Arcane Large 20L Daypack

The Osprey Arcane Large Daypack has enough room for all the little things you need throughout the day, and a little more if you find something new along the way.

Best backpack! This backpack stands

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best backpack! This backpack stands out for its great design and diverse functionality. Whether I’m commuting, traveling, or just running errands, this bag adapts to every situation. I’ve owned many backpacks over the years, but this one truly delivers on both style and versatility. Highly recommend!

Reliable, if slightly over-engineered

Had this backpack for about a month, and I’m very pleased with it so far. It’s very well constructed, good quality material, and very comfortable to wear as someone with broad shoulders. It’s solid enough to protect my belongings, but flexible enough to not be awkward in tight spaces. It’s got plenty of separate pockets to carry everything on a day-to-day basis, and was also great as a rucksack on a 4 day holiday abroad. In this holiday I also spent several hours in torrential rain, and while it’s not waterproof, the book I was carrying was still completely dry by the end of the day, so you don’t have to worry about keeping it dry too much. The ribbed back means it’s comfortable and cool to wear for long periods of time, and the shoulder straps are very supportive. Only minor drawbacks: the thick padding on the internal pockets and sleeves, as well as the outside material, while an advantage for carrying delicate items, means the maximum capacity is slightly lower than you’d expect from a backpack of this size. Additionally, the carabiner clip on one strap is a nice idea, but it’s very stiff and awkward to use, and I can think of a situation where there isn’t an easier way to secure my bag while I’m not wearing it. Overall, definitely worth the price tag if you’re looking for a comfortable, everyday backpack. You might find you’ll struggle on 3+ day trips, but you’ll get by.

Great bag

Great bag, only thing that lets Ospray down though is the key clip, it’s not as sturdy as some brands (such as eastpack) but it’s still a great feature! And red so that you can see it!

Understated quality

At first glance, this backpack looks smart but may seem a bit basic. But it has loads of capacity with neat. interior compartments for laptop and other devices and plenty of space for everything else. The really clever thing is it compresses itself without straps etc so it looks and feels more compact and clings to your body rather than constantly sliding about or slipping off your shoulder. I really like the concealed exterior water bottle pouch. Only gripe is that a quick release clip on the right shoulder strap is actually very difficult to use and so not quick or easy. Overall, this is great for my city commutes and work meetings.

Nice, compact, comfortable backpack

Really like this day pack which I bought for my train & bike London office commute. It is incredibly comfortable, sitting close to the back and light too whilst feeling robust &well made. It can hold a 14 inch laptop, bike helmet, kindle, gym kit (minus trainers), as well as other accessories and a water bottle with ease. Particularly like the water bottle holder at the side for easy access - best I've seen on a bag so far. Recently took it skiing and it worked well on the slopes too. All in all I really like it!

Awesome compact bag!

From the fabric to the design to the well thought out pockets! This bag has been missing as an essential travel kit! It is used every single day!!

So far so good! Light

So far so good! Light weight and easy to grab and go. Still negotiating the water bottle pocket as well as some of the internal storage. One thing to be aware of - the key holder is not very accessible if you need to use your keys with any regularity.

Good EDC Backpack

I was looking for an EDC backpack with good back support and decent size, after a lot of research this Osprey one kept coming up, so decided to purchase! It’s a great backpack, very simple yet functional. The hidden water bottle pocket is a nifty feature. I do wish there was a zip/pocket on the back of the bag for laptop access/hidden storage for important items - I think that’s the only feature I’d like to add to this bag, otherwise would recommend!

Great purchase

Very comfortable, good quality materials and like the fact that it doesn't feel at all bulky but you can fit lots in it. Also love the hidden water bottle holder.
