The Carry-On Backpack Revolution: Which One Survived Our Ruthless Travel Test and Why It Might Change Your Next Trip Forever
The Osprey Sojourn isn’t made like a typical flimsy spinner suitcase that will jam or break on rough surfaces. It has oversized wheels with chunky rubber tires that easily handle cobblestone streets or even dirt paths.
When carrying it as a backpack, this bag is surprisingly comfortable. No, it won’t be as good as something like the Osprey Farpoint, but it’s clear that carrying comfort wasn’t an afterthought.
The shoulder straps have decent padding, a contoured shape, and load lifters. The aluminum frame does a great job at transferring weight down to the padded, wraparound hip belt, so it’s easy to get most of the weight off your shoulders. Surprisingly, the wheels and telescoping handle didn’t dig into my back at all.
