Osprey Packs — There’s lot of competition in the casual wear and hydration pack market, but the 36-year-old independent Colorado company stands out. Its offerings are diverse, functional to fashion-oriented, high quality and with color options unmatched.
Osprey’s new spring 2011 line is the pack for everyday use or for the avid commuter called the Momentum. It has 14 features, including a raincover, reflective print front panel and well-designed cluster of pockets, organizers and zippered compartments.
I picked this bag up 4 months ago and have used it constantly since then. It has been jammed in overhead compartments, shoved under seats, thrown in cabs, jammed in trunks and everything in between. But the best part? It still looks good enough for taking to a client meeting.
It’s been a while since we took on a bag, but we have quite a few that will be featured as part of 32ReviewsIn32Days. Some hail from companies you have heard, other come from companies we hadn’t heard of. If you read our take on booq, names don’t mean much of anything and neither does price. Bags are an interesting thing we can review at TheMacFeed. In one hand, they are an extremely personal preference, yet on the other measuring quality is something that we can easily relay. And that’s the important part, quality. Bags come from all sorts of companies with all sorts of background and Osprey’s is rather storied. Today we look at one of their consumer bags, the Osprey Flap Jack.
