Osprey Axis Laptop Backpack

Study construction, well thought out organization, good padding, comfortable. This bag has it all! Not too heavy and the zippers are easy to use. Have been using it daily for months with no signs of wear. This is one of the best purchases I have made.

This is an outstanding commuter backpack. For nearly a decade, I relied on the lightweight REI Flash 22 as my go-to pack, but as it started to wear down, I struggled to find a worthy replacement—until now. This bag strikes the perfect balance for city commuters who want something lightweight but functional, avoiding the bulkiness and over-cushioning of many modern designs.The bag’s mix of cushioning and durable fabric is ideal, and its storage is truly exceptional. The three main compartments make it easy to separate clothes and electronics, while the numerous dividers and organizational pockets keep smaller items easily accessible. Unlike single-compartment packs that turn into “black holes,” this design eliminates the frustration of digging around for lost items. The inclusion of daisy chains for attaching elastic cords enhances the bag’s versatility, and the water-resistant zipper endpoints are a thoughtful touch for extra protection in unpredictable weather.I do have two minor, personal complaints. First, the shoulder straps lack a sternum buckle, which I think would improve fit and comfort. As a male, I find the straps overly cushioned, causing them to roll off my shoulders instead of lying flat. While I could buy an adapter, there’s nothing to anchor the sternum strap in place on the existing design. Second, the side compression straps could have been more versatile if the buckle positions were asymetrical. This would allow them to function as a cross-buckle across the front of the bag, ideal for securing an extra layer, like a jacket, while hiking.Despite these minor issues, this bag excels as a commuter option with incredible storage, thoughtful features, and a lightweight yet durable design.

I used on a trip abroad. Well organized and I was able to have all my needed carry on items.

Great pocket. Maybe a luggage pass through would be a great addition but I know it is not a travel specific bag, just a wish there.

Really nice bag lots of storage, I will definitely buy this brand again. I got tired of getting the cheap china tactical bags and spent a little more, very happy with my purchase.

This bag is fantastic. I love the padding on the back that cushions blows on laptops, and I don't have to worry about the laptop pushing against my back as I travel. The inside pockets are great, sturdy. The one thing that could be better is a thinner main pouch, but the side clips help control the top width. Students will love it.

Travelability is a great quality. It has multiple pockets to organize your belongings. The zipper quality is good, and it fits well for traveling.

Great qualityVery good bag for all day work and study
