Osprey Proxima 30L Campus Laptop Backpack - Organized Everyday Pack with Tech Storage Water Bottle Pockets and Comfortable

I have been living with this bag for a few months now and I have really fallen in love with it. It was slightly bigger than my last bag which, I needed, without being overly huge. I can walk around campus all day with it on and loaded and it has never felt uncomfortable. Even road trips prove to be not that big of a deal as I can pack a couple of days worth of clothes quite easily. I really like the two water bottle pockets as they very easily fit my Nalgene or my bigger Yeti and I usually stash a packable umbrella in the other. If I had to nitpick, the only issue I had was that the breathability of the part that touches your back is nice but when it rains, my laptop actually got a little wet from there and from the top, the zipper area, as I had to stand around in the rain a bit. My solution to this was to just put my laptop in the main compartment and that seemed to work but something to note nonetheless. Read more

Been using this as my daily driver for 4 months now. It carries my MacBook, 1L and 400ml glass lunchboxes, a 1L tumbler, packable rain gear, and the usual tech urbanites like to carry. I bought this because of the front straps and they work great for carrying a medium weight hoodie I wear for sun protection during my commute which is too bulky to be placed in any of the compartments. I can't speak to the water resistance because as an Asian resident I always carry a rain cover for protection during storms. Size feels just right for a 150cm woman. Read more

This was really great on a recent trip. It fits below the seat on a typical commercial flight. I appreciated the mix of organized and un-organized storage. This isn't a travel pack per se, but can easily double as one. The primary feature that sets this bag apart from the others are the two horizontal buckled straps on the outside of the pack. They are incredibly useful--both for cinching the pack tighter when it is not completely full, and crucially for holding a folding cane and/or jacket for quick access and without getting into the interior of the pack. The bag is very easy to use, adjusting the straps is intuitive. The padding is minimal but deliberate and extremely effective. The color is delightful, and my mother even commented on it completely unprompted. It isn't a perfect product, but anything I could criticize is personal preference. (For instance, I wish it had a trolley strap, but I repurposed the outer cinch straps to do that) Read more

Great backpack, it seems bigger than 30 liters which I like. It is extremely comfortable and holds all my stuff very nicely. It also is made of a nice material that is very durable and holds up well. Read more

I really like this bag. The size is great, I can fit a ton of textbooks - and it's tall enough that I can stack them inside, as opposed to bulking horizontally away from my back. The two front pockets are highly functional on their own - the front most is near the top and is just one small, flexible cloth pocket. The one directly behind it, the "middle" pocket, has some great little organizers, and the depth of this pocket extends to the bottom of the backpack. But, if you have things in the very front pocket, they will encroach on the space of the middle pocket. So when the front pocket has a few things in it, digging through the middle pocket is a little frustrating because you have to hold the front pocket out of the way. It's cool that the middle pocket is so deep, all the way to the bottom, but....again, if stuff is in the front pocket, reaching down to the bottom of the middle isn't convenient. Even worse, if there is stuff in the main compartment, it will compete for space with the stuff in the bottom of the middle pocket. And vice versa - having stuff in the main compartment will make it difficult to access the bottom of the middle pocket. So essentially, I don't really see myself using any of the large amount of space that is in the bottom of the middle pocket. I still use the front and top of the middle, but they are not convenient to dig through because they push into each other. The laptop pocket is kind of funky too - it's not really fitted, like the internal tablet pocket is. So unless your laptop is the size of the backpack, it's just kind of floating around in there. But, it feels pretty protected. All in all I love the bag, it gave me the much needed extra space (more than I thought I'd have, which is a plus), it looks good (which is hard to do when there are 5 textbooks and 5 notebooks crammed in a bag), and still holds my boards. I've only had it for a couple days though, we will see how it holds up. Read more

This backpack is the perfect bag for school, travel, and outdoor activities! The color is unique and vibrant, and goes surprisingly well with other colors like green and blue. The back is extremely supportive and the straps are comfortable even when the bag is heavy. The chest strap adds a lot of stability as well. Overall the bag is good quality and the zippers are very solid and won’t break. My favorite part of the bag are the front straps. Not only do they compress the bag but they are perfect for carrying jackets, shoes, and even wet items like a towel. Couldn’t have gone with a better bag, especially for the price! Read more
