You've constructed great boxes to show how things fit, or don't fit, into personal item and carry-on constraints. It might be an idea to write something like "Personal item 18x14x8" or "Carry-on 22x14x9", or whatever, on the box so that as people watch the videos, they know which box you're working with. It's easy to get mixed up.
I love my older Porter 30 and have used it on several one bag trips. I even managed to get it under an airline seat once. I *love* the addition of the water bottle pocket on this one.
I spent some time in REI going over this bag with a fine tooth comb. I had an older Porter 40 so was familiar with the “straight jacket” concept. One small detail I don’t remember from the previous version is the top small stowage pocket zipper has a small loop it can thread into to prevent quick opening from a grab and go pickpocketeer. The remaining zippers can be moved down to where the straight jacket wings will hid the zippers. It looks bombproof and I do like the back panel design as opposed to the previous solid panel which got very hot. Thank you for a nice review.
Good catch, the older one does have a small fabric loop, but you're right, you can't thread the zipper throught it. It's off to the side so you can attach a travel lock to the zipper.
Thank you so much for this. At 27cm the depth of this is exceeds the limits of almost every airline I can see - not just for a personal item, but also for full sized cabin bags. In practice the bag overall is so small you would have to be travelling on something pretty mean like Wizz to be caught out.
Exactly, most airlines wouldn't call you out, plus you can squish it down pretty small with the compression straps. I was able to fit it into an 8" depth sizer box.
Thank you for the video, I like very much how you explain all details! I am a bit disappointed because I just bought few months ago the Porter 46 and these upgrades looks so useful and just corrected those few defects of the backpack. Looking forward to seeing the detailed report.
They have upgraded almost every point of nitpicking I had with my Porter...hard to justify the spend for an upgrade when I usually reach for wheels, but I sure would like to...
I watched your Cotopaxi Allpha 28L review, do you have a video comparing these 2 packs? 30L max is what I'm looking at and these 2 are the ones I am eyeing the most.
I don't have a comparison video. They're both good, I'd base my decision on which packing style you like more. Porter is a big duffel which is easy to pack, you can use cubes or just throw gear in there and squish it down with the compression straps. Allpa is clamshell with zipper dividers, more organization but you need to be more careful about how you pack, put gear in the proper place, roll/fold it. If you just like to toss your clothes in a bag and be done with it I'd go with the Porter, if you like to fold your clothes and have everything in it's proper place, I'd go Allpa.
thanks for your great reviews (as always)! would love to see your comparative review of Ospreys' 2 flagship travel bags: 2023 Sojourn Porter 46 vs 2023 Farpoint 40, since they both have been just upgraded, to help us decide which to get now please? thanks in advance and keep up your great work!
The new gran handle at the top looks handy (the one by the osprey logo). The airscape back is a huge plus, but why didn’t they make the entire rear panel like this?
The new Osprey Sojourn Porter does not have lockable zippers for the main compartment anymore. The video from the Osprey website shows that the new backpack still has the lockable zipper but I saw the actual product at a store and there is no lockable zipper for the main compartment of the new backpack. Can you confirm that for me? Thank you.
Mine does not have a locking zipper on the main compartment, only on the laptop compartment. I watched that product video on their website and you're right, it's showing a locking zipper.
how does it compare to the Daylight 26+6? looking for something that can fit under the seat, but the daylight has no compression straps and the back system seems simpler. in general, can you fit the same amount of things into both of them? Volume is nice but its not always the case which how things line up. Also, as far as colors go, have you seen the green one irl? what color would you say it looks like?
Daylight is a great personal item bag, it's small but if you can make it work it's great. You can fit more into the Sojourn. I ordered this online but I think I've seen the green one at REI, maybe like a darker minty green?
It should fit under most airline seats, but it's very tight to get it into a sizer box and will depend on your airlines dimensions. Underpack it if you try.
I have the original 46 litre Porter and then added the 30 litre.. and I have a love/hate relationship with my Porters. The 1st porter was an obvious mistake as it was too large for my female 5'4" frame but I still use it as a incredibly durable bag. I call them straight-jackets as the the compression straps are so different than my hiking Ospreys. I have rolled the 46 down the stairs of staircases! I prefer no waterbottle pocket as I prefer to clip a carabiner on my bag. I like as few as possible pockets which is one of the reasons I didn't like the porter to begin with as the original opening gets complicated and I even color coded the zipper pulls. .. Interesting updates and I'm glad there's still a market but I'll stick to my to originals! They've been around the world and back! Cheers!!
@@OneBagTravels I purchased after seeing travelers from Australia with them. The 46 took some getting used to but by the time I chose 28 I knew the design worked for me! Great video, thanks!
The measurements in their website are quite strange. 17.5” x 14.6” x 10.6”. You’re measuring it a bit longer, and less wide/deep. Very misleading, thanks for showing real world measurements with a typical load.
Looking forward to the full review! Does it have lock holes on the main compartment's zippers, like the new Farpoint does? And how about on the laptop compartment?
Yes on the laptop, no on the main and front compartments. There are a few loops on the front of the pack you could lock the zippers to, also easy to use a Nite Ize micro lock to just lock the zipper pulls together.
@@OneBagTravels Interesting. The 46L bags I’ve seen locally didn’t have any lockable zippers whatsoever while on Osprey’s official product video they’re shown to be on the main compartment only!
@@orangutan29 Interesting, maybe it's different on the 46 model? Older Porter has lockable zippers on main and laptop, the new 30 has just locking on laptop.
Hi from Japan! Thanks you so much for this video. Since there is not much info about osprey here, it was really helpful. So is this "Osprey Porter Sojourn Edition" an upgraded model of the "Porter Edition"? I wanted "Porter 46" so bad but it seems to be no longer available here, so I was looking for an alternative.
Yep, the Osprey Sojourn Porter is their 2023 update to the standard Osprey Porter. Osprey names their bags based on the fabric, instead of a style. So they have several "Sojourn" bags of all different styles, but with the same fabric. I think their naming convention is confusing, but it's the way they decided to do it.
@@OneBagTravels I see now. Got it, thanks! Honestly I prefer to the standard Osprey Porter's design but maybe this Sojourn one is gonna be the perfect alternative to me. Looking forward to watching how you’ll pack this one!
Question, can you tuck in the hip strap while the using the shoulder straps? From what it looks like, it's like you can only wear the shoulder straps while the hip strap is out cause that's where the buckle is, correct?
You can tuck most of it away. The hip belt padding has a seam "hinge" the buckle is attached to the inside of the seam. The hip belt padding folds on the seam and you can tuck the strap and most of the padding behind the back padding so there's only a little a couple inches of it sticking out.
I haven't tried the Trek but it looks like it has a more comfortable carry system, like backpacking harness style, but it's too big for a carry-on, you'd probably have to check it. Porter is more minimalist, can use as a carry on, but it won't be as comfortable.
It has fabric loops sewn into the pack that work well when the straps are shorter, like when the bag is full. But if it's underpacked or you cinch it down a lot the straps stick out and strap keepers would be nice here.

Thank you for the short, to the point video. Was all I needed to know, without a 20 minute dissertation on the bag.
Glad you like it

I caved and ordered one - will hand my 2020 version down to my son. 😂
Good stuff! When is the full review coming out? I´m inbetween this and the Patagonia Blackhole 32L, tis a tough choice!
I'm plannning on a more detailed comparison video soon. Oh and a new Patagoina Black Hole pack just dropped (th-cam.com/video/Y7dgVWlMNOs/w-d-xo.html)
I’m so excited to watch how you’ll pack this one! I want to look for a carry on backpack, and this porter looks awesome! 😮
I like the duffel style packing, can hold a lot
Love your videos, thanks a lot for sharing. This look like the perfect backpack!
Great, glad you like the video, it's one of my new favorites
An updated Farpoint 40 vs this updated Porter comparison please! If only this has the carry system of the Farpoint it would be near perfect for me
I agree, that would be a good video!

Would really love to see your thoughts on the new Matador Seg45 and GlobeRider bags if you ever get the opportunity!
I've reviewed the SEG30 but not the GlobeRider yet

Great suggestion, I'll definitely do that
The new gran handle at the top looks handy (the one by the osprey logo). The airscape back is a huge plus, but why didn’t they make the entire rear panel like this?
I agree, they should have made the air vent panel bigger.
can you please go more in depth on the Sojourn
I definitely will in the next comparison video

Oh man the older Porter was on my radar for so long but in the end I went with Topo Designs Mountain Pack 28. No regrets but the updates look great!
Topo makes great gear too 🤷♂️
Thanks for this video! Could you explain what the two small buckle receivers are for at the top of the bag?
Ah yes, those are for the load adjustor straps! They detach so you can tuck the shoulder straps away.
Thank you for this review! Does the packing bean volume test also match 30L?
I didn't do it for this bag yet but I'm sure it does, it's a large bag and looks similar in volume to other 30L bags I own.
Ciao, le cinghie lombari possono essere rimosse?
Does this backpak fit under seat in a plane?
It should fit under most airline seats, but it's very tight to get it into a sizer box and will depend on your airlines dimensions. Underpack it if you try.

One question please...Can the lumbar harness be removed? Thanks a lot
No, it has a foam pad for support that's sewn into the bag permanently.

Bag measurement is tricky because it's squishy so can be bigger or smaller than listed dimensions if under or over packed 🤷🏼

Fairview trek 50 VS Sojourn
an opinion?
I'm hesitating between the two
I haven't tried the Trek but it looks like it has a more comfortable carry system, like backpacking harness style, but it's too big for a carry-on, you'd probably have to check it. Porter is more minimalist, can use as a carry on, but it won't be as comfortable.
@@OneBagTravels thanks 😁
This external horizontal straps just scream for strap keepers, don’t they?
It has fabric loops sewn into the pack that work well when the straps are shorter, like when the bag is full. But if it's underpacked or you cinch it down a lot the straps stick out and strap keepers would be nice here.
Ironically they sell it as carry on, even the 46L one …
30 is a good size but 46 is a little too large for me
Hi! Does the bag stand up on its own?
Yes, the bottom is flat and ridgid so it stand up on it's own pretty easily.
