5 Stars
This bag is super awesome!
The Osprey Transporter 40 Travel Duffel Bag is awesome but you can over stuff it easy which makes for the inside-bottom pocket useless. But that's not Osprey's fault LOL. It is a great bag for a weekend trip or for a few days. It really depends how you pack it. (4-5 days max but maybe more?) I will say, when I use packing cubes ... I'm not sure I can get more clothes in this bag. I may have to try different ways to pack it but I think it works better without using packing cubes. I use the Vasco packing cubes, and I'm able to use a Large, Medium, and Small cube in there along with 2 toiletry bags if I do some TETRIS work. Also can fit a pair (or 2) shoes ... if you put them in a shoe bag and squeeze them in.CARRY-ON:I haven't used it as a carry on yet but I will say for comparison (see photos) I've used my Osprey Tropos Daypack bag for under the seat on Southwest, Delta, American, & Frontier and my backpack has fit under the seat. So I'm assuming, based on the comparison photos, the transporter 40 "should" fit under the seat BUT check with your airline.OUTER STORAGE:If you really over stuff your bag, as I mentioned before then that outer pocket could become useless. You would really have to work some magic to put something bulky in there i.e. your phone or wallet etc. You could use the large pocket though so it wasn't a deal breaker.Also, a creative way to carry an iPad, you could use the top/front large outer pocket (where the backpack straps store) which is pretty cool too. I've put my 9.7inch iPad in that slot (see photo) but just fyi - there's no padding so I wouldn't be tossing it around unless you had a protective case on your device. I'm thinking it could maybe fit a larger iPad but I'm not sure since i don't have a larger one to show as an example. Side note; the more you put in that large pocket, it could get uncomfortable when using it as a backpack as it has no padding so just FYI.COMFORT:The over the shoulder strap is sooooo comfortable when using it "duffel bag style". Also the handles are very well made so 5stars for that. Not to bad when using it as a backpack. The comfort level when using it as a backpack really depends how you pack it.WEATHER: I haven't used it in the rain so I don't know how well it holds up to that but this bag has been tossed around in many different scenarios from day trips, to the ranch, to the beach, to special events. It has taken a beating for sure (see photos)THE ONLY THING I WISH THIS HAD ... was a luggage handle pass through slot but since they have a "Transporter Carry On" already I guess they figured whoever bought this bag wasn't looking for that feature. For me this would be the PERFECT bag my opinion if it had that pass through slot.PS. if you're still reading thisI've had this bag for a year and I kinda wish it also had a mesh pocket outside or a pocket "stretchy" enough for a bottle water or 30 oz tumbler. There are loops all over this bag so you could use a carabiner clip on your water bottle or gear. It would be cool to have that pocket so when you're racing across the airport, it would free up your hands. Also I should've bought the red or blue one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good carry-on bag.

This is a very sturdy and good looking carry-on bag. If you don't need the wheels, this is one of the best options out there in my opinion. Compared to a quality backpack of similar size, this one has several advantages and disadvantages. Your own needs will decide if this is the bag for you or not.
Advantages:
- This basically has one main compartment (and a small one on top). This means you can stuff it with a lot more stuff.
- It can be carried as a duffel bag or a backpack. (the straps for the backpack can be tucked away when not needed, same with duffel bag strap).
- You can fold it (comes with own carrying bag for when you fold it)

Disadvantages:
- No compartments. (no dedicated compartment for laptop for example)
- It's not a very comfortable backpack, no extra support by means of a waist strap.

In my case, I wasn't going to carry this bag on my back for long times. I carried it mainly at airports. So this was perfect. It didn't bother me. If I was to carry this bag for several hours, it won't be comfortable. I was able to fill more stuff in it more comfortably than with my other backpack with 3 compartments. I had another small osprey day pack where I put my camera, electronics and laptop. I can't tell you how many times I over stuffed it and never had an issue with quality. I've been on buses, trains and airplanes and it took a lot of beating but looks in perfect condition. Sturdy, quality bag.

I used it on multiple European airlines (easyjet, eurowings, etc...) and no one every gave me any trouble. On some flights, easyjet would force people to have their luggage checked in (complimentary) but they let me keep this one because it wasn't that big.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome bag, very sturdy, recommended
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2019

The bag is great. The seams and fabric seem very sturdy. The backpack straps and shoulder strap are all comfortable and easy to rig. The zippers are smooth and substantial and well-designed.

The bag is very utilitarian. It's designed to be traveled with and beaten up in a wide range of environments. To this end, there are some trade-offs that you may find vs. a more "stylish" or "urban" duffle. There is only one small zipper pocket on the outside (end) and inside (end), and no other pockets, compartments, etc. For this reason, it's not as effective as a daily duffle because there's no added protection for a laptop, no special pockets for pens, chargers, gym shoes, documents, etc. and it is made of thicker, less comfortable, less "chic" material (it's a stiff, heavy duty, coated shell). I was initially apprehensive about not having two traditional duffle straps that meet on top for hand carry, but you don't need them when you have sturdy handles on the sides of the bag (same method of carry, just no superfluous straps).

I wish there were a few more internal pockets for organization (the Northface equivalent has mesh pockets in the top flap and on the internal sidewalls), but on the whole, it's an amazing bag that I highly recommend. I guess Osprey has other lines of bags that might address some of the issues I noticed, but something like additional internal mesh pockets wouldn't degrade this bag--it would just improve it! Osprey seems like an excellent brand with a great guaranty of its materials and construction--I hope this is the last duffle bag I buy (though I won't benefit from improvements of future generations :( ).

A great bag, that feels like it would hold up well to travelling. I returned this one as the colour was much darker than expected, however the side and sturdiness was great. I bought one in another colour and I am very happy with it, I feel like it will last me for years. It's also very easy to convert to a backpack, and then stow the straps away for checking it in.

Perfetto per le mie trasferte di lavoro in auto o in aereo. Molto comodo il poterlo rendere zaino in pochi secondi e soprattutto le bretelle stanno dalla parte che non si appoggia a terra. Molto igienico visto che alcuni zaini sono pensati al contrario. Spaziosissimo, di più di quanto mi aspettassi. Si sfrutta al massimo il volume del bagaglio.
