Osprey Packs Arcane Roll Top, Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was unsure about a roll top backpack, but I love it. The bag feels much more secure than a zipper backpack. I’ve always been paranoid about leaving zippers unzipped, zippers unzipping themselves, or others unzipping my backpack in crowded places. For my purpose, work and travel, this is the perfect balance of easy access for me but the harder for others. The front zipper pocket is great for easy access to stuff when I’m on my own, but I can leave it empty if I am at all concerned for my belongings. I’m also a huge fan of how clean it looks and how compact it is. I’m far less likely to accidentally bump into people with this backpack than with the bulky ones I’ve had before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pack is a perfect size and fit to be my every day carry. I got the black color option. Black fabric with steel buckles looks nice and matches nicely with both casual and office casual clothes. The pockets are designed to be usable but visually streamlined. The water bottle pocket on the side is made from flexible materials so that it doesn’t get in the way when it is not being used. The roll top design helps to avoid the problem of the excess space in the pack shaking around when it is less full. Additionally, it expands nicely when I need to pack extra items into the top or have to stow my sweatshirt. Another nice feature is that the buckles and clips are made of metal. My previous pack had busted up and shattered plastic parts from a few years of use. Overall, this is a good pack for carrying my laptop, a small water bottle (20oz or less) and a few books. The extra space makes it so that I could use this pack as a day pack for traveling or shorter day hikes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the bag. I bought it to hold a days worth of layers while hiking. Works well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent bag that is perfect for overnight. Plenty of room and the roll top lets you fit in a bit extra if needed.

Love this bag, the quality is excellent and it’s very comfy to carry. The only drawback is that it’s quite dark when looking inside it but other than that, it’s great. Would 100% recommend!

The bag is a fantastic every day work bag with enough space for something else as well- big enough for lunch, a laptop and climbing shoes. It seems to be quite water resistant, which I wasn't expecting. And it is comfy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's convinced to travel. It's has a space for water bottle.

Great, stylish day pack. Used it as a carry on and was more than ideal for this purpose. Comfortable bag definitely recommend.

Great bag for a self-employed person who likes working in different places. I can fit my whole 'office' in, plus a blanket for my dog. Would recommend!
