Osprey Sojourn Carry-On Luggage/Backpack, 80L/28", Flash Black

I have been using this bag for 5 years and it works great. I have used it for scuba diving trips and it easily hold my dive gear. Have also used it for a 3 week trip to Europe and it worked great. Has a large capacity. The wheels are large and durable which makes it easy to roll through some rough streets overseas. I enjoyed the bag so much I just purchased one for my wife to replace her old bag.

Excellent concept. This kind of luggage is very good for uneven pavement. Solidly built, excellent zippers

This bag was a great companion on a recent three month trip. I'm a heavy packer and the space in this thing is seemingly endless. Beware, it's easy to surpass the standard economy airline weight limit for checked bags. But you can also use the outer straps to secure smaller loads. Much better than the Patagonia 100l black hole rolling duffel I used previously, which felt a bit small and falls over when fully packed.

I purchased this luggage unexpectedly because I didn’t expect to be in the hospital as long as I had been post an amputation of my left leg. Due to complications that have come along with it. I’ve been in the hospital for over a month and will be in the hospital for at least another month or two because of that I needed to purchase additional clothing while in the hospital. Because I live alone I didn’t have someone to fetch my Osprey luggage that was at my house so I purchased this one which was much larger than the one I had at my house and this one has wheels on top of it. And I’m so glad I did. First of all this bag is completely sturdy and has moved from one VA Hospital to another, and from one rehab facility to another. It’s been quite the journey. And this Osprey bag has been a part of it. I love the VA, but I moved rooms a ton of times which is completely inconvenient when you are one legged. Nonetheless, my Osprey bag has been an integral part of my journey and has not let me down so far . It’s packed to the and even though it’s stress tested with all my clothing the zippers have not busted and everything is holding up perfectly. I highly highly highly recommend you take a look at purchasing one of these bags if you need a piece of luggage.

This was larger than I expected in terms of what all could fit but also when I am not lugging quite so much it can cinch down to a more compact size - but still must be checked. Easy to maneuver and for the size of the bag, not overly heavy. The one watch out is that it can accommodate so much stuff, be careful you don't step over the 50-pound limit on most checked bags for most airlines. I learned this my first time traveling with it and squeaked in just under 50 pounds but there was plenty of space for more items so could have easily gone over. Now I pay a little closer attention so that I don't overpack it and double check with bathroom scale at home.

Great product and functional. Bottom frame has cracked after three months of traveling. Website says it is guaranteed so will contact Osprey whe we get home

This is one of the best pieces of luggage I have ever purchased and I have owned at least 10 different brands. I'm currently taking a 5 week trip in Spain and do not have a bad thing to say about this product. I am tall and have large shoes. With other suitcases, that would have drastically cut into my packing capacity. I easily fit 2 pairs of shoes in the bottom of the suitcase and still have been able to pack more than enough clothes for my trip. The suitcase I had prior to this one was a wheeled duffel type bag. That bag was top heavy when using the handle and would easily tip over when making transitions off curbs, or making quick direction changes, and it wouldn't stand up on it's own when waiting in line at the airport for example. The wheels on this case are large and glide easily over the rough cobblestones found in many European cities, tracks easily and the bag stands easily on it's own. The backpack straps come in handy when trying to board trains, or climbing up 5 flights of stairs (many apartments here don't have elevators). I was worried that the internal frame which houses the handle and backpack straps/waist belt system would interfere with the capacity of the bag, but it does not. There are several varying sized zippered compartments for holding small loose items, etc. I would highly recommend this bag to anyone looking for a dual purpose piece of luggage.I also purchased Eagle Creek's Pack It Garment Folders, one large size for pants and another medium size for shirts. This helps organize garments, compressed them down and makes it easy to get to a pair of pants, for instance, without disrupting all the shirts in the suitcase. I remove the folder with all my shirts without messing them up, then open the folder with my pants and easily remove the pair of pants I need.

If ratings were based just on design, I would have given this 5 stars. However the bottom fabric is such poor quality, ripping after just 2 flights. The rips created holes to the lining section of the bag. I am worried that the holes, will now continue to enlarge on every flight, and my items will fall out or get damaged. I am so bummed about the rip, because this bag is so well designed, it can be tightened for lighter packing and expanded for additional items. hmmm, Guaranteed For Life???
