"Kicked butt from Florida to Australia and back!"
12/05/12
I bought last year's model for a 4 week trip to Australia. It fit a week's worth of clothes, dress shoes and a pair of Merrell hikers with ease, allowing me to bring only this and a small backpack for the entire trip. This Spring I went to Florida for a week and only used this bag. Don't waste anymore time reading my insanely great review. Buy this pack now and you will never buy travel packs from any other company!

Notwithstanding my review of the Osprey Shuttle 28L, I believe if you can't carry it on your back, you shouldn't be carrying it at all. I've used this bag all over the world. It's the perfect size for stowing in the overhead compartment, yet still has all kinds of room for your crap. I'm mildly addicted to Osprey's "straightjacket" system...it's great for protecting your gear and compressing it smaller. The stowaway backpack harness is pretty good...not great, but I'm not planning on summiting Kilimanjaro with it either. And it has the integral whistle in the sternum strap buckle...great for annoying my wife in the airport and making the grade-schooler sitting next to me jealous.

I generally use this bag with a couple packing cubes (Eagle Creek, for example) and can easily carry enough clothing for two weeks, plus 3-5 pairs of shoes. The pack holds its shape well without being too rigid, thus allowing you to squeeze that last item along the edge. I’ve always brought this bag as a carry-on and haven’t had any issues with size, even at capacity.Brought this bag to Italy last year during an train strike and had to walk along a steep hiking trail to the apartment. Since the shoulder straps are well-padded and there is a decent hip belt, I had no issues. Enough said.\While I don't want to paint with a broad brush, everyone everywhere should buy this bag.
