Osprey Transporter 95 Unisex Duffel Bag

Product Information

It definitely will get easier with practice but if you use this as your main luggage you won’t need to pack it away that often. If you don't need the shoulder straps, there are four external grab handles for all your carrying needs.

This is not a knock on the Transporter 95, and this is not saying it can’t be used for travel (we’ll cover this in a minute). Access to the main compartment is through a large U zipped panel giving you instant access to all the contents. Noodle addict, city dweller, dumpling smasher, and the man with the most extroverted voice you'll possibly ever hear, Aaron Radcliffe is the founder of Nomads Nation - a blog dedicated to digital nomad-friendly gear. This duffle and backpack hybrid is durable and well suited for adventure, travel, and traveling in more remote locations.A U-shaped lid of the Transporter makes the bag easier to pack and access its contents without having to dig around. It’s probably a good thing then that Osprey say: “ The construction patterns and materials of Transporter have been chosen to provide a high level of weather resistance and the ability to withstand a lot of punishment.

His affinity for gear that works and his generosity for guiding people on their own path match his energy as editor of all things travel-related. This is because Osprey intentionally designed the Transporter 95 to be a duffel bag that could be used as a backpack, but only when needed. If you're looking for the most comfortable backpack harness on a duffel bag, the Transporter is or top choice and would provide great value. It features separate compartments for your gym essentials and work tools to keep you organised throughout the day. Wrong size hiking boots, wrong fit backpack, wrong shape sleeping bag… As any adventurer will tell you, gear is a personal choice.Since the Transporter is constructed with a robust fabric, it holds its shape, distributes weight, and is easy to manage.

The Transporter weighs slightly less than its other closest competitors, and it achieves that weight without any significant sacrifices in quality or functionality. Osprey will repair any damage or defect for any reason free of charge – whether it was purchased in 1974 or yesterday. The backpack straps neatly fold away into a zipped compartment (clever), so the probability of straps, zips and loose material to get snagged is pretty low with the transporter. Whether you’re cramming in your kit for a sport climbing trip to El Chorro or off to explore the ancient delights of Rome, the Transporter is capable of hauling everything you need. Then, when you arrive and need to put the bag onto your bag, you get the straps out of the zipped compartment, and swing it round onto your back, and allow the standard Osprey straps to hug you comfortably, and for the pack to fit snug against your back.This doesn’t allow for much organization so we would recommend picking up a few packing cubes to keep your bag organized and maximize the space you have available. Its high quality and durable material with large amounts of space make this duffle a must-have for all outdoor adventurers. They state, "Osprey will repair any damage or defect for any reason free of charge — whether it was purchased in 1974 or yesterday.
