Atlas Packs Athlete vs Osprey Airporter LZ - Medium

Is this bag just cinches down into a much smaller footprint, because there's a lot of bags out there? It's a 40 60 liter pack, whatever it is, you mig...

I'm 5' 4" tall and the ONE strap on it was so long that when I had it over my shoulder it was smacking me in the back of the calves. And then the size, it is just way too big for a 65L pack in my opinion. Yeah, it's great if you want to pack all sorts of other stuff around your backpack inside this bag, but if not, your backpack will be flopping around all the extra fabric. I ended up having to drag it through each and every airport I went to

1-2 Days - sort of between bags right now waiting for things to come in but was using a MR x Carryology Unicorn or GR1 26L.

My pack only weights about 20lbs when loaded. The airporter is made with quality material and looks durable for the protection needed against baggage handlers and I like that it has the ability to accommodate a small TSA lock, (not included) but Osprey could have designed it better. It would be more carrier friendly if it had backpack shoulder straps or the ability to expose your own packs straps.

It's not like the foam that you would use for your backpack uh straps, it's like a very thick foam, and so they they sent me these, and i actually was...

That said, when I take it hiking this summer, I think it will "absorb" my rolled up inflatable mattress quite nicely, in which case it will end up being perfectly sized. But just for the pack alone, it was "sloshing around" inside of it quite a bit. Which leads to minor issue #2, which is that this thing is awkward as heck to carry with a full pack inside of it. Slinging it over your shoulder is worthless: It will bang around your knees

If you want stuff that needs to stay absolutely dry, this is a well protected area for your important documents and things like that. This bag has bee...

The Aether fits like a glove, but also has enough room to fit a pair of boots. Now, the reason for 3 stars here..

They both feature this top flap drawstring top system and then they both have space down in front of the box that actually holds the camera gear and s...

This is a bag to store and transport your backpack, not a backpack to carry your backpack. Easy to put backpack in and take backbag out of Airporter if you need to carry your backpack a long distance.
