Comet 30

I have an Osprey comet 32l, and while the build quality is exceptional, it can also drive me up a wall with some of its design choices. It feels like I can’t even get 28l of actual capacity out of it.

I don't see this bag mentioned often but I bought an Osprey Comet for short business trips, and I'm very happy with it. It's very similar to the Osprey Nebula which seems more popular, so you might consider that one too. I prefer the Comet because it a bit smaller (30L vs 32L), weighs a bit less (1.

Are you in the USA? A backpack with a chest strap or sternum strap will help keep the weight more evenly balanced and keep the bag closer to your body, so hopefully less likely to knock things over.

I’m a 5’7” woman and I’ve got the Osprey comet and a north face recon. The comet and the nebula and more or less the same size, but with a shove it pocket or a handle in the front. I’d say the comet is a bit tall (the straps don’t come from the top of the back panel but rather an icy or two below) w

Osprey Comet! I basically the Nebula but without the shove it pocket. I have the Recon too but it is heavy and I don’t like the back panel
