without issue. It's small enough to not feel bulky but big enough to be useful when I need to pack a couple of extra things or throw a jacket in. It has the right mix of pockets and sleeves to stay organized. It fits comfortably even when fully loaded.

Really love this backpack and the minimalist, outer black look. Have been using it for about 5 or 6 months now and it has not let me down. Was initially a little limited by it because I was switching away from a backpack that had many slots and pockets to store things in but this backpack pushed me to carry less of the unnecessary stuff that I realize I didn't even use anyways. Hidden pocket for the water bottle is also one of my favorite features. Would buy again!

Having bought an osprey backpack previously I knew the quality would be good and am happy to confirm it’s great. It’s a good size and has plenty of space for everything a commuter would need. I managed to squeeze my puffer jacket in along with computer peripherals and laptop. The colour is nice one thing that may put people off is that the zip only opens one full side of the back with the other side opening part way, whilst I have no issue with this some people may not like that. I found it good value, while not the most expensive bags on the market they aren’t exactly cheap but the build quality and comfort I find to be really good so would I would have no issues buying another osprey backpack.

Great quality sturdy sits well on shoulders so good for back support highly recommend

Good backup - more on a side of being business or urban rather than hiking or sporty. Nice material. Lots of space. Elegant. Keeps shape well, although does not have rigid structure.

Nice color, good organization, comfortable wear.

Für alle die keinen 15" Laptop damit transportieren wollen ist der Rucksack super 5 Sterne! über die Vorteile haben hier andere schon ganz viel geschrieben. Für den 15" ist er nicht so gut durchdacht. Erstens: Der Laptop (bei mir ein Lenovo ThinkBook) ragt aus dem Laptopfach heraus. Das ist muss ich fairerweise sagen auch auf den Abbildungen des Herstellers deutlich zu sehen. Damit haben die oberen Ecken aber überhaupt gar keinen Stoßschutz. Gleichzeitig bedeutet das natürlich auch, dass mein Laptop nicht vor Regen geschützt ist - denn egal wie gut das Material sein mag, der Reisverschluss direkt über dem Laptop ist hier die Schwachstelle. Außerdem: Lege ich den Rucksack z.B. ins Auto kann der Laptop auch ein Stück aus dem Fach herausrutschen - gäbe es hier einen kleinen Gurt mit Klettband, den man über das obere Ende schlagen könnte, wäre das besser. Ich habe ein Laptopsleeve gefunden, das den Laptop vor Stößen schützt, gleichzeitig aber dünn genug ist, dass der Laptop mit Sleeve noch in das Laptopfach passt.
