Compact, secure travel backpack - which one

[invisible999]

If you have a travel backpack - would you share you experience, price, etc with it?

Osprey 24l daypack.. Got it for $130 coz it was a pass season model.

Osprey's "almighty guarantee" is really almighty. After using my backpack for a few hiking trips, as well as every weekday for work for the past 5 years. Some of the zip handle broke, and front pouch also got tear due to wear and tear. Brought it back to shop for repair, and they gave me a brand new one after a few weeks coz they say beyond repair. No question asked.

Nope, mine is Stratos 24.
It is probably under the backpack series

Osprey is a really reliable brand for a backpack, I've had their raptor 10 hydration pack for over a year, and it is one of the best hydration packs I've used.

Another backpack you might want to consider is the Tom Bihn Synapse 25. I've had one for the past 4 years, and fully recommend the bag. These backpacks are a little on the pricey side, but you really do get what you pay for.

I am not ready to pay for backpack $200. My budget is 1/3 of that.

Guess I will go and see what is on Lazada. If it won't work, well, look for more expensive one.

If u going to use it a few times only, then just cheaper ones. If u plan to use frequently, best to invest in a better one. Osprey may cost $200, but with the guarantee, u can use it for life. My current one is almost 10years already

It is for travel in Vietnam/Indonesia/Laos 1-2 times a year for 5-6 days.

If you don't mind a small, compact, simple backpack, try the Decathlon 20L backpack, weight of 340g, $11.

There are also 30L and 40L versions for a few bucks more.

Sports connection. They are the official distributor or osprey in sg. Dun think other shop got sell

 

[butterbarter]

Thanks for this tip. I had no idea Sports Connection repairs Ospreys.

I have a Osprey Hornet 32, one of the lightest full-featured backpacks in the world (around 500g), and it has developed a small tear at one of the seams. I guess lighweight also means some compromise in durability. Gonna get it fixed.

Do they require the receipt, coz I've probably lost it.

They dun do the repair themselves. they send it back to osprey.

No need receipt, coz osprey guarantee is for life, and recognized internationally. So as long as it is a osprey bag, they will honor their guarantee

Most of my Stratos 34's zipper pulls were broken after 12 years of hard use. Looks like I will bring back to Sports Connection for fixing. Sports Connection did help patch up a hole in my Stratos many years ago.

FYI I was told by Sports connection they are not the agent for osprey anymore. They only sell, but servicing we have to bring it to Osprey office ourselves. Cannot go through them anymore.
