原文： I needed a comfortable daily backpack that could fit multiple needs from work/laptop gear, to camera gear, to my weekly day hikes with my dog. While this almost fulfills all of these things, the Osprey Pandion falls short in quality in nearly every category compared to other cheaper packs. This is
essentially the equivalent to any other backpack you can grab at Walmart for $30-$50, but has some spandex pockets sewn on, the mesh back, and a kickstand.
I also want to add that I did a TON of research to find the best Osprey back for my needs and this is what I ended up with. Something else to note (if anyone is wondering) is that this is almost the exact same thing as the Nebula, but doesn't have the middle compartment.
v-v-v-v-v---Old bag details and new needs---v-v-v-v-v
I've been using the same Astro Gaming MLG Scout backpack ($99 in 2009) since college and now for work (7 years) and that backpack is the best i've ever owned. I also own one of Jansport's day-hiking packs ($50-$60 in 2012 not to be confused with the cheap modern school bags) that's about the same height and price but expands to be quite a bit bigger. Currently I use one of the Sea to Summit ultralight daypacks ($50) for day-hikes. That's not including my Granite Gear 55L which is irrelevant here as it's for camping trips.
Problems:
- The Jansport is way too bulky for my taste and isn't aesthetically pleasing for work (ugly green).
- My daypack is too small and fragile to safely hold my camera gear when I hike, not to mention it doesn't accommodate a water bladder. It compacts into the size of a fist, so protection isn't expected.
- The Astro was built to hold an Xbox, controllers, games, etc. and nothing else, so it's not ideal as the slot I put the laptop in is meant for the thickness of an Xbox and not a laptop. Also too compact to hold my camera gear and I would never take it on a day hike. Other than that, the quality, size, security, etc. is what I wanted out of my new pack.
v-v-v-v-v---Pandion Details---v-v-v-v-v
Pros:
- Looks cool and has the Osprey logo, therefore making me *feel* cool
- Tight laptop compartment. Compared to the gaming bag, my laptop actually holds tight and I use the tablet slot for my organizer.
- Plenty of space for storage, even for an overnight or two. Compared to the Osprey Nebula that has the middle compartment, the "large space" for storage is shared with the main compartment with the laptop slot. I was incredibly worried my 5in wide camera insert wouldn't fit, but it fits snuggly (almost too snug) if the pack is expanded fully. I imagine even with my camera insert that stands about 5 in high, I could still fit in a couple of days of clothes and basic toiletries.
Cons:
- Uncomfortable: I can't believe it, but this pack just isn't comfortable. The straps are thinner and aren't as soft as my gaming backpack or even the Jansport. It also sits a little odd on my lower back thanks to the kickstand. Literally, all 4 of my bags mentioned are more comfortable. The shoulder straps are not near what I expected and are lesser quality than the Jansport and Astro. The chest/hip straps are standard 1in nylon that you get on pretty much any backpack that has them.
- Poor Quality for price: Everything feels cheap/thin - With it being a hiking bag that holds a computer and tablet, I expected everything inside to be thick and soft/absorbant, but my gaming bag i've used daily for 7 years still is thicker/softer and more protective than this. The pockets sewn to the inside are paper thin and have absolutely no protection at all should you want to put a phone or anything important in them. Even the laptop sleeve only has about half a centimeter of thickness and bounces off the mesh on your back.
- Mesh ended up being a con: While the raised mesh is cool and all for the heat (pun intended), It takes away from the comfort of a nice soft foam snug to your back. The pack essentially floats an inch or so off the mesh. Worst of all, and this may be a deal breaker, is that if you bounce (say hopping up or down a step), your back stretches the mesh and hits the back of the pack, which hits your laptop, considering there's maybe half a centimeter of padding. I honestly can't believe they thought adding the mesh made it acceptable to have such a thin back. I will likely purchase a neoprene laptop sleeve to go with this.
- Bigger than expected: I was essentially expecting a similar portfolio size as my gaming bag, but the kickstand defeats any idea of a compact look. It's in between my large Jansport and the gaming bag in terms of bulkiness. Super glad I did not get the Nebula. It is also about 4-5 inches taller than my Astro bag.
- Access: To access the main compartment with laptop, you have to unbuckle 2 buckles and uncover the zipper. The front compartment also has to be unbuckled and the sunglasses compartment has to be uncovered too. This seems petty but makes a noticable difference when you're used to just unzipping whenver you want. Another huge con for me is that the main compartment doesn't unzip far enough. The zipper is approx. 11 inches from the bottom of the bag, so it's really difficult to get into anything at the bottom considering the rest of the bag is so tight. The front compartment unzips about 2-3 inches further, but has less space, so is still difficult to access anything lying in the bottom. Also, because of the overlapping of the main compartment zip, it covers the laptop/tablet compartment making your laptop rub against the zipper anytime you add/remove it. If this was water resistant, some of these details would be pros, but its not.
All-in-all, you can get a Jansport of equal or better quality for half the price. This is my first Osprey and was a significant purchase for me after using the same daily bag for so long. I'm super bummed. I really hope not all Osprey is getting away with this.

我需要一个舒适的日常背包，可以满足多种需求，从工作/笔记本电脑设备，相机设备，到我每周和我的狗一起远足。虽然这几乎满足了所有这些东西，但与其他更便宜的包相比，Osprey Pandion在几乎所有种类的质量上都有所不足。这基本上相当于你在沃尔玛(Walmart)以30- 50美元的价格买到的任何其他背包，但上面缝了一些弹力袋，有网眼，还有一个支架。 我还想补充一点，我做了大量的研究来找到最好的Osprey来满足我的需求，这就是我最终得到的结果。还有一件值得注意的事(如果有人想知道的话)是，这几乎和 Nebula是一样的，但没有中间隔间。
v-v-v---旧的包细节和新的需求---v-v-v-v-v -v
从上大学到现在工作(7年)，我一直在使用同一款Astro Gaming MLG Scout背包(2009年售价99美元)，这款背包是我拥有过的最好的。我还拥有Jansport的一款日间徒步背包(2012年的价格是50- 60美元，不要和廉价的现代学校包混淆了)，它的高度和价格都差不多，但尺寸会大一些。目前，我用其中的一个Sea to Summit超轻型背包(50美元)进行一天的远足。这还不包括我的Granite Gear 55L ，这和露营没什么关系。 问题: -在我看来，Jansport太笨重了，不适合工作(难看的绿色)。 -我的背包太小了，太脆弱了，当我徒步旅行的时候无法安全的拿住我的相机，更不用说它不能容纳一个水囊。它被压缩成拳头大小，所以不需要保护。 - Astro的功能是容纳一个Xbox，控制器，游戏等等，没有其他功能，所以它不是理想的，因为我把笔记本放在这个插槽里是为了Xbox而不是笔记本的厚度。也太紧凑了，拿不动我的相机，我永远不会在一天的徒步旅行中用到它。除此之外，质量、尺寸、安全性等都是我想要的。
v-v-v-v-v-Pandion细节-v-v-v-v-v
优点: -看起来很酷，有鱼鹰的标志，所以让我觉得很酷 紧笔记本隔间。与游戏包相比，我的笔记本电脑放的更牢固，我用平板电脑插槽作为我的组织者。 -足够的空间储存，即使是一两个晚上。与有中间隔间的 Osprey Nebula 相比，储存的“大空间”与有笔记本电脑插槽的主隔间共享。我非常担心我的5英寸宽的相机插入不适合，但它非常合适（几乎太舒适)，如果包装充分扩大。我想，即使我的相机插孔有5英寸高，我仍然可以放进去穿了几天的衣服和基本的洗漱用品。
缺点: -不舒服:我不敢相信，但这包实在不舒服。背带更薄，不像我的游戏背包甚至是Jansport那么软。多亏了支架，它在我的下背部有点奇怪。实际上，我提到的4个包都比它更舒服。肩带和我预想的不太一样，质量也不如Jansport和Astro。胸/臀带是标准的尼龙1，你几乎可以找到任何比它好的背包。 -看起来很廉价的质量:所有的东西都感觉便宜/薄-它是一个徒步旅行包，可以装电脑和平板电脑，我希望里面的东西都是厚的和软的/抗压层，我的游戏包我已经用了7年了，仍然比这个更厚/软和更有保护。缝在里面的口袋是纸一样薄，如果你想在里面放手机或任何重要的东西，完全没有任何保护。即使是笔记本电脑的套筒也只有大约0.5厘米的厚度，从你背部的网眼上弹回来。 -网眼最终是一个骗局:虽然凸起的网眼很酷，而且完全是为了保暖(双关语)，但它带走了紧贴你的背部的舒适的柔软泡沫。这个包裹基本上漂浮在离网孔一英寸左右的地方。最糟糕的是，如果你跳起来(比如跳上或跳下一个台阶)，你的背部会拉伸网眼并碰到电脑的背部，这会碰到你的笔记本电脑。老实说，我不敢相信他们认为增加网眼使它可以应对这么薄的背部。我可能会买一个氯丁橡胶的笔记本套筒来搭配它。 -比预想的要大:我本来想要一个和我的游戏包差不多大小的组合，但是这个支架完全否定了紧凑外观的想法。它介于我的大的Jansport和游戏包之间。非常高兴我没有得到星云。它也比我的Astro bag高4-5英寸。 - 进入方式:要使用笔记本电脑进入主隔间，你必须解开2个扣子，打开拉链。前隔室也必须解开，太阳镜隔室也必须揭开。这看起来很琐碎，但是当你习惯了在任何你想要的时候打开拉链的时候，就会有明显的不同。对我来说，另一个大问题是主隔层开锁不够远。拉链约距离袋子底部11英寸，所以很难进入任何底部，因为袋子的其他部分太紧了。前隔间进一步拉开约2-3英寸，但空间更小，所以仍然很难放入任何躺在底部的东西。此外，由于主隔间拉链的重叠，它覆盖了笔记本电脑/平板电脑隔间，使你的笔记本电脑摩擦拉链，任何时候你添加/移除它都不是很方便。如果这是防水的，其中的一些细节会是优点，但它不是。
总之，你可以以半价买到同等质量或更好的Jansport。这是我的第一个Osprey，在我每天使用同样的袋子这么长时间后，对我来说是一次很重要的购买经历。我非常难过。我真的希望不是所有的Osprey都是如此。
