Which size should I get?

Choose 30L or 40L for carry-on and weekends, 65L for checked travel, and 95L or larger for expeditions and gear hauling. Match the size to how much you carry and whether you need to fly with it.

Can it be carried as a backpack?

Most sizes have stowable backpack straps, so you can wear it or carry it by the handles. The largest sizes are heavy when full, so backpack carry is best for short distances.

The nylon is weather-resistant and handles light rain, but it is not a dry bag. Use a rain cover or dry bags for sustained rain or water sports.

How does it compare with the Osprey Transporter Carry-On?

The standard Transporter is a simpler duffel with fewer travel features. The Carry-On version adds travel-specific organization and meets carry-on limits in its smaller size.

The duffel comes with its shoulder strap and, on most sizes, stowable backpack straps. It does not include packing cubes or a rain cover.
