I bought this bag 5 years ago and I have used it to travel to more than 50 countries, have strapped it to the back of motorbikes, the tops of chicken buses and have rolled around with it in my pilot uniform on a daily basis of those 5 years.

Although backpackers will tell you you are supposed to travel with a backpack it is not true! I cannot tell you how many backpackers I meet that wish they had a roller bag like mine. It is so much less energy walking around with the roller bag. I also strap my Osprey Porter to my Osprey Ozone which gives me tons of space(I am however always traveling with all my work stuff and therefore need the additional space).

Positives:

• Lightweight(4.5 lbs)
• Indestructible material(after 5 years I’ve only seen minor blemishes in the material)
• Has roller wheels saving A LOT of energy(I use these nonstop)
• Fits every carry-on airplane except the EMB-145(nothing fits the EMB-145)
• Osprey’s guarantee(they will repair the bag or give you a new one if they cannot…for life)
• Black and professional(for flight crewmembers)

Negatives

• Low-ish storage(40L – But comes with a strap to add a backpack)
• Soft case(not the strength of a hard case but it allows it to be lighter and pack down into smaller areas). You really do not need the hard case. I have carried my drone and other expensive electronics for 5 years and nothing has ever been damaged.
