OspreyNebula Commuter Backpack, BlackBluesignBluesignBluesign

Best backpack I've ever owned. Very intuitive design. I use this for a 16" laptop and supplies to travel for a few days at a time. It's mostly comfortable, objectively better than most and it breathes well.The laptop sleeve/compartment is rigid and protective, the laptop itself is suspended above the bottom of the bag so if you were to drop it onto its bottom, theoretically, it will not damage the laptop. There are some other zippered sleeves/pockets within the laptop compartment but it gets tight so other than a few small papers and the laptop itself, you probably won't get much out of it. But remember, I'm using a big and heavy 16" gaming laptop so it may be more useful if you have a small laptop.I also love the outermost cinchedown compartment. Super convenient for items you want to grab quickly without dealing with zippers and fumbling through other items inside the bag. Can be loose enough to roll up a hoodie or tightened down as securely as you need.Only downsides are that the sunglasses compartment could be softer, and the waist strap is basically useless. The chest strap is great though!

This is my 3 month review. I love this pack. I’m an ER specialist and go between 14 ERs and 11 freestanding treatment centers in Florida, educating nurses and keeping our ERs up to speed. Lots of travel involved where I’m throwing my pack across to the passenger seat in my car daily, multiple times. This pack easily holds an electronic bag with cables, chargers etc, computer, 2 phones, wallet, keys, water bottles, jacket, leather folder, pens, glasses, snacks and other personal items. I have no complaints, material has zero wear, zippers holding strong and it’s comfortable to wear and looks professional. The multiple pockets/pouches allow for me to separate items for use. I abuse this bag daily and it stands up to this abuse. Highly recommend.

I have a ton of backpacks for all different purposes but they aren't ones I can call an everyday bag because some are large, some are for photography gear etc. so I came across this Nebula, and I'm glad I did. I have carried it with me every day since I bought it, I flew with it on a work trip, and it has been great.The biggest factor of course is comfort, which this bag isn't like carrying a cushy cloud or anything, however it isn't cumbersome and it has padding in the right places to make it easy to forget you're wearing it. I've stuffed it with clothes, 2 laptops, a bunch of electronics, etc. and while it does get tight, it still manages to zip up easily and store it all.The one thing I don't really understand is why there's one "hole" covered by a flap that seemingly doesn't really serve a purpose? If anything I'd see that as a potential entry point for accidental spills or rain or whatever and it leads right into the compartment where laptops go. I haven't had an issue with it but it's strange that it's there.Apart from that I don't really have anything negative to say. The zippers are great, and as much as I've stuffed it, all the seams are in good shape and it's just an overall durable bag. Also I wouldn't necessarily recommend carrying 2 laptops in it, although you CAN it gets quite heavy and I believe a bigger bag would be better suited for that.

Perfect size, not too small, not too big. Very technical bag, and looks durable. Always trusted Osprey. Worth the money.

I have had other Osprey day packs. They are durable and repairable, but I needed one before the old onesent in for repair could be fixed. I picked a model very close to the one I had, and exceeds my expectations.I will use it on a 30 trip in a couple of days and am packing it today. I look forward to many of the improvedfeatures in this NEBULA pack, e.g., clam shell opening for largest compartment, stretchy outer pocket in front,and all the charming details in the previous PUlSAR model. Nicer Blue Cascade color also.

The size is good for minimal trips. It’s lightweight and padded, the style is unique and cool and it’s easy to get on and off. It’s been great for commuting to school and back when I have classes that don’t require me to lug around large textbooks. It’s quite simplistic and perfect for my needs!

This nicely combines a real backpack with commuter features (laptop sleeve & organization). It's suitable for commuting, travel, or hikes. The laptop sleeve easily fits my 17" laptop but I had to deduct one star because the sleeve provides absolutely no padding or protection along the sides; just elastic material. I am using a slim laptop case because I can't risk damaging my high-end laptop. I might actually cut out the stock laptop sleeve to remove some bulk.

My savior for staying outside of my dorm the entire day, it helps me carry many things that I need to use throughout the entire week without worry about ever need to go back to dorm and grab the stuff. Light weight and the design helps distribute the weight so it’s not going to be heavy on you. The build quality is nice too, sturdy, tightly fit with each other, zipper feels very premium, no more worries about zipper will fall off from the backpack.
