Budget airlines have strong opinions about bag size. The Transporter Expandable Travel Pack has stronger opinions about being useful. At a compact 26 litres – expandable to 32 for those trips where you're genuinely "just adding a few things" – its personal item dimensions are accepted by 85% of major airlines, sparing you the awkward gate-side negotiation. The suitcase-style full-zip opening with mesh divider makes packing and finding things straightforward, the direct-zip electronics sleeve keeps your laptop accessible without unpacking everything, and the front pocket is ideal for essentials. The AirScape backpanel earns its keep on the long terminal walk, the pass-through sleeve sits neatly over wheeled luggage handles, and webbing loops take an optional shoulder strap for hands-free carry when things get hectic.
The Osprey story started in California in the 1970s, with one man, a sewing machine and a vision to make the world’s best outdoor packs. Today, it’s one of the most recognisable rucksack brands.
All of Osprey's packs share the same twin hallmarks of fit and comfort. In fact, Osprey was an early adopter of breathable mesh, ergonomic hip-belts and packs designed specifically to fit women. Breathable back panels are still a feature of all their packs, and all except their most lightweight bags come with adjustable back-lengths for a perfect fit.
And in a world where outdoor enthusiasts are increasingly conscious of our environmental impact, many Osprey packs are made from durable recycled fabrics, while all feature PFC-free water-repellent coatings.
