Osprey Packs FlapJack Pack
Description
Keep your work and school commutes uncluttered and uncomplicated with this Osprey Flap Jack pack. It's sleek and clean on the outside, but still offers plenty of organizational storage features on the inside, including a padded laptop computer sleeve that accommodates laptop models with screens up to 17 inches. The Osprey Flap Jack Pack is also a practical airline or high-speed train carryon alternative to compact backcountry backpacks that are often wrapped up with gear loops and bungee cords that can catch or snag on anything protruding from the underside of passenger seats. Along the padded left strap you'll find ear bud router clips that keep your headphones or ear bud wires from bouncing around while you walk or trot to your destination. Flip open the lid and you'll find a drawcord collar closure that helps minimize rain and snow penetration during your adventures across town.

After using a large Timbuk 2 messenger bag on and off for many years, it was time to get something else. Don't get me wrong, I really like messenger bags, but I think they contribute to back and neck problems.
This bag is awesome! Typical Osprey quality. I am 5'9'', 180lbs, athletic build, and this bag fits extremely well. It easily holds a days worth of "stuff"; for me this usually consists of a three-ring binder or two, macbook, a few notebooks, a folder or two, a rain jacket, and a water bottle. That's it. Carries what I need and not much else. It's also highly water resistant. If I needed a larger bag I would look to the Metron 35.
Overall, great bag, I would highly recommend to friends/ family.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Perfect Fit

Love it! My girlfriend uses this pack everyday. She is a small person and it fits very well on her frame.
Exactly what I needed

I was looking for a sturdy pack for work (laptop) and weekend pleasure and this pack fits the bill. The one thing I dont like about the other packs is all the things that hang off of them as they always get caught on bicycle racks, motorcycle luggage and are always flapping around. This pack has limited straps and such that cause problem. The waste band and chest straps can be removed. The laptop slot is huge, much larger than my 15.4 MAC (I think I may be able to fit is vertical and horizontal). Actually the pack is very wide and I thought this would be a problem but as I broke it in it slimmed down a bit. I had it in the rain the other day and everything stayed dry. I only wish it had one more small pocket for cell phone and keys. It has about 5 or so pockets....this is what I wanted (not alot of zippers and such) but I wish there was one more quick access small pocket. Shipping from Altrec was immediate and quick.

It doesn't get any better than Osprey when it comes to backpacks. I'm a petite female who usually has trouble with the strap positioning on backpacks but Osprey gets it. Even though this bag is technically for guys the minimalistic design makes it usable and incredibly comfortable for me. This bag is not only comfortable but practical as well. It holds a ton of stuff along with my macbook pro and I don't have to worry about anything getting wet on my walk or bike ride to class/work. And of course, it looks a lot better than your typical backpack (North Face). Highly recommended!

Sizing Chart
Osprey Packs Sizing Chart
Step 1 - Pack Sizing
All Osprey packs, save the transit bags, are available in multiple sizes to fit a range of torso lengths. To find your torso length, have a friend measure your back along the spine from the level of your iliac crest (the top of your hipbones) to your C7 (the knobby bone at the base of your neck).
Step 2 - Hipbelt Sizing
To determine your hipbelt size measure around your hips, not your waist. A properly fitted hipbelt rides centered over the hipbones and needs to be very snug; after all it will be carrying the bulk of the pack's weight. The padded portion should wrap well around your hips, leaving a gap of 3 to 6 inches between the tips of the pads when securely tightened.

ErgoPull
Nearly all Osprey hipbelts use an exclusive ErgoPull design. It creates mechanical advantage to provide extra leverage in cinching down the hipbelt. The ErgoPull design also draws tension along the top and bottom of the belt, not through the center, so it distributes pressure more evenly over the padding and relieves direct pressure on the hipbones.
Step 3 - Harness
Osprey Crescent & Luna, Aether & Ariel and Waypoint packs offer interchangeable shoulder harnesses. Harness sizing usually corresponds to pack size, but your best bet is to try one on. A properly fit harness should terminate 2 to 3" beneath the armpit. Webbing should not touch the body. By breaking the hook and loop connection and sliding the harness up and down the backpanel the torso length can be adjusted up to 3". (see illustration).

Step 4 - Overall Fit
Once you have the correct size pack, harness and hipbelt, and the torso length set properly, it's time to put some weight in the pack (20 to 30 pounds of well distributed weight will do) and dial in the fit. First, snug down the hipbelt and harness. Connect the sternum strap (A) - position it about 2 inches below your collarbones and snug it down lightly. Finally, tighten the load lifter straps to draw the load solidly against your back. The lift straps (B) should come off your shoulders at a 45 to 60 degree angle in Osprey's ReCurve and Ethereal Suspension packs. In other models these straps serve more as compression straps and ride flatter; they may even angle downwards.
In a good fit, there should be no pressure points and no gaps between your body and the pack. With Osprey's ReCurve packs, final tweaking may involve custom fitting the aluminum stays to your back.
