Sojourn Porter 30L Travel Pack

Has never had an issue with the Porter 30, which fits under the seat on every airline she has flown.

“I've never had an issue with the Osprey Porter 30. It fits under the seat on every airline I've flown on.”

Used the Porter 30L for a month in Europe and found it perfect; uses it for 10-14 day trips.

“I used my Osprey Porter 30L for a month trip to Europe, and it was perfect (I'm a woman, but also 5'11).”

Sized down from the Fairview to the Porter 30L for weekend trips.

“I sized down from the Fairview to the Osprey Porter 30L for weekend trips.”

Bought the Porter 30 as a safer carry-on but finds it very round and turtle-like, so it won't fit sizers if stuffed.

“I got the Osprey Porter 30 in part because some website said a 40L is “often” a carry on but a 30L is “almost always” a carry on.”

Checked the Porter 30 without issues; it got a bit wet on a tarmac in a downpour but the contents were fine.

“checked my porter 30 (v similar to the fairview 40) before with no issues.”

Chose the Porter 30 over a 40L bag that looked too big and says it seems great so far.

“I ended up going with the Osprey Porter 30. I couldn't justify the cost of the Techonaut.”

Has used the Porter 30L a ton, one-bagging 2+ weeks at 5'9"; likes the compression straps, though the chest strap can be awkward.

“I have the osprey Porter 30L and I’ve used it a ton! I like the compression straps to suck everything in and keep it closer to your body.”

Uses a Porter 30 for weekend trips and calls it a nice bag, though she takes her Farpoint for heavier or bulkier gear.

“I do use a Porter 30 for weekend trips and it is a nice bag but will use the Farpoint if I am taking along heavier or bulkier gear.”

Owns a Porter 30 bought for $50 and finds the outside padding annoying, so he rarely uses it over his Fairview.

“the porter has annoying outside padding over the bag. Everything can be tightened down just fine if you don’t fill it and can use packing cubes for extra tightness.”

Felt the Porter 30L was a lot better than the Cotopaxi 35L and was plenty happy with it.

“ended up getting the Osprey Porter 30L, which felt a lot better, and just recently sized down again to the Osprey Daylite 26+6L.”

Absolutely loves the Porter 30L: padded hip belt, load lifters and cinching; one-bagged 8 weeks in Asia with it.

“I ended up with the Osprey Sojourn Porter 30L and have absolutely loved it.”

Spent a month in Colombia with the Porter 30L at 6.9 kg, with a pair of shoes squeezed in.

“I spent a month in Colombia recently, with the Osprey 30L Porter, weight came in at 6.9kg, with a pair of shoes squeezed in & could definitely have packed a little better to fit”

Absolutely loves her Porter 30L and finds it comfortable even fully packed, with not one regret.

“I absolutely love my Osprey Porter Sojourner 30L. Even fully packed out it is comfortable.”

Has the Porter 30 and finds it pretty comfortable at her height.

“but I have that one (it looks like they may have updated the model).”

Has used the Porter 30L for years, including over a month on international trips, and finds it comfortable despite shoulder issues.

“I've had an Osprey Porter 30L for years. I know it's smaller, but I've never had an issue with it despite having shoulder issues.”

Has the Sojourn Porter 30: rigid like the Fairview, works as a carry-on but not a personal item, and the laptop sleeve wastes space.

“I have the Osprey sojourn porter 30. Similar to the Fairview it’s rigid. It does not fit a personal item size, it does work for carry-on.”

Had the Porter 30 and found it just ok: so much of the capacity is padding, fabric and straps, and not great to wear in transit.

“Agreed, I had the porter 30, it was ok, but bulky and so much of the capacity is just bag, with all the padding, fabric, and straps.”

Likes the size of the Porter 30 but is debating returning it as it feels overbuilt and the side fabric attracts pet hair.

“I just bought a Porter 30 and am debating returning it. I like the size, but I agree with you, it almost seems overbuilt and the fabric for the straightjacket sides attracts fuzzies and”

Really likes the Sojourn Porter 30L: hip straps help with heavy loads and all straps stow away, though the water bottle sleeve is not great.

“I have the osprey sojourn porter 30l. I don't have a lot to compare it to but i really like it. It doesn't have a great water bottle sleeve but”

Owns the Sojourn Porter 30 (kids have the Patagonia Mini MLC): well made and comfortable for a short person, but the rigid compression panels flop over the main compartment, the laptop pocket is nearly unusable when full, and the Patagonia was much easier to pack and stow.

“My main complaint was that I really disliked the compression panels on the Porter - they are very rigid and make it hard to pack the bag (they want to”
