OSPREY Flare 27L Daypack

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this bag to replace a previous-generation Flare that was well loved as my teacher bag and now serves as my hiking backpack. This new bag retains the features that I loved about the older one, including the front stash pocket, thoughtful organization, light weight, and sturdy build. The side pockets on this version seem slightly deeper, which is nice. My one criticism is that this newer version doesn't have a sternum strap. However, this remains an all-around excellent pack for commuting to work and going on adventures in the city.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our high school kid loves it. Roomy enough to carry everything and yet well designed to handle the load. For sure, he will take that to college.

Let me begin with the fact that I LOVE osprey packs and own several. This commuter bag features great organization with a place for everything you need in a place that makes sense. I especially like the front pouch for quick grab.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a backpack to use for work because I got tired of lugging more than one tote or bag to school-I teach. The Flare 27 has exceeded my expectations. It will hold my laptop, planner, and papers to grade. There are plenty of pockets to put pens, highlighters, snacks, deodorant, and more. The outside pockets are stretchy and will hold a water bottle. I’ve even packed an extra outfit for going to the gym after work. I have an Osprey hiking backpack, so I knew this backpack would be worth the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pack with the quality I expect from Osprey. The side pockets are deep enough to hold a large water bottle or travel coffee mug while commuting to work on my bike. The computer pocket works great and my 13 iPad fits in the sleeve easily, even with the computer in the bag as well. Feels great. I wish it had a chest strap for when I ride the bike in to work, but that’s on me for thinking I wouldn’t need it. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a perfect bag for committing to and from work. I can pack all my essentials and keep them organized.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first Osprey backpack and I love it so much. It is quality materials and just the right size for all that I needed. I bought this for travel. The outer front pocket was convenient to hold my folded jacket so that I could simply grab it and store it when I needed it. The bag held more than I thought it would.
