Why We Like The Osprey Sojourn Porter 46L Pack
Built for the rigors of international traveling, the Osprey Sojourn Porter 46L backpack features high-tenacity and ballistic materials to stand up to abuse on our flights, safaris, penny cab rides, and jeep tours. This carry-on-sized backpack features a large, clamshell opening for easy access to our belongings, which pack in safely, thanks to the bag's padded sidewalls, compression straps, and mesh interior pockets. The middle-sized backpack in the Sojourn Porter line also features the Airscape back panel from Osprey's hiking packs along with a tuckaway waist belt, sternum strap, and shoulder straps to carry our belongings comfortably when we're on foot.

I don't like this pack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't like this pack when you compare it to the 2019 version I had. It seems like a downgrade. Disappointed they don't have a shoulder strap attachment so you can carry it around like a duffle. The main compartment also was a disappointed. They designed it so it slants downward near the top of the bag. The old version had an equal height all around the bag which helped with keeping your stuff from exploding out when you over pack or want jam something in. Now as soon as you open it, things tend to fall out a big easier because of that slant. Also I miss the zipper pocket that was on the front for smelly clothes and such. They now put that pocket inside the secondary pocket which sucks and limits space. Finally the padding on the handles is much thinner than before. Will probably be looking for another bag. I used to be a digital nomad for 5 years and used this paired with a 2015 version of the 32L escapist. So for long term travel, I would recommend another bag and avoid this one.

I waited until I had
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I waited until I had used the pack on several trips before writting my review. It's very spacious; in fact, I can't load it to full capacity because it would be too heavy. I love all the various pockets; it's easy to take on flights. It's about the size of a carry-on suitcase, fully packed. I haven't had trouble getting it into overhead bins. Comfortable to carry. Very pleased so far!

Incredible! Classic Osprey. The pack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Incredible! Classic Osprey. The pack moves with you no matter how much gear you have in it. The suspension system design distributes weight evenly whether or not you pack it thoughtfully. So if you are in a hurry to catch that next flight, bus, etc. and you pack the bag quickly, it will feel the same as if you carefully organized all your gear. Not to mention unparalleled comfort. The shoulder and hip straps pack quickly and easily making security, putting the bag in the overhead compartment or simply packing your friends car to the brim, a BREEZE. The mesh pocket on the inside is great for your dirty laundry (but could be a tad bigger). The exterior straps synch down a PACKED 46L size bag to fit under *most* airplanes seats. Multiple padded handles allow you to maneuver your bag around with ease.

Love all the space it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love all the space it has! So funny that I got this review right now. I just packed it for its first trip, tomorrow morning! It held everything I need it to. I used the laptop space to carry my slippahs (as all people growing up in Hawaii do). There’s even a bit more room but why shove it full of stuff just because? I’m sure there will be more to write about after the trip but I’m really happy so far!

I’ve used this pack for
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used this pack for traveling all over the world and you can’t beat it! All my family members and friends were jealous and ended up buying the Sojourn as well. They love it as much as I do! Been using this for 15 years! The handle started to fray and it was getting pretty beat up but Osprey took excellent care of me when I sent it in for repair. Won’t buy any other brand of pack. These guys are the best in the business!

Front pocket feels like an afterthought
Really like the main compartment but the front pocket needs some improvement. The dividers lack any kind of elastic or closure so everything falls out when you open or close the main compartment. There’s a dead space at the bottom that’s pretty much useless and would have been better with a zipper or something. The pack also really needs an exterior pocket other than the toiletries pocket.

The design, engineering, and craftsmanship
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design, engineering, and craftsmanship are superb! I have an older Osprey 46 L that I love. I needed a side handle. So, I bought this pack which is far and away the finest pack I have ever owned. The myriad zippered pockets are all well placed and sometimes surprised me. I love how rugged this pack is. When I use it as a carry-on for buses and trains there is nothing loose to get caught. I then pull out the shoulder straps and waistband and walk away hands-free. I'm really happy that you asked me for a review. I was blown away by how perfect this pack is and did want to acknowledge that. So, thanks for giving me the perfect pack!

12 years in, it’s in perfect shape
I got this bag in 2013. I’ve used it for all of my vacations and backpacking around Europe since then. When I tell you this bag is great quality, I mean my back will give out before this bag does.
