My wife and I have used the Shuttle bags to transport our scuba diving gear and all other necessities, when we go diving to many different places around the world. These bags are easy to pack, yet lightweight - which is very important since airlines often want us to keep our total luggage weight under 50 pounds. With these bags, we can easily pack all our scuba gear, clothes, and other stuff, and still be under 50 pounds. The bags are also very strong and rugged which is important to us as our luggage not only goes on/off airplanes, but also on/off boats, boat docks. (Going scuba diving is NOT the same as going to a nice hotel. Rather, it is often a more rugged environment). Our bags have performed flawlessly. We also have (only) Osprey bag for hiking, as well as more casual travel. The Osprey bags were originally recommended to us by a fellow traveler (who was also a world traveler). Needless to say, that recommendation was 'spot on' and we have enjoyed and appreciated our Osprey for many years now.

My family purchased a similar Osprey bag several years ago that was nice and lightweight, but needed some adjustments regarding easy access/loading. This bag fixed everything AND was lighter (not to mention a GREAT color that so easy to spot in baggage claim!)...and then was drug right back down because the wheeling handle is as short as it is in the picture, making it a miserable bag to wheel around and travel with. Not sure why the designers landed on such a terrible feature, but it ruins the whole bag and keeps me from purchasing a second bag for myself.

My wife and I have used these bags on many overseas trips. We usually travel for 3 weeks at a time and we can pack 3 weeks of clothes and essentials (even winter clothes) without a problem. You could actually exceed 50 lbs of stuff. We use packing cubes and that helps keep everything orderly. After many trips, we had one bag that the airlines bent the frame and the other they managed to rip a hole in the bottom. I sent them back to Osprey and they sent me two new ones. You can't beat that. I love Osprey and their bags!!!! They are also the perfect size for carrying onto trains. They have many grab handles too.

I purchased a Shuttle 36" for a drop everything/turn on a dime cross country move in January. It allowed me to carry winter essentials and more. It serves as my trunk in my new temporary location. And when I have to pack out overseas it will be with me again keeping my belongings secure and properly packed away. Its the perfect gear hauler.
