Osprey Axis Laptop Backpack – Sleek Everyday Pack with Laptop Sleeve, Water Bottle Pockets & Compression Straps

Absolutely Love this backpack!! I had been trying to find a backpack that would be large enough (but also not too big), for EDC to go to and from college classes, as well as being used when traveling as a carry on or road trips for long weekends. As soon as I opened the box and saw the backpack I could tell how well it was made. I absolutely loved the dark orange with the black accents, it definitely has just a great color for outdoor vibes. The zippers are amazing, they glide so smooth and just love the rubber pulls on them. Super easy to grab and use without getting caught. I tried Jansport but the zippers on that backpack were AWFUL. Constantly getting snagged and no where near designed to last. This bag has a small fleece pocket for valuables like wallet, keys, sunglasses etc. Then has two other pockets, the middle one is for organization it has a couple mesh pockets that can hold things like a charger, a small zipper pocket, and a couple Molle like webbing to hold pens/pencils etc. Then the larger pocket has 3 separate dividers, two are lined to hold a laptop and tablet, the divider between them doesn't have the fleece lining but is great for more organization and can hold things like folders or notebooks. All in all such a great backpack. I didn't want something too big as I am petite at 5'2, and this bag really is built to last. I had one other Opsrey pack when I went to South America, but this is my first backpack (non-hiking pack) and the quality from this brand is incredible. I know it will last for many adventures to come so I am excited to see where all I travel with this companion! If you're looking for a solid EDC backpack that is comfortable, well thought out, well built, and is able to withstand elements on long hikes or other adventures, definitely check out this one! :)

I don't often leave reviews, but I'm so happy with this bag, I eagerly responded to the request to do just that. I was using an EMS laptop bag that was getting a little long in the tooth after 20 years on the road. I had my eye out for a suitable replacement for some time, but had trouble finding something that was 'just right' in size with the features I wanted. I ordered the Osprey Daylight, and found that just a tad too small, so I returned it and got the Axis, which I totally love. It's the perfect size for daily use, and it's great as a second bag for plan trips (holds a lot, but fits nicely under the seat). I also love the numerous pockets. They are really well thought out, with a pocket being in just the place you need it. Although I've only had it about a month, the build quality seems top notch too. If you're on the fence, I'd give this one a try.

I've had this backpack for a year and a half now, and have no complaints! I really love there's several padded pockets so if I have a book or smaller paper, they stay protected. I can really fit a lot of stuff inside the main pocket, but it's not too big which is nice. I love the smaller organization pouches. They're really great for keeping things organized. I love this backpack is waterproof and when it gets dirty, I basically have to brush it off and that's good enough. It's still comfortable if I have a lot of things without hurting my shoulders. For as expensive as much good bags are, this was as steal at $55. I've had lots of people ask me how I like it and I always recommend.

First, I have to say that the pockets are great on this and the water bottle sleeves are the real selling point. This will fit a large 30+ ounce water bottle of whatever water bottle brand you have. The pockets show no indication that they’re going to give or weaken/stretch out overtime. I’m very impressed and osprey has done it again. I would say worth it from all the time I looked at others and even in trying to just look at some of the cheaper no-name brands to save a substantial buck. This is just definitely worth it. Especially, also, for the zippers, which seem to be the long term problem with all of these no name brands according to many reviews of products I’ve canvassed reviews of, and design of zippers, pockets, sleeves straps and padding are extremely thick and durable. The durability far beyond a standard backpack and most important, better zipper than on any other major brand name backpack. again if you know Osprey, you know that these products are what you pay for, and they hold up to every dollar. This seems like legitimate merchandise, given the seller isn’t osprey themselves. I compared, don’t worry in that regard.

This is an outstanding commuter backpack. For nearly a decade, I relied on the lightweight REI Flash 22 as my go-to pack, but as it started to wear down, I struggled to find a worthy replacement—until now. This bag strikes the perfect balance for city commuters who want something lightweight but functional, avoiding the bulkiness and over-cushioning of many modern designs. The bag’s mix of cushioning and durable fabric is ideal, and its storage is truly exceptional. The three main compartments make it easy to separate clothes and electronics, while the numerous dividers and organizational pockets keep smaller items easily accessible. Unlike single-compartment packs that turn into “black holes,” this design eliminates the frustration of digging around for lost items. The inclusion of daisy chains for attaching elastic cords enhances the bag’s versatility, and the water-resistant zipper endpoints are a thoughtful touch for extra protection in unpredictable weather. I do have two minor, personal complaints. First, the shoulder straps lack a sternum buckle, which I think would improve fit and comfort. As a male, I find the straps overly cushioned, causing them to roll off my shoulders instead of lying flat. While I could buy an adapter, there’s nothing to anchor the sternum strap in place on the existing design. Second, the side compression straps could have been more versatile if the buckle positions were asymetrical. This would allow them to function as a cross-buckle across the front of the bag, ideal for securing an extra layer, like a jacket, while hiking. Despite these minor issues, this bag excels as a commuter option with incredible storage, thoughtful features, and a lightweight yet durable design.

Awesome. This is a small light laptop back that is perfect for day trips. Has everything I need.

On day 1 I might have given this backpack 5 Stars, but it has a couple of issues. The first issue is that the zippers are not as smooth as I'd like. It's a little challenging to zip or unzip. Not super bad. I could live with it. The second issue is the water bottle holders. I purchase this, in part, because it has a bottle holder on both sides. The water bottle pockets are made from a thin mesh, which is fine. But the mesh stretched out completely within a week or two. One of the bottles I carry daily is a 24oz Zojirushi. At this point, if I lean down for any reason, the bottle falls right out. And I don't have to lean that far. If you're using something much thicker in diameter but shorter, this may not be an issue. I love almost everything else about this bag. Internal arrangement, materials and comfort are great. But if I can't figure out some way to solve this issue with the water bottle pockets, I may not be able to use it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I have been looking for an everyday backpack. I have Osprey products and love them so when I saw the great price on this bag, I decided to order it. Of course, it is built well and looks great. The materials are fantastic, the organization is great, and the color is pretty. I think it would be a great bag for the price for most people. For me, it didn't work because it is a bit bigger than I need for everyday and it did not stand up very well. Value for money: Definitely value for money.

great back pack

Took it to Japan for a free and easy trip. Nice back pack with 2 pockets for bottled water. Nice for tablet amd lap top

Super

La parte de la mochila que está en contacto con la espalda es muy fina y nada blanda. No da sensación de que el portátil vaya a ir protegido. Y encima me cobran casi 5€ por devolverlo.

Amazing backpack, Worth the money
