OspreyTransporter 90L Wheeled Travel Duffel Bag, Black, One Size

I am retired and travel for leisure. I've had this bag for 8 months and taken it on several trips. I love it! I do not like to take check-in baggage as it gets delayed too often--especially on international flights. The Osprey Transporter 40 fits neatly into overhead storage on larger planes and has several handles that make it easier to hoist it up into the overhead compartment. When it is empty, it is pretty light weight. Even when full, the weight is manageable. My trip last summer lasted five weeks in five different countries. With occasional handwashing of clothes, I was able to make the trip with all of my clothes and necessities stored in this one bag. The fact that it is soft-sided and designed with one large compartment makes it possible to shoe-horn in an impressive number of personal items and electronics in addition to clothes. The wheels and exterior material have held up well after about 25,000 miles of air travel. I don't need to wear suits, any more, and I keep my computer in an underseat bag, so this is the perfect luggage for the kind of travel that I do.

I'm an avid Osprey fan and I own 12+ bags with the osprey brand. This bag and the larger 90L variety are the best bags that I have purchased from Osprey. Made with a rugged weatherproof material, these bags hold a ton and can take some abuse. The wheels are top notch as with all their High Road Chasis products. This bag will last for a very long time.

Despite this bag, having several nice features, including wheels, zipper, and exterior protection, I felt as a carry-on. The bag was overvalued and ended up returning it.

I bought two of these to drag across Italy for a month (also got their backpacks that were AMAZING) and they performed flawlessly. When trekking across a foreign country, you want bags you can rely on. Truly that limits you to rolling duffels since they have two solid fixed wheels that are not going to break off AND they are wrapped in fabric or leather that can't break like a plastic luggage box. These bags were loaded down with 50lbs each by the end of the trip and performed great. Sure, the less than glossy surface gets scuffed up, but what luggage isn't going to get scuffed up? Unless you're flying in private jets, I think scuffed luggage is expected. I think they look fine with the marks on them, give them character. But the pockets are great, great handle, rolls great. You can drag them up and down stairs or curbs, throw them into a cab, and they survive crazy airport staff. These are now my bags of choice to fly with. Zippers are also strong. We could stand on the bag to stuff them with clothes and the zippers handled our abuse just fine.

I purchased two large bags (60 and 90) for my video equipment and they were fantastic so I recently purchased this one for my personal use and it did not disappoint. Wheels are super sturdy and very weather resistant. I love Osprey.

Get the 20l duffel to place on top. Gives you a nice combination with lots of room for carry on items. Wheels are big and more maneuverable over unfinished terrain.

Great wheels, good quality, but hard to keep safe from careless airlines. First flight I used it on Southwest Airlines punctured a hole in it and insisted that it’s “normal wear and tear.” Still very usable with the small hole but no longer waterproof. This bag would definitely benefit from a tougher outer layer. I’ve had it for over 6 months now of constant travel around the country, and other than the small puncture hole it’s held up well. Most bags have at least a failing wheel or zipper by now. I would probably buy it again if needed.

It's a soft-sided, wheeled duffel. Maybe best in class at this price point. It's just the right size for a checked bag (you can load this thing right up to 23kg/50lb, but it would be hard to go much over), and pretty durable; after multiple international trips, it still looks like new. I also appreciate the water-resistant fabric, as anyone else who has had their luggage left outside in the rain might.I guess it's kinda' basic and I wish it collapsed a little flatter for storage, but overall this is a solid pick.
