As an Osprey superfan and
As an Osprey superfan and proud owner of several of your backpacks, I wanted to share my perspective on my latest purchase: the Archeon™ 30.
I bought it for weekend trips and 2-3 day office commutes, and here's my feedback:
The backpack feels a bit too heavy.
It's also quite rigid.
Most importantly, all the zippers are too stiff, especially along the curve of the main compartment. I understand they're watertight, which is great for protection, but this type of zipper, particularly on a curve, makes it really annoying to open and close.
Honestly, for a backpack of this price and caliber, I expected a higher level of overall quality and usability.
