| Didn't last two flights 
by Anonymous
I flew twice with the Osprey Airport LZ and after I got it back the second time the carrying strap had completely ripped off the bag. There were also numerous small holes in the bag. I realize that airline bag loaders aren't the most gentle people in the world but I would hope a bag whose purpose it is to protect another bag would be able to stand up to more than two flights. Recommendation: don't fly with your pack or convince the airlines to give you a plastic bag to put it in.
good idea!

Giant packs and airport luggage check-in procedures don't always get along. The security and check-in folks always want us to "contain" or "secure" the straps and other lanyards bungees etc. Puttin' tape around your pack seems to leave that excellent sticky residue for grass and dirt to stick to when you reach your final destination. I think if you and your pack commute alot spend the $30 or so and get you this piece of convenience. So far mine has doubled as an extra duffle bag temporary cover for boots and clothes when the bivy sack won't provide extra storage on damp and frost covered nights. It also if your concerned about weight in your pack can serve as a fairly descent makeshift pillow. Get creative and enjoy! P.S....Dont forget that it fits almost any size pack (mine is a xl crescent 90) and many different brands.
Great investment

I love this bag.I stuffed two backpacks a sleeping padbivy tent and a sleeping bagin it.I've used it bag twice already(4 flights) and it held up just fine.A little warning though.Be careful how much you put in this bag.I was charged an extra 40 dollars on one flight for excess weight.I would also recommend the Osprey rain cover.
