No connoisseur here either, but I am in dire need of a new one for work, as my current one is falling apart. I'm keeping my eyes open, in case I find one that matches these specs:
I'm leaning towards getting one of those pilot backpack, as they're built for people who are on the go.
The reason I'm an Osprey fan is because of the lifetime warranty for any reason, which impressively I've never had to use. And I abuse my gear outdoors.
But I'd imagine if you are doing tech carrying over everything else, you want something more specialized/padded. I try to find lighter gear.
When I have loads or large hardware I usually check in a pelicase or two. The backpack is mostly for short-term in-transit stuff plus bits and pieces I usually need for short stays.
Osprey looks nice - I'll see if they have something that suits my needs
Does the company that bought Osprey still honor the warranty?
