Durable and Well-designed
I have been using this pack for the last two weeks and have no complaints about its functionality or design. It is big, but not too big. It has enough pockets and they vary nicely in size. When considering whether to purchase the Astro or Elroy, know that the Elroy is more spacious. When comparing the dimensions, the difference in size seems small. However, the Elroy is better-suited for those of you who like to haul more books or documents. The Astro is best for those who prefer traveling quite a bit lighter.

Finally what I've been looking for....
This bag is a combination of quality appearance and usefulness. The Astro is the perfect size for biking back and forth to work. I can get a change of clothes, shoes, and food in the bag with plenty of room left for my cycling gear, such as cable lock, pump, etc. For the size of the bag, Osprey has outdone themselves with this one! I'm also glad to see the amount of recycled content in this bag. Definitely a great awareness for Osprey to show they are trying their best to eliminate waste of reusable materials.

this bag is very nice
I bought this bag to use as a school bag, it has a lot of pockets and space. I put my laptop, shoe, running pants, and lunch box in it and feels very comfortable. I use this bag everyday.

Just what I wanted
I was looking for one bag that would serve as a purselike object and laptop bag. I value quick access to important stuff and security. This bag is it. The important stuff I need every day (keys, railpass) goes in the outside pocket, other stuff in the organizer pocket inside. There is terrific attention to detail--comfy padded handles and shoulder strap, sturdy, adjustable buckles, generous velcro, and zipper pulls you can manage with one hand, lots of padding for a laptop. I love the quick top-access zipper for the laptop portion of the bag. Mesh pockets are big enough to hold lunch, and to keep it far from your laptop. The cell phone pocket is right where it should be. I liked the green color and the recycled content is nice, too. This is one great bag that should last a long time.

Nice bag
I've liked the Osprey packs for years and needed an everyday day that I could take to work that would accommodate my laptop and other gear that I need. This bag was perfect. It has a prefect number of pockets and compartments to hold all my stuff. The top zipper is perfect for air travel when getting your laptop in and out quickly. The padded shoulder strap provides good comfort. It's not to big but can hold a lot of items. You are able to easily organize all your gear with easy access. The fact that it is made from recycled materials is an added plus. Truly a great bag, you won't be disappointed.
