Osprey Arcane Large Laptop Backpack

It looks and feels well made. Everybody that has touched it has complimented me on it .The side water bottle pouch does not work for large water bottles but is a nice extra pocket for misc. I like the storage layout inside but it is a bit more minimalist than you may be used to. Classy backpack for work, laptop, notepads, surface headphones, snacks and drinks fit well. However you wont be putting a full day meals and jacket in there.

Love Osprey gear for hiking, but also don’t like to carry hiking gear to the office. This bag is sharp and perfect for a commute by really distributing weight easily. Fits my 16” MacBook Pro like a glove.

Got it for my little brother and he loves it!

This pack has an understated quality to it. It is simple in style, appearance, and function. The front pocket is medium-sized, and will fit charges, cords, a portable charger, etc. On the inside, there is a slot for a 15 laptop, as well as a slot for a tablet (my 12.9iPad fit nicely). The rest of the compartment can be used for papers, folders, clothes, etc. There is also a keychain clip, a generous zippered pouch, pen holder, and business card slot. Build quality is excellent. It also features a security clip so you can prevent someone form running away with your bag. A nice, simple bag that is great for running around town.

I wanted to love this backpack so badly but I just couldnt adjust to the back padding. It was so uncomfortable on the top side of my back (below my neck). Also, I wasnt a fan of how it only fully unzipped on one side of the bag so I decided to return the backpack. I still have good things to say about it, but it just wasnt for me unfortunately.

Bought this backpack for my wife. She loved everything about it. The color, the compartments, and how slim it looked. Unfortunately, we returned the backpack due to how uncomfortable the shoulder straps were. The material between the two shoulder straps the area directly behind your neck dug into her neck way too much. It made the backpack extremely uncomfortable to wear, with or without items inside the backpack.

Love the dark green color and the strap padding feels nice enough to wear for an extended period of time. I have been on the fence about a lot of Osprey packs. Their larger luggage style bags just never really appealed to me and Ive got a different favorite brand for hiking bags. However, as a to and from the office bag, this is easily the best purchase Ive made in a while. I really only carry my tablet, a folder, a pen and pencil, and sometimes I remember my water bottle. this bag covers all my bases and doesnt take up much more room than that. The front pocket holds a pair of sunglasses nicely, but most of what I carry is in my pockets. Ive tossed my wallet, phone/charger, and keys in from time to time as well and everything still had a nice place to sit in the main compartment. If you dont have or want to carry a lot, this is a perfect backpack.

Fabric is great and color is awesome. I love the water bottle pouch. Perfect size for daily essentials.

Use for work daily holds a decent amount of stuff lunch,computer, water bottle and a sweatshirt. And fits in a small locker.

PROS: Looks sharp and beautiful, lovely branding Really nice materials, feel nice to the hand, super robust Very well made, rugged Well padded Just-right capacity for less-stuff people (if used with a separate lunch bag) CONS/NEUTRAL: Metal slide on the shoulder strap scratched the glass on my smart watch Key tether is on the wrong side where its covered by stuff in bag, and where you cant use it without taking your keys off Your stuff can fall out of the organization panel pockets if you set the bag on its back Organization panel is often covered by stuff in the bag, to see it you have to unzip the main zipper to the point your stuff in the main compartment starts to fall out Zipper flap over front pocket gets pulled tight when bag is full, hard to see in or access pocket contents Zipper doesnt go down far enough and opens further on the wrong side Water bottle pocket kind of stinks and is on the wrong side Theres only one water bottle pocket so the backpack is heavier on one side The fabric is a lint magnet, dog hair poked through fabric and wont come out Flat profile means its best for things like binders and notebooks, otherwise you have to stack everything Unisex but still too long for short-torso people, shoulders hurt because the back of the bag is rigid and causes strain if I tighten the shoulder straps enough that the bag doesnt hit my butt Minimal organization with kind of odd pocket sizing/placement No closure on laptop compartment so laptop can slip out, and you cant hang a hydration bladder I tried to carry this bag for a few months. It looked so cool, I liked looking at it. I just enjoyed it as a physical object. But packing it and finding stuff again were too awkward, and it was uncomfortable to wear. I also couldnt wear my smart watch with it because every time I slid my arm in, my wrist would drag over the metal slide on the shoulder strap, which damaged my watch the very first time I did that. I would have to loosen and tighten the strap every time I take it off to avoid that. Its easier to get a nice bag with plastic slides and better pockets.
