Osprey Axis 18 Unisex Lifestyle Pack - Ethel Blue (O/S)

Product Information

This has never been more true than in 2020, a year when many of us have had to curtail our travel plans. That said, a high-up carrying style may not to your preference, in which case a more relaxed fit by loosening the shoulder straps makes a lot more sense.

To help you visualize that, if you think what a “normal sized” day-pack is like (think back to high school) it is about this size. While this is true, especially if you’re like us, who use the straps to secure a bottle, you can easily move them out of the way by undoing the buckles. Just because a bag is listed as carry-on compliant here doesn't mean that the airline will interpret it that way. You’ll also be happy to know that the zippers are from YKK, so they haven’t skimped in that department either. This daypack is quite similar to the Kompressor in many ways, though it is a little heavier and has more features.

The space isn’t too big that small items just fall to unreachable depths, and it only goes as deep as the wrist. It’s quoted to support up to 17-inch laptops, but your mileage may vary depending on other factors like thickness. It is a very similar size (although feels a fraction bigger) and also has 3 compartments but also comes with 2x side pockets for slotting water bottles into. For this reason, the Quasar is much better as a day hike pack and better for taking as carry-on to airports. These additional pockets are meant for documents and tablets—it’s safe to assume that the one with the soft lining is the one meant for tablets.

Okay, to be fair, the compression straps in all these bags come with a side-release buckle that’s easy to undo, but it’s still an extra step you have to take. Credit subject to status, UK residents only, Performance Cycling Limited acts as a broker and offers finance from a restricted range of finance providers. I really love all of the adjustable straps as you really can limit the amount that the Apogee moves as you walk. His biggest travel achievements include pushing a shitty tuk-tuk into the Himalayas, leading a group trip to Pakistan and surviving many near death experiences.It’s thick, padded, and comfortable to hold whenever we have to move the Flare across the room or grab it from a car.
