20L is pretty small for a "large" backpack. Lack of water bottle pockets limits it's functionality.

Anyone else find Osprey zippers kind of tight to open with one hand? Does it get better over time?

Rub the zipper with a bar of soap or a candle, then zip it a few times to work it in. That should help.

$55 seems like a lukewarm deal for something likes this... I got the Axis for less and that one was bigger and had more features. I also I wonder if this bag has the same issue where it pretty much wont stand upright when placed on the floor, chair, etc...SO annoying

As someone who has had the back of their pack drop down and empty all its contents due to a very permissive zipper, i find the osprey zip friction comforting lol.

Anyone know if a Nalgene standard 1000ml bottle fits in that side pocket?

When travelling in areas known for pickpockets 🤡 , I'd prefer a tighter zipper.

I have this, it's pretty small. Quality is good so far. I got it at Sierra for 35 couple months back, wished it had some form of water repellent from rain

I also bought this from a recent Sierra deal. I would not buy it again. It feels like a small 20L. Not a fan of the shared admin/main pocket. Water bottle pouch only holds narrow containers. I do like the carabiner style clip for security on right strap and the headphone pouch on the left strap.

Yes , same as my Daylite. Leaning doesn't work no matter which angle. only able to hang it by the top loop or shoulder pads over the chair. I am frustrated this moment writing this.

I've been using this for a couple years now. Perfect size to carry laptop and lunch to work. Well made too. If you like big bulky packs this isn't for you.

No, the pocket is too small and awkward. Likely made for a bike bottle or smaller.
