Osprey Ozone 2-Wheel 40L/21.5" Carry-On Rolling Luggage, Black

Product Information

I love this fabric; it’s so lightweight and one of my favorite features from Osprey. You need a bag that can handle the wear and tear of full-time travel. Just in case, Osprey has a lifetime warranty, which is an important feature to look for when buying luggage. In fact, that slash compartment was so surprisingly roomy that I was able to fit my Canon EF-S 70-200mm telephoto lens with the lens hood attached in there, and it still had room for my sunglasses.

And I think I was right. My Osprey Ozone is already incredibly durable – I would actually be really surprised if it ripped or the wheels damaged anytime soon. Yep. I’ve been there too. In recent years, the ability to travel with just carry-on luggagehas become increasingly important. And I say long-term travel because Osprey is a specific kind of a bag; it’s made for more of an outdoor and adventure trip. I’m not saying that you can’t use this brand on other travels but it really met my needs as a long-term traveller, and I’ll explain why in a moment. Make sure that whichever suitcase you choose, it has a great handle. I love the handle on this bag. It’s a single handle, which is a bit more lightweight than a double handle. People tend to like single versus double handles; they have different pros and cons. We’ve gone through repurposing Camelbaks, business travel bags, duffle bags, etc. to try to pull off this dual purpose, but none have done it quite like the oldie-but-goodie version of the Ozone 46.In this Osprey Ozone 46 review I’ll walk through all the features and will show you the pros and cons and what I’ve put this suitcase through. Read my Osprey Ozone 46 review (or watch the video at the end of the post). Find out the pros and cons and what features you should consider when choosing your own suitcase! And I actually prefer my luggage not to have a bunch of compartments. This is the perfect amount as I find internal compartments to be restricting. Without them I get to design how I use the space in my own suitcase. The less your bag weighs, the more stuff you can put inside it while staying under the weight limit. So regardless of which suitcase size you choose, try to find something that’s not more than 5 pounds, if possible. I’ve taken it as carry-on luggage for two-week trips to MalaysiaandThailandand found it spacious enough to accommodate my gear with ease.

Here’s why this bag is awesome and why it works for my long-term travels. You’ll find my Osprey Ozone 46 review below and you can also watch the video here. Are there any other features you’d want me to discuss in this Osprey Ozone 46 review? Share in the comments! Between the front and main compartments is the so-called “slash” compartment, whose interior is treated with material that prevents scratches for things like sunglasses, a smart phone, or even a tablet. Propelling it along pavements is a joy thanks to its ergonomic T-shaped handle and smooth wheels. Cobblestone streets? Not a problem. As a long-term traveler, my suitcase was basically my home; everything I own was in there! So if anything went wrong with my suitcase, it was a big deal. It can’t fall apart.

Value

The main difference between the Osprey Ozone vs the Soujourn is the size. The Soujourn is 80 liters instead of the Ozone’s 75 liters. The Soujourn also has some extra hooks for clipping things on the bag, as well as a detachable ventilated suspension system that is more advanced than the Ozone’s suspension system.

The Ozone also comes with a suspension system, so I think it’s probably better for carrying than the Meridian. I mean, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend taking this on a multi-day hiking trip when you know you’ll be carrying it the entire time, but I’ve also had no problems when I’ve had to carry it.I first used it on a group tourof Sri Lankain 2016 and it has been a frequent travelling companion ever since. Its generous capacitymakes it the perfect choice for longer trips. And this is terrible for adventurer travelers like myself who still don’t want to compromise on hiking capabilities as well as camera-carrying (photography) capabilities. Final Thoughts / Conclusion Large grippywheels are secured in a lightweight ABS plastic high clearance base with integrated foot bar/grab handle and will keep running smoothly thanks to the high traction rubberandsealed bearings.

I’m brutal with my bag and my gear, because I want to make sure–when I recommend a product to my readership at Travel Fashion Girl–that I can wholeheartedly say this is a great product. So you’ll actually see the damage that I have done to this bag over the years in these photos. Over the course of 4 years of use, I’ve taken it traveling while fitting my DSLR holster bag and laptop case together quite handily. Looking right into the front zippered compartment of the Osprey Ozone 46When I ran an Osprey Ozone and Meridian comparison, the main two differences were weight and whether or not the shoulder and hip straps were detachable. While the Osprey Ozone weighs 6.93 pounds (3.14 kg), the Osprey Soujourn weighs 8.97 pounds (4.07 kg), which is quite a bit more. And again, the Soujourn’s shoulder and waist straps detach, while the Ozone’s do not (but like I said before, I actually like that they aren’t detachable). There’s loads of space in this bag. As I mentioned before, I used this for traveling every single day, 24 hours a day, for months at a time. So I know you guys don’t need a bigger suitcase than this!
