A tougher, more travel-focused take on the compact expandable backpack.
Osprey says:
Compact enough to fit under an airplane seat, this expandable travel backpack transforms from a 26 L under-seat carry-on to a 32 L carry-on backpack when the journey calls for more space. Built for versatility, durability and style, it includes a 16" laptop sleeve and features NanoTough™ water-resistant fabrics made to last a lifetime - making it the ultimate laptop travel backpack for any trip.
Our Verdict
I think the Transporter Travel Pack 26+6 strikes a good balance between durable construction and practical travel organisation. The 630D NanoTough nylon body and reinforced 840D base feel well suited to regular airport and rail use, while the AirScape back panel gives it more structure and support than a simple soft-sided travel bag.
The suitcase-style opening makes packing straightforward, particularly with packing cubes, and I like the separate direct-access laptop compartment for getting through airport security without disturbing the main load. The shoulder straps can also be tucked away when you want to handle it more like luggage.
Capacity expands from 26 to 32 litres when you need extra space, and at 962g it remains reasonably light given the tougher fabrics and structure.
