Escapist 32

I have had this bag now for around 4 weeks; i cycle 10miles to work each day and this bag is great. It has a great capacity - so big enough for shirt, lunch, laptop, running kit and more without anything getting too crushed or crumpled; also a handy space for tools (pump, tyre leavers, spare tube etc); the main compartment can be zipped into 2 so there is also space for cycling overshoes and other water proof stuff. Also there is plenty of space for groceries on the way home. I have traveled to london with it as an overnight bag and again there is plenty of space for change of clothing and running stuff. But the great thing about this sack is the load distribution - irrespective of how much stuff i jam into it, it is a surprisingly comfortable bag to wear and cycle with and in no way restricts my movements - easy to turn my head to check and see what traffic is coming up and so on. Can't quite get over how good the load distribution is - so much better than my old bag - very clever engineering. The rain cover is fine and on the odd occasion when i have been caught out mid ride in the rain the sack seems fairly water proof also. The only slight draw back is the airmesh at the back which doesn't seem to offer as much ventilation as my old Deuter pack, but that had a rigid frame in it - which was heavier and less comfortable. I expect that when cycling in the summer it will be a warmer affair but this is a small grumble - overall this pack is massively recommended.

I've had this bag for five years and it's as good as new. Used on 100 mile fully loaded sprints across the South downs and daily 36 mile mtb commutes to work in all weathers. With the cover its waterproof through the heaviest downpour. All zips and buckles have stood the test of time. Best bag I've ever owned....so good I've bought two more for members of my family.

gave it a 3 star because of the waterproof cover not being waterproof, i have had this bag for a while now i think over a year now, and i use it daily commuting to work and back, and i must say its a really nice size, also good for going out on a long adventure. how ever i didn't expect the waterproof cover not to be waterproof, when i got home and taken the cover of my bag was wet through not what i expected at all. i did sign up to the life time warranty but not really had time to look into it. over all i love the bag and love using it.

It is very light, and with the range of adjustments you can fit it for yourself perfectly. The backpack carries loads of 10to 20kg comfortably, even bulky stuff. I personally use it daily, and even when shopping groceries- you can load 2 days worth of food for a family of 4! And ride a bike home with it- comfortably! With the compression straps it adjusts to almost any load inside so you can carry it well

The biking details are good, tools, pump, spare tyre etc can be fitted, even the helmet carry lock is usable.
Feels durable, haven't broken anything yet,

i use the bag for daily commuting, day hikes/bike rides with family, and even overnight hikes and bike rides. So far i am very happy with what i bought and since it was on sale i think i got great value for money too

Meget fin rygsæk, perfekt til cykling :)

When the backback came in the mail it was a little smaller than I espected. There was no retailer in the area (Netherlands), so I couldn't compare with other Osprey backpacks. I did compare the size/liters to other brands like Eastpack.

But the backpack is great, I am planning to use it for daily commuting and small hikes on foot or with a bike. It fits really well after picking the size with the Osprey application. Lots of space. A 15" Macbook fits, but there isn't much space left.

Fahre jetzt die vierte Woche 1.200km und 21.000 hm und könnte mir keinen besseren Rucksack vorstellen. Leicht , geräumig und. gut zu organisieren. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Used it for a 3-day trek in the Vercors, France and could fit my tent, sleepingbag, clothes, sleeping mat, burner and fuel, couple of cooking pans, food, waterbag and tools in it. Compared to the old model (I have the 25 liter version) it feels different, but is very comfortable on your back. I missed some features from the old version but the extra 2 liters (compared to the 30 liter) are very welcome !

Very good backpack. Fits almost everything you would need. From your 15.6' laptop to a proper 3-4 day hiking trip. very adjustable and very spacious!

I was looking for a commuting bag and decided against a suspension system. The combination of Lidlock, panel access, comfortable hip belt and stretch front pocket made it a winner for me. I waited for the new model to come out for the new looks and added capacity (+2l compared to 2014 model).

It performes great, sits really stable on my back and the bag compresses nicely when half-full. The pouch on the left shoulder strap is big enough to fit a Sony Z3 compact, as should it a Iphone 6. The mesh side panels are easy to reach without leaving my riding position. The only letdown are the dangling strap ends, but Osprey has sent loops free of charge to combat those. Great service!

This bagpack is everything I could ask for. Plenty of space for my laptop, books and stuff and best of all, my back doesn't need to sweat anymore because it's liftet just enough.

Bought it for MTb, tried it out on first hiking trip. Good fit, worked fine. Had a 2.5 Bladder and a lot of stuff with me on the hike (including camera bag in the lower seperated storage) loving it. Still to come..MTb test ;-) looking forward to that now :-)
