About this deal
In fact, I’d go as far as recommending using this bag as a duffel at least 75% of the time… if not more! If you are a hiker or camper who likes to trek 9 miles into the woods to find a camping spot – look elsewhere.
Tip #4 – The Osprey Transporter 95 is NOT for you if you are a Digital Nomad or carrying lots of fragile tech gearIt’s basically indestructible. That said, the Waterproofing is not the best we have seen. Then again, this is not a hiking bag and not designed for long exposure to the elements. So if you are in the market for a Superman-esque bag that can thrive in any environment or conditions… the Osprey Transporter 95 is a great fit. The Transporter’s main compartment isn’t flashy (there are a few features), it’s mostly just a big space to put all of your stuff.
The first thing I noticed is how incredibly rugged and durable all the materials are, from strong zips, water-resistant materials and tough handles which almost encourage you to throw the holdall around. It’s important to remember that this bag is water-resistant and not waterproof. While it will protect your belongings if you get caught in a rainstorm we can promise it won’t be as effective if you submerge it with water.As a sports bag the Transporter 65L has a deceptive amount of space. That means you won’t have to struggle to stuff your towel, change of clothes, etc. and worry about crushing your lunch or whatever slightly more fragile item. This has its virtues for travel too.
The seams are all internally reinforced with an extra layer of material making them more durable and preventing moisture from entering. As we’ve mentioned, the Osprey Transporter is a duffel bag first, and it’s made of some incredibly durable materials (more on this in a bit). While it might sound tempting to carry this around the world and just throw your gear in it, you’ll be sacrificing a lot of peace of mind, and risking damaging your fragile goods. That’s not where the Osprey 95 Transporter excels.
HOLDALL / BACKPACK HYBRID
The Transported is made out of a 400D Nylon with a double-layered coating of TPU — not only is this fabric incredibly tough, but also abrasion and highly water-resistant, meaning that you can take it wherever, whenever and it will still look great for years to come. The Osprey Transporter 95 is perfect for you if you are looking for an all-purpose durable duffel bag
