Osprey Quasar 28 Review (Great For Everyday & Outdoors)

The Ospray Quasar 28 backpack is an ideal choice for anyone in need of good, sturdy backpack. If you love your things to be organized wherever you go, you will love this particular backpack.

An abundance of pockets will ensure that every item you put in this bag has its own place and that you can access them easily. It’s great for everyday use, especially since it has a well-padded laptop sleeve.

On top of that, with additional features such as the water bottle pockets and the front bungee compression system, this backpack is also a great choice for outdoor lovers.

We’ll take a look at all of its features individually, so that you can get a pretty good idea of what exactly this backpack can offer you.

Features Of The Osprey Quasar 28 Backpack

The Quasar 28 has a lot of different features, which make it highly functional. Whether you are looking for a backpack for school or for one for camping, this one would be a great companion!

Padded Electronics Sleeve

This Osprey backpack has a designated padded sleeve for your laptop or tablet. It is in the back of the main compartment, and it is quite easily accessible. However, the laptop cannot be secured in any way in this sleeve – no zipper or even some elastic straps to keep in place.

The length of the sleeve is 36cm, which translates to some 14 inches. This means that the sleeve won’t fit your regular 15.6” laptop, which really is a shame. If that was one of your big concerns, I advise you to check out these Swiss Gear backpacks – both of them will definitely fit a laptop of that size.

Front Bungee Compression System

This feature is one of the things that makes the function of this backpack convertible. Whether you need more storage space for a book or for your hiking gear, the front bungee compression system provides it – it can even be stretched enough to fit a helmet.

You can see how to utilize this part of the backpack in this video:

As you can see, the straps can easily be secured to the lower part of the backpack, which is actually a very thoughtful design feature. And not to mention useful – we’ve all run out of storage space in our backpacks at one point, and I cannot begin to tell you how annoyed I get when I have to carry my jacket in my hands or around my waist. That’s why I’m a big fan of this feature.

In addition to that, these elastic laces also have an LED attachment point – an incredibly useful feature for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors in the dark or commuting home by bike.

A Lot Of Different Pockets

If you like to keep your things organized, then I know you’ll love this backpack.
