Description of Osprey Packs Transit Courier Bag - 1700 cu in:
Stay organized with the Osprey Transit Courier Bag when you're heading to work, walking to class, or chasing a plane. Its foam-reinforced main compartment holds its shape and a padded internal sleeve holds a 17in laptop securely for quick, easy access. Two organizing pockets on the top flap and another for your water bottle keep your necessities handy. The Transit Courier Bag's removable waist-belt, in addition to the padded shoulder strap, increases comfort when you have to spend your whole day on your feet or on a bike.
Bottom Line: The Osprey Transit Bag makes your commute a bit more bearable.
Good bag. Used it everyday for two years. The only hangup is that the waterproofed zipper was pretty tight at the beginning, making getting in and out a little difficult. it eventually loosened up, but then the rubber/plastic coating started to deteriorate and break off. Zipper worked, but it looked ugly.
While the bag itself can hold plenty in terms of volume and mass, the strap and shoulder pad are thin so you may feel the weight across your body.
These reservations aside, I like this bag at the price I paid.
Yup, it is. How else would I be able to carry around my computer, cord, coffee mug, MP3 player and headphones, school books, extra layer, gloves, AND bike lock? Have had it for a little over a year now, and love it more every day. Cord is surprisingly comfortable if bag is not overpacked (a lot of weight is no problem, just high volume). Bag is completely waterproof, including zippers, and with this I don't ever need to worry about my laptop in the rain. Only gripes are thin(ish) strap, odd shoulder pad (must be placed perfectly), and the main zipper looks like it's bound to fail earlier than I want....
