Osprey Nebula

So there you have it it's the Osprey Nebula day pack designed as part of Ospreys 24-7 series for those folks, you need to pack for all-day everyday us...

Osprey Nebula/Quasar: nice, but I guess it’s got the same problem of the borealis: too many compartments. 3.

It was frankly too big as a day to day pack and I didn't like the idea of carrying something to only dump it in a room or hostel and then use the smaller Osprey Venom 13L I was also carrying as a day pack. I then bought another (new logo) Osprey Nebula as my old one was looking pretty dirty and was not as water resistant as it once was. It was rarely packed more than half full and more often than not It was left in hotels and I'd just use a cheap Converse Tote bag, so I kind of felt the same way about it as the Farpoint. I then switched to a 20l Osprey Flapjack Courier as I prefer the way of accessing them.

I got the Osprey nebula 34l for an upcoming trip and as a larger addition to my EDC. I got it and tried it out with various loadouts and I was struck by how uncomfortable the harness is. It feels like the bag is pulling away from my neck so the instant I put it on I feel a strain in my upper back and neck which I do not feel when I have my edc with the same items. Has anyone who owns this bag experienced this discomfort and what did you do about it?

I am a 5'10 dude who generally holds a pretty minimal amount of stuff. The ability to hike and travel with a backpack is also important to me. Many say the Osprey Nebula is an effective "weekend hiking / travel" backpack and that it works for both purposes.

The more discrete look to the Osprey bag is a win. I like the Nebula a lot, especially because I can get it for a bit cheaper, although the daisy-chain for extra security on my water bottle while cycling is important.
