Osprey Packs Momentum 34 Backpack - 1953-2075cu in

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

Cannot tell you how impressed I am with this bag. The engineering and thought process put into this bag is all there for you to get the most for your money! You will kick yourself if you don't buy this one.

i would probably give this a 4.5 only cause of the price but i gave it a 5 just because the pack is pretty sweet!

Color: Carbide
Size: S/M

i bought this primarily for my commute - fits my 13" macbook perfectly! for those of you who know the macbook pro's aren't light.. although i'm awaiting work to swap it out w/the air...

this pack is great..good & compact - lots of pockets, and it really does have more room than it appears. although my favorite feature (don't ask me why) is the retractable key ring on the inside of one of the pockets on the strap.

Overall, very satisfied w/the pack - good enough to carry to work as well as take on one of your weekend excursions!

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.

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.

Great construction quality, full of features and beautifully designed. By far, the best bike commuter pack ever!

So I finally had this bag come in, and it was immediately an incredible bag. Plenty of pockets, more than enough space for things to store. And so I decided to put it to the test. I shoved my 17" laptop into the padded pocket, school books and papers, u-lock, and a change of clothes and rode to school on, and it was incredibly comfortable. Held well and didn't bounce around. All the straps are easy to access and easy to secure. That was 12 mile ride all around.
Then off to the rock climbing gym, so I loaded up my harness, shoes, and rope. I also left the laptop in there and some new clothes and rode to the gym. Again, even with a rope, all was held tight and nothing moved. A total of 8 miles of riding all around.
Now for the final test. Went to a concert with clothes, my $600 DSLR Camera, and my laptop, along with the belongings of the friends i went with and went straight to the mosh pit. Absolutely nothing went wrong. I cinched down all the straps, and even with all the moving and shoving and kicking, the pack held close to my body and my laptop and camera came out looking as good as they ever did. And since all the pockets are easily accessible, all the belongings were easily to reach.

Bottom line: Osprey built this bag for commuting, better than a messenger bag and flat out worthy of carrying your most valuable gear.
