Osprey Transporter Roll Top WP 30

In everyday use and otherwise, I found that the backpack could have more small pockets both outside and inside, but otherwise really great.

So far, at least, everything has worked perfectly. I bought the backpack mainly for autumn and winter commuting and bad weather, but I've liked using it for other purposes as well. In my own use, the backpack is perfect in terms of size, although at first I suspected that this 30l version was too big. However, I bought this size because of the laptop compartment, and depending on the filling, the backpack can be quite compact if necessary. Otherwise, a light and high-quality backpack.

After several weeks of use, the backpack feels like an excellent purchase. I have used the backpack for commuting cycling and waterproofing/easy cleaning has become necessary. I wanted a fully waterproof backpack vs. a backpack+rain cover combo, because a loose rain cover can be lost on a busy morning, and besides, it can tear / come off. I think that one big pocket in a backpack is easier to use than many smaller pockets, which never have enough space if you need to bring a change of clothes, etc. In addition, the roll-top mechanism is "bombproof", more reliable than zippers that can get stuck, etc. When buying a backpack, I was thinking between a 25L and a 30L backpack, but I'm happy with the fact that I took the 30L version, because it can fit more.

Very light, snug and comfortable to wear. Easy and quick closing mechanism. It feels more like a real backpack on the back than Ortlieb's equivalents. Extra points for extra pockets, which are never too many.

Comfortable to carry on the back. The laptop pocket in this size category is not too thick, meaning it does not take up too much space if the machine does not fit in it and is not used. Otherwise, the backpack is one large space inside, which follows the pros and cons of such solutions, some like it, some don't. The material is thick, so you cannot roll the mouth of the backpack many times or it becomes difficult to close. You have to use a lot of force anyway to get the buckles on the edges to tear together in the middle. Makes me wonder how long this will take folding before the fabric starts to break.
