Osprey Packs Porter 90 Backpack - 5500cu in description

The large, versatile Osprey Porter 90 Backpack has the storage capacity you need for big trips and includes features to get you through the airport and onto your destination. The massive 5,500cu inch main compartment holds a week's worth of gear with ease, and several internal mesh pockets keep it organized. Stash smaller items in the top pocket, and keep reading material in the front slot for quick access to ward off boredom at a layover. Osprey made the Porter 90 Backpack's waist-belt and shoulder straps stowable to keep them from snagging in an airport conveyor and the zippers lockable to keep out thieves.

Bottom Line: Osprey helps you pack for gear-heavy trips with the spacious, well-designed Porter 90 Backpack.

This thing is huge! I bought it for traveling with climbing gear, and I can throw everything in there with room to spare, including another pack for actually hauling the stuff around. As a travel pack, it's got some nice features other than the cavernous size. The shoulder straps and the hipbelt can be tucked away so that when you give it to the throwers, I mean baggage handlers, there is nothing extra dangling around getting caught or banged up. It compresses nicely, and when it's in luggage mode it's quite streamlined. Then when you go to grab it off the baggage carousel, there are beefy grips, which you'll appreciate, since you'll probably max out the weight. However, forget about hiking around with it except to/from your transport. The hipbelt has no padding - it's just a layer of nylon. At home I use it for storing gear - it can replace a small closet for that.

This is a great pack for those who are not going to do much hiking, and are looking for a giant bag to store there stuff. Its a great pack for an extended trip, but if you are planning on doing any walking, look further. The straps cut into your shoulders and the back support is minimal at best.
