I received this bag as a Christmas gift last year and I love it. I especially love the shoe pocket (sometimes for a change of shoes, other times for a rain jacket), the rain cover, the sunglasses pocket, and the key ring/elastic (no more digging for keys!) It's super roomy - I can easily carry a change of clothes, a decent-sized lunch bag, and a change of shoes, along with all my daily stuff (phone, keys, wallet, etc) with no problems.

Momentum 32 I use this pack for 3 month now, not on a daily basis, but often, and just returned from Germany using as my day pack. Understand this backpack was designed for bike commute, but it should be possible to be used a a day pack while commuting to the office and not as a "messenger" bag. While the main compartment is spacious, with or without the secondary compartment used, the very strange side pockets and compression strap design limits the performance and usefulness of the pack. Due to the compression strap the lap top compartment has a limited opening, the compression strap does very little and can not be called a compression strap and the side mesh pockets seem to smaller, even they look bigger than on the Comet 32. The open mesh/nylon design not only limits the stretch and after two uses the mesh is already broken (a normal water bootle - the Comet has the same problem - the mesh quality seems to be a lower quality standard as the rest of the pack & the pack was not overloaded) but it also limits the use of the very small front compartment. The front compartment is poor - the zipper pocket for wallet etc is very small, the two mesh pockets are deep but the top elastic is too loose an items easily slip out. There is not single pen holder. Change the questionable side mesh pocket construction, and add the front organiser from the Comet and we got a nice 27/7 bag. Not easy to keep the pack standing upright. The top carry handle looks and feels thougher than the one on the Comet - I prefer the Momentum 32 version/construction. The carrying straps with the elastic are nice addition and make a heavy load easy to carry. All in all the main compartment and the elastic carry system are the plus of the pack, laptop and front compartment are an addition, but less useful than on other Osprey packs. The side mesh pockets - not sure if I wanna use them while riding a bike - afraid of things falling out - The don't look convincing
