The first thing that you
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing that you notice when you unbox your Arcane is the quality of the materials. The fabric, the zippers, the straps. Everything is overbuilt for strength and functionality. The large Arcane is a little bit smaller than I expected, but it fits the commuter laptop bag role perfectly. Lightweight, compact and just the right amount of space. 15” laptop fits easily and securely. Not so big to be billowy when not packed full, but enough room for extra cords, snacks, and a light jacket.
As something with decision paralysis, I researched bags in this category for months before making a selection. Exactly what I was looking for. Osprey continues to meet and exceed expectations. Love to see a brand still keeping standards high and sticking behind their products. I don’t write reviews often, but this product deserves one.

Minimalist I like, however, pockets
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Minimalist I like, however, pockets feel tight and not enough organization. The key leash location is awkward. Though fabric is of high quality, it’s hair and lint magnet. Does not self stand even when packed. The strap is uncomfortable on the neck.

solid carry on
Bought this for my hubby as an alternative carry on bag for his laptop when he doesn’t want to use his leather satchel/briefcase. He’s 6’2 and the straps are a bit small but he said it’s comfy & he likes it. There’s not a ton of room, fairly low profile but he never brings much as a personal item carry on. Happy with it over all, fits his needs.

So far so good! Light
So far so good! Light weight and easy to grab and go. Still negotiating the water bottle pocket as well as some of the internal storage.
One thing to be aware of - the key holder is not very accessible if you need to use your keys with any regularity.
