Osprey Arcane Large Laptop Backpack

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

Love this backpack! Able to fit my laptop in the fitted pouch and then plenty of room for paperwork and binder! This looks awesome too! Love this purchase!

I’ve owned many different kinds of travel backpacks. Although my luggage collection tends to be quite nice, my travel backpacks tend to be of the lower-end variety. I’ve heard great things about this brand, so I decided to give this a try. Here are some thoughts after a few daily uses along with a short weekend trip: • Size: This is labeled as a large backpack. While it is certainly long and wide enough to fit a 15.6” laptop, the depth is not quite what I imagined as it is built to be a little flatter than most large backpacks. • Pockets/Compartments: This is a fairly simple backpack when it comes to pockets/compartments. The front contains just one compartment. While it may seem that the front pocket extends to the bottom of the bag, it actually only goes about 6” down, so it’s designed to hold smaller items only. The interior has a three layers of “stacked” compartments. As shown in the pictures, the largest slot comfortably fits the 15.6” laptop while the middle slot can fit an iPad 7 that has a fairly bulky keyboard case on it. The smallest of the three slots contains a zipper that opens into a half closed / half mesh pocket. Lastly, there is a small slot opposite the mesh, along with the rest of the bag to hold additional items. As noted above, this is slightly on the flatter end though it does comfortably fit my two computers, travel headphones, and rolled up lightweight jacket. My only complaint with the design is that this is not a full zip-around. This is because one side has a sleeve to hold a water bottle. To be honest, I would have preferred the traditional side compartment and kept the full zip-around in order to make it easier to organize the interior contents. • Comfort and Look: On the contrary, this is perhaps my favorite aspect of the bag. I got the Stargazer Blue and absolutely love the color. It just screams “chic”! This is also very comfortable when worn, as the shoulder straps and back of the bag are very well-padded. • Durability: As noted, this is well-padded and made of a solid polyester fabric material. As I intend to wear this for walks to/from the office and daytrips, I believe this should hold up just fine. In summary, I love the color and comfort. I’m not a huge fan of the water bottle slot because it prevents the full zip-around, but I support I can live with it. It’s not quite as deep of a bag as I would prefer for weekend trips, but I believe this is a great size from intraday use. If that fits your needs, go ahead and give it a try!

I use this product as my daily bagpack its amazing and really helps my day.

Could have been perfect! I love the style, the hidden water bottle pocket, the durability. Ive had it for a year now and realized my headaches are from carrying this bag, unfortunately... The straps are padded but the shape might just be wrong for me because it is uncomfortable and gives me an instant headache.

I think this bag is okay. I’m not sure why the bag only opens 3/4th of the way. It makes taking out large items out more burdensome. I do however like the little pouch on the strap where I place my headphones and I also like the large front pocket for large items. I will say if you have small items you are wanting to keep organized this bag does not have many compartments and you may need to buy small pouches and such.

The product is great. It was slightly smaller than expected but that was actually a positive. The shipping was delayed which was disappointing, but only by a day.

I really like the design and quality of this backpack. Its sleek yet has enough space to pack for a week trip. I am a fan of the osprey backpacks. Highly recommend.
