Osprey Comet Laptop Backpack, Black

No issues. Seems to hold up well. Lots of room for all my stuff. Comfortable to wear.

For many years the original Comet was my work backpack. I loved it and it served me well. I let it go because I no longer needed a work bag, and after many years of faithful service, the PU coated zippers were peeling. Outside of work I already had the great Nebula 34L as my travel and EDC bag. Recently, I saw they recently updated the Comet (and Nebula) and I was looking for a new backpack to alternate with my old Nebula. I love all the new upgrades!First, the PU zippers were gone and replaced with the rain guard flaps like my old Nebula. The main compartment received a big update with a size 10 zipper making it much easier to open and close. The top stash pocket was moved to the front and is now fleece lined. They added a front side zip stash pocket under the front handle. This adds even more storage options and is a great addition. I love the added tablet sleeve in the laptop compartment. The harness system is still comfortable but the U shaped harness for the straps may not be everyone's cup of tea. The grab handle was moved to the back top and is now easier to grab than the old top one, and is easier to put on a jacket hook in a bathroom stall.There are other minor tweaks and additions but overall I am very impressed with the new design, quality and weight of this pack. Under 2lbs for a 30+ liter pack is amazing. I own several other backpacks, including a few heavier ones made with more robust fabric, but sometimes you just want to minimize your weight.Just a couple of nitpicks. I could have used a luggage trolley strap. I also do not understand in 2025 why Osprey does not include strap keepers.

Super nice and a lot of storage. Looks great! Son loved it as a gift.

I have had a lot of backpacks over the years including Tumi (the best until now). This is my second Osprey. The first was the Daylite Plus. A nice well-made backpack but a little too small especially if I want to use it as my second carryon on a plane. This one is perfect in size and compartments. The quality of workmanship is evident and a lot less expensive and lighter than a Tumi. Highly recommended.

This is Osprey! Quality is inside. BUT the previous generation was more comfortable and useful. I used my old osprey comet for 10 years.

I was looking for a bag that's similar in size to my Dakine 33l backpack. Looking at the dimensions of the Comet pack I thought it would be larger, however I do think this is truly a 30l pack. I've posted an image showing there are approximately 5 inches of depth inside the main compartment.Once a laptop is inside the backpack feels tight on space overall due to how rigid the laptop sleeve is. My 16" laptop is thick at 1" and cannot fit inside the inner sleeve, it has to stay in the zipped compartment. The shoulder straps do not have much padding in my opinion. The foam will wear down and to account for that, it should be thicker.Bottom line is that I'm keeping it because Osprey is supposed to be a good brand and I purchased this on sale. I will update this review once I use the bag frequently.

Excellent

This is an awesome backpack -- it is comfortable, roomy, and provides great padding for my laptop.
