are there loops on the bag straps so that the daypack can be attached to my large backpack?

The riser straps and main straps can be separated at the buckle, then leashed to the front of your large pack. I just got this bag, the 24 though, and can attach it to my Aether 70 just fine. Hope this helps.

I bought this backpack so I could ride to work in the mornings and it has not disappointed. The pack is ultra light and the rainfly makes it great for computer protection when it's wet outside. My ONLY reason for not giving this backpack 5 stars ist hat it doesn't come with a water bladder. I wish I had known that before buying it. That being said, I still don't regret the purchase at all.
Great all around use

I got the Momentum 34 mainly because of it's laptop compartment and I frequently go on 2-4 day trips for work. The longest trip I had lately was to Singapore and was able to fit in 6 days worth of clothing (even with the expansion zipper closed), a laptop and even 2 water bottles on the outside compartment. Even made a new friend because of the bag!
Living in the Philippines, the built in rain cover is a treasure. Sudden rainstorms could easily put an end to my laptop and other tech I'm carrying around.
I've yet to test this on a bike but I will edit this as soon as I do.

So I've had this pack for about a year, and sadly it has fallen prey to breakage.
There are endless pros and cons, but here is a list of the several items that caught my attention.
Pros- The pack fit nicely on my shoulders, the included pack cover was super duper awesome especially living in Seattle. The front two pouches were awesome for my cell phone and things of that nature. The Pockets of this thing are massive and easily held any books, binders, or laptops for school. Seriously, it could hold all of my stuff. The external pouch was sweet for a jacket and anything else random.
Now for the cons.
I found that the upper compression straps got in the way of my pack while I tried to open it. The reason behind it getting in the way has to do with it going in an upward direction. While this pack is massive, that is one down side. Unless this thing is totally packed and it has an inflated feeling, the thing just feels awkward, for me that is. It was floppy and being empty the upper compression straps left a portion of the upper pocket to flap around, again nothing keeping it in place.
Now the only reason I'm returning this awesome pack is because it broke. Where my right should strap meets the base of the pack broke. While it was a great pack I will not be getting another considering it doesn't suit my needs for what I want in a day pack/ school pack. It was fantastic while it lasted and kept my stuff dry plenty of times, boy does that built in rain cover come in handy!
Exceeded Expectations!

I was a little skeptical at first because the fabric looked kind of thin and the shoulder straps looked weak. So far durability has not been an issue. Somehow everything I had to store, I found a spot for, which I wasn't sure of when I bought. A laptop pocket was a must and this one fits my 13"laptop, iPad and documents, extremely happy with that. The one time I had a lot of gear, I opened the expandable compartment and everything fit great. I have two minor complaints... I bought the Carbide one and the little zipper tabs are the same color and at times hard to find, especially in low light. I wish they had made them a different color to stand out. The shoulder straps feel flimsy. I wish they had a sturdier feel like TheNorthFace's backpacks.

How does it perform for back ventilation?
A lot of great reviews... but none have mentioned anything in terms of the back ventilation. With a 14m commute, I am looking for something that will breath well and minimize back sweat. Was considering the mesh framed Stratus for this reason... thoughts or advice?
Also, is this all top-load or is there a front/back access as well?
~Thanks!
Kate Williamson
Member since
The backpanel is a closed cell foam that is ridged to create air channels--not bad ventilation but not the absolute best either. If you are not willing to go without removed backpanel ventilation, give the Stratos a try.
Word of warning, since the Stratos has a removed backpanel, the frame is super stiff and has been known to bump against the helmet while riding...
Backpack is amazing

Blows away my tnf box shot. Better shoulder pads that can be tucked away (use top/side handles); shell better than most; water bottle can be held in the front pocket; 2 organizer pockets for books/files/computer; no dangling hip belt b/c can tuck away if not in use; tucked away raincover...I can go on. LOVE IT Make sure to size as would larger packs
Don't forget to order the sizing right...if you're small/medium in larger backpack...you'll be the same in this one. Unl

Diane Elder

Does this pack have an internal frame? Would it be good for travel? I am looking for a bag that will work for 1 or 2 weeks, up to 6 months. Have you used it as a carry-on bag?
DEON NORTJE
Member since
I have used this as a carry on without problems on a few 3rd world airlines
Kate Williamson
Member since
This bag is carry-on size--it's actually super nice for carry-on as the back pack straps tuck away making it more like a brief case (there is a side handle for that purpose).
I'm confused by your 1 or 2 weeks, up to 6 months request. There is no bag in the world that will be great for 1 or 2 weeks AND 6 months. 6 months is a long time. That said, I know plenty of lightweight travelers who can live off of 1-2 weeks worth of stuff for a 6 month period--is that what you mean? You can fit several changes of clothing, an extra pair of shoes, toiletries, a book, a laptop, and a water bottle.
There is no internal frame but the backpanel is slightly rigid so it holds its shape really well.
Carbide is not Black
Jazzejohn
Member since
Maybe I'm going color blind, but I sent one back because the Carbide I ordered turned out to be a dark grey / Silver. The second one came in and its still grey / silver, nowhere close to the picture BC has up. So, in case anyone was wondering how close the actual color is to the image, its not (see my picture for true color).
Edit (2/10): thanks for correcting the product photo!
James
Member since
I agree - The colors appear to be mixed up.
Carbide shows "Black" on Osprey's own website, however, there is a "carbon" color which may or may not be the grey. Several other online sellers list one or the other color as well. The silver grey may be another season - old stock?

Is this backpack good for heavy loads look schoolbooks, a laptop and maybe some groceries?
Kate Williamson
Member since
Marciel,
I don't know if you'd get all that in this bag! It deals well with heavy loads though. It will carry 2-3 college textbooks, notebook, plus laptop well especially if you are biking with it. If you have one book and your laptop, you might fight some groceries in too (so long as it isn't a gallon of milk or anything).
Best backpack Ever

I wouldn't be so sure that you'll be able to fit a Nalgene in those side pockets. I don't have this exact pack but I've used similar Osprey packs where I could not put a 1L bottle in the side pockets. You might have to just use the main compartment.

I am curious to know how much space the padding for the laptop sleeve takes up. I am not very interested in carrying a laptop and don't want to waste cargo room on laptop padding.

It's minimal. Even if you never use it you are only losing the thickness of the Backpacker Magazine gear guide. It may even work as a place to put your water reservoir.

jj_4692443

4 stars because of price. I think that other models similar models would fit my needs. I like this backpack alot. I use to ride my motorcycle back and forth to work and my reserve drills for the military (1.5hr). This pack is lite, and I can stuff all kinds of gear in it. As far as comfort goes, this is one of the most comfortable packs I have ever used. I bought Osprey because of their lifetime warrenty. I am sure I will get many years of use from this. The only downside I see is that the zippers get stuck on the fabric alot when opening and closeing. This may be due to the fact that I really haven't broken it in yet. this thing has so many pockets I somtimes forget where I put stuff. I looked around before I bought this and I am glad I did. The price tag is high for a this pack, but it is like they say you get what you pay for. If your looking for somthing a little cheaper go with a different model. I own 2 osprey packs. This one is everything that it claims to be. I would buy another one. I don't usually write reviews, but this pack is worth it.
Awesome pack! Beats the Metron 35, hands down!
der4024845
Member since
Just got mine today and I am floored by how much space it has for how small it looks. I even loaded it up with everything I would ride to work in (about half full with tool kit and clothes) and did a a quick 10k ride to see how it felt. I am very pleased. I use only one pack for everything and I can tell this one will do it all.
I returned a Metron 35 to get this instead and for me it was the best choice I've made yet. Although only one liter larger in capacity, the Metron is bulkier and heavier... and the top of it sticks up so I can't bend my neck up to look forward on my road bike. It would be okay for a more upright riding position.
Either way, the Momentum is better than the Metron for commuting and as a day pack. Buy it.
The perfect pack!!!
