Osprey Questa Women's Laptop Backpack

I got tired of toting around a purse so I got myself one of these bad boys. It's perfect. It has enough room for everything––a jacket, pens, screwdrivers, bandaids, gum, extra pair of socks, umbrella, emergency snacks, portable battery, pills, cough drops, fidgets, a tape measure, tampons, flashlight, tissues, pocket knife, sticky notes, makeup bag, and I even carry my smaller over-the-shoulder bag inside it with plenty of room to spare. The water bottle side pockets fit my 32 oz Hydroflask. I can put my laptop in the laptop pocket if I need to, but more often I end up sticking a book or two there. The chest straps make it easier on the shoulders if you end up needing to wear it for long periods of time, and as far as backpacks go, it's relatively low profile for the amount of things you can fit inside of it. 10/10 would buy again.

When I started a new job and had to haul a laptop to work everyday, I searched around for something practical and lightweight that I might be able to use both for work and for travel. This bag is awesome. The padded sleeve keeps my laptop off the floor and safe, there are slots for my notebooks and e-reader, there's plenty of room for a jacket and a handful of small accessories, and I can even get my lunch bag in there if I need to. The chest strap and waist belt make it comfortable to bike with even when it's full. And the two water bottle sleeves are a nice touch. On the weekends I slide the laptop out and use the bag for everyday errands and hikes. I plan to use it as my carryon and everyday bag on a long trip to Europe next summer. Love the color, love the bag. I get a lot of compliments!

Great quality and size. Lots of front pocket storage options as well as being used for a laptop. I’ll be using it as a carryon for an upcoming flight and it’s very comfortable to wear as well. Great for day to day or hiking.

I was in the market for a new backpack, something I could EDC and also OneBag for up to a two week trip. I knew I wanted an Osprey, based on previous experiences with their bags. But which one? Osprey has a lot of backpacks, and I spent way too much time figuring out the subtle differences:Axis:• 18L• Fits a 15" laptop• single main section for laptop/tablet/documents/organization, plus a small zippered pocket• front bungee for a jacket/oversized items,• no cinch straps,• standard style bottle holders• Essentially a smaller Questa with a single section instead of two.Aphelia:• 26L• Fits a 15" laptop• sleeker look• two sections, one main for laptop/tablet/main storage, one smaller section with organization pockets, plus a small pocket.• no front bungee/pocket• top cinch straps that can be concealed,• longer, concealed bottle holders.Questa• 26L• Fits a 15" laptop• two sections, one main for laptop/tablet/main storage, one smaller section with organization pockets, plus a small pocket.• front bungee like Axis,• top cinch straps,• standard style bottle holdersComet• 30L• Fits a 15" laptop• two sections, one main for laptop/tablet/main storage, one smaller section with organization pockets, plus a small pocket.• Instead of a front pocket/bungee, there's a beefy looking carry handle• top and bottom cinch straps• standard style bottle holdersNova:• 32L• Fits a 17" laptop• three sections, one main storage section, one smaller section with organization pockets, a TCA fold flat laptop section, plus a small pocket.• front mesh elastic shove pocket• top and bottom concealable cinch straps,• standard style bottle holdersI'm probably missing a few packs, but these are just what I seriously looked at. Except for the Axis and Comet, all of the packs above also have a male version (Apogee, Quasar, Nebula).My daughter has an Axis, so I knew it would be too small for me to pack for trips, conversely, the Nova would be far too large for my EDC. That left me with the Aphelia, Comet, and Questa.The Aphelia requires you to unclip the cinch straps (assuming you are using them, which I know I will) in order to get into the front organization pocket, the Comet and Questa do not.Between the Comet and the Questa, I figured I would use the front bungee for a sweater more than the carry handle, also the Questa is designed for women, the Comet is unisex. Women specific straps fit narrower frames a bit better, and usually have higher sternum straps. So, after much deliberation, the Questa won for me.This is a great backpack. My only complaints are that A. I'd love another set of organizational pockets, like what they had in older versions of these packs, and B. The bottoms of Osprey backpacks desperately need to be rubberized - they slide right to the ground on everything except carpet. C. All of these are a pretty dangly experience - some 1" elastic belt keepers would help significantly - I've already ordered some. Some concealed pockets would be nice too, but no big deal there. Overall, I feel my complaints are extremely minor.Just playing with what I can fit into the Questa, I was extremely impressed:Small Compression Cube #1:• 3 Shirts• 2 BrasSmall Compression Cube #2:• 4 pairs of socks• 4 underwearLarge Compression Cube #1:• 2 JeansLarge Compression Cube #2:Empty, for dirty laundrySlim Packing Cube #1• Swim trunks• Swimming shirt• Swimming bra• SandalsSlim packing Cube # 2• SweaterLiquid toiletry bag• Shampoo• Toothpaste• Acne cream• Hand lotion• ChapstickDry toiletry bag• Bar soap• Comb• Floss• Toothbrush• (Forgot deodorant, gah. would still fit fine)• MacBook Air• Tomtoc 13” laptop sleeve• AirPod Pro headphones• Anker 30w power adapter (soon to be an Anker Atom 65w soon)• J-Go Tech Tanker Extreme 27,000mAh Power Bank• 10’ USB C to USB C Cable• 6’ USB C to Lightning Cable• 1’ USB Micro cable• 750ml Camelback Chute water bottle.• Microfiber clothThe packing cubes I have are all Eagle Creek Pack-it Specter bags. I thought it held everything well, it easily would have a bit of space for airplane snacks too.For EDC, take the entire tech section of the packing list above, and add a Fit & Fresh Bento Box and an iPad Pro 11.Day out with the kids? Empty it out and add a 3L water bladder and three of the Fit & Fresh bento boxes.

Protects laptop well, and super roomy in the main compartment. I wish the smaller compartment had two zippers instead of one, but in the grand scheme of things, that's really a minor complaint. Bag is sturdy, durable, and bonus for being designed specifically for women to wear. I like that the waist straps are removable. Back part is padded, which is great, but let's say you are, oh, running down a long hill to catch your bus because you left work later that you should have, there is a slight back sweat issue due to lack of airflow. This issue is not experienced if, say, you leave work when you are supposed to and can walk normally to your bus (or wherever). Overall, would recommend for sure.

Bought 2 Osprey packs for pleasure travel, this was the smaller of the 2 and I kept the bigger one. My 14 year old daughter kept this one and lived out of it for a week with no issues. Great woman fit, adjustable straps, so many great pockets! Perfect carry on for plane. She had extra room even. Great buy! Looks like it will be with her for many years to come. Laptop sleeve was handy for her and she will probably use this as a school backpack this year.

The media could not be loaded.  Beautiful in color (as advertised) and quality. I’m super excited to wear this as my personal item in the airports as I travel to Mexico! I’ll update the review after my trip on the functionality and durability.**updated**Best bag ever! This was an easy backpack to put on and take off by myself, unassisted with it fully loaded. Comfortable. Fit perfectly under the plane seat. Vey durable. Zippers worked very well.

I love pretty much everything about this backpack—it's comfortable, holds a lot, and the water bottle pockets are deep enough to carry large water bottles. The only thing I don't like is that the front pocket has a single-slider zipper instead of a double-slider zipper. That makes it so things can fall out of the side of the pocket when I open it, which is annoying. But overall this is a great backpack.

Osprey backpacks are known for their quality and this product is no exception. The quality is top notch and the product have enough slots to fit your laptop and other essential items. Having said that, if you are ordering 'Juneberry Purple' please be warned that the color is NOT Purple but a very evident shade of navy blue. It is very deceiving to name it purple as the delivered product in no way resemble any shade of purple.Also for Canadian buyers, the product is sold by a third party seller with their own return policies. So please pay attention to it.

I'm using the backpack for a year now. It's a nice backpack for daily use. Great size for a couple days of travel. The only downside is that the main zipper isn't very smooth.

Dopo aver passato mesi a scandagliare tutto il sito Osprey, mi sono decisa ad acquistare questo modello. Faccio questa recensione dopo circa un anno di utilizzo, il prodotto è ancora perfetto. Ormai è il mio must have, lo uso per il lavoro ma anche per i viaggi. All’interno ci sta comodamente il necessario per fare cinque giorni/una settimana via, soprattutto se usate i blocchi per organizzare le cose. L’ho tranquillamente imbarcato come bagaglio a mano (ossia quello incluso nel biglietto standard) in varie compagnie low-cost senza pagare alcun supplemento. Lo zaino è comodissimo ed essendo un modello da donna, per me che sono bassa, risulta perfetto sulla schiena. Le cinghie per restringerlo sono perfetto in viaggio e i lacci per averlo fisso al corpo anche, poiché tolgono un po’ di peso dal dorso.

I was worried when it first arrived as it didn’t seem to fit my back. I’m 5ft 2 and needed a backpack that wouldn’t drag on my hips. I was happy with my previous mountain warehouse laptop pack but the straps broke after 3 years. So I decided to treat myself to this pack designed for women. After using it for a week for work carrying uniform, raincoat, packed lunch, books and diary, 2full flasks I can report the weight distribution is perfect-feels light as a feather. Only little gripe is no waterproof cover but I suppose the fabric is very water resistant.

I cycle to work regularly and the rucksack accommodates everything I need
