Osprey replaced my old Osprey Parsec when it developed some internal coating tears. They were very helpful and offered an equivalent $ replacement. Then the customer service rep said the Parsec was coming back as a 26L vs the old 32L. But they didn't tell of the kickstand feature. Basically, it is an internal frame. So, no flex makes it difficult to kick under the seat of an airplane. Also, the rigidity also makes it tough to ram in the overhead. So, I tried the TNF Recon, heavy, stiff, not good. Bought the new Nebula 32L, love it.
I haven't used a hip belt since 1981 when I backpack the White Mountains in New Hampshire. Now I use a backpack for my personal care on with my Away larger suitcase for air travel. Once we get to our destination, I pull out the OSPREY REMNANT 17L for sight-seeing.
Great review! I was wondering if you had experience putting it under an airplane seat and if it’s too big or rigid to fit under there and still have good legroom? Thanks!
I should have seen this video before buying the updated version of Ospery Comet, those two bags look just the same except for small differences. The Parsec is an ideal one for me because of its simpler design, and its ability to stand on the ground. The Comet always slips and fall on the grount even if you packed a all lot of stuff in there. Thinking about switching to the Parsec.😂
I'm currently phasing my aestethic from tactical looking bags over to more minimalist bags. This one seems great and I love the name. I just can't get over the lack of bottom straps.
You won’t find bottom straps on a backpack that is designed for every day use in the city/travel. If you want bottom straps in order to attach things under it you need to be looking at a different category of backpacks. 😃
so yes and no. if u cram it up full, you will have to squish it under the seat. But the problem is that it's a tall bag so its going to stick out quite a bit. I would not recommend this bag to be put under a seat! FYI I have been using the tropos more than the Parsec lately. I just came back from a trip actually! I used the Tropos and the Wandrd Rogue which I put under my seat
I know i'm a bit late to the party, but i personally prefer the stuff pouch on the new tropos/parsec because i mostly use it to store my jumper for quick access, so the zip on the old one wouldnt suit my used case. Great review otherwise and very informative
Thanks so much for doing the video on this bag, Desy. I've been on the fence of whether to get this one, the new Tropos 32, the Osprey Axis 24, or the latest Osprey Radial. The Radial in particular seems like a good alternative to this bag because its unexpanded form is 26L, but can expand to 34L, & has a number of features similar to both the Parsec26 as well as the 2019 Tropos, like the kickstand & Airspeed back panel. Its back panel can also be adjusted for various heights, & the mesh pocket on the front is more usable than the zipped pocket on the Parsec 26. I originally went for the Tropos 34 instead of the Radial, but as a bike commuter who doesn't always need the full 34L I'm starting to regret not getting the Radial, so I'm interested in your thoughts. Thanks again! Great review!
thanks! I like how the radial can expand, however the biggest thing I don't like is the concealed water bottle pocket. If you have a rubberized water bottle, its much more difficult to get into into the pocket as theres too much friction. That's why I stuck with the tropos / parsec, where the water bottle pocket is open and much easier to access. I access those pockets a lot as I also put in sunscreen, kids water, or an umbrella
Osprey Comet is an interesting option if one doesn't like the flat opening of the Nebula..no worries if a zipper fails and it completely opens..but a handle instead of a front pocket..
Thank you very much for a great review - just wondering how do you see the Parsec in comparison with the Apogee that you reviewed previously? I will use the bag for EDC /day trip with kid/ flight travel and occasionally hike.
I much prefer this over the Apogee. I'm not a fan of the concealed water bottle pockets. Parsec also has that air mesh back panel, and parsec also stands up on its own!
It looks very similar to the nebula which I love, but I wish it had load lifters. The nebula is slightly bigger in capacity but it’s a well designed bag for my needs. This one would be a good choice if I was to go for a smaller backpack.
I'm curious how you would rate this vs the Radials. I have the last gen Radial that I swap between it and a TNF Access, and an older version Radial I cycle with. Also, compared to a Hikelite 26L. I so far like the Radial more than what I'm seeing with the Parsec. Seems to have most all of what the Parsec has, but also a rainfly. I don't carry more than one water bottle, so it has a side-stow pocket that's been quite useful, also the load lifter harness setup is actually highly-adjustable on the Radial, it has this button setup that allows for longer/shorter height torso adjustability. I do miss the L / S sizing, rather than the annoying O/S. Granted the bag is more cycling focused (ie: Extra shoe pouch, expandable/collapsible). I do like 3-large sleaves vs 2.
Thanks for the good review! Could you do the new tropos and old tropos comparison video? Since you said you prefer the old one's front pocket, I wonder what other differences are there from one another!
Do you have problems with the bottom of the backpack where it touches your back? I have the Radial with the same frame and it pulls my shirt up. Love the bag but I walk around with my lower back on display unless I keep pulling my shirt down.
Sniped this a few months ago as personal item when I travel. It's making for a great camera bag when I hike... I use the Peak Design capture clip on the strap & their travel tripod in one of the bottle holders. Cheers!
@@Ra79rait's going to depend on the airline. For Frontier or Spirit? Most likely they will count it as a carry on. I work at an airport and use the aphelia as my EDC. The Apogee/Aphelia is too large to fit under the seat on American the last time I flew. I have a small backpack from Amazon that I hate for a personal item. I bought my niece an Osprey Comet as a gift and she was able to use it as a personal item on Southwest.
Hey, I just found your channel and I loved the review. Personally, I just bought an Osprey Daylite+ for hiking/travel, but I’m trying to inform myself about other good backpacks from Osprey, and this one looks good too. Nice and thorough review, I’ll definitely check out your other reviews! Also, if you ever review the Daylite+ backpack, I’d love to hear your thoughts about it. Pura Vida! 🤘
Do you mean the strap or compartment so you can put the bag over the handle of luggage? If so, look at 4:05. There is a gap between the mesh panel and the actual back of the backpack, with holes on either side so you could pass the luggage handle through. Hope this helps.
Hi Desys, Great channel! I recently tried the Parsec in search of a nice EDC bag and it was a bit too much for me! Have you tried the new Osprey Aeode day pack? looks interesting! would you have any idea for an everyday EDC bag? something between the Osprey Nebula, maybe the new Aeode and Apogee? or even Aer?
Hey, is the parsec laptop compartment lifted? As in that the bottom of the laptop compartment is 'floating' over the bottom of the bag? Thank you! Great in depth reviews!
I just picked up the Tropos and it's basically the Parsec's big brother and I can confirm a 40oz Hydroflask fits with space to spare. I'm pretty sure the pockets are the exact same size on the Parsec even though it's a slightly smaller bag overall.
Thank you for this nice review ! I would like to use this backpack for work but also with my kid. Is it possible to fit a basketball in the main compartiment ? Thank you
thanks! i got it from altitude sports online. weight is similar, but this one is WAYYYY more comfy than the Surge. I like the organization of the Surge, but comfort is more important to me!
@@DesmondCheng yes, totally agree, I ended up getting the Osprey tropos and surge, and returned the osprey. It is more comfortable but I need the pockets on the surge ~~~
hi Desy, thank for the review. as Osprey non-Hiking bags are widely available in my country (Austria) now. I ordered one it surely a unique backpack . how would you compare the mesh of the Parsec to the one on Comet or Nebula? can it be too aggrresive for clothes (I am not talking about wool sweathrs , knitted etc) and is it more comfortable simply more ventilated?
i havent used the comet or nebula, but if u read down in the comments somewhere, i vaguely remember someone saying he prefers the tropos/parsec over the nebula as he owned them all!
@@DesmondCheng the main problem with the new comet/ nebula is that only half of the back is ventilated ..very strange. A form over function we call it. Anyway my first day with the parsec. I feel the comfort. Better than everything else I tried for university. My small travel backpack is fjällräven Lappland 15 as I don't carry cameras etc... P.S. every Thule backpack has at least one design flaw that ruins the concept hehe .
Hi desy. Is this bag super rigid/ stiff? I use an eddie bauer stowaway backpack which is basically a sack with shoulder slings haha. It was 20l and i needed a bit more room, so im considering this one because it doesnt look like a juvenile school bag or a hikers bag. So im kinda used to a bag with no structure, but it was also not super stiff. Im just worried that this will be too heavy or too stiff for something like walking to work.
hey, so yes there is structure to the back because of that kickstand. But its a very lightweight bag and the rest of it is pretty soft. So yes its rigid in the way that you can't squish it into a ball, but u can flatten it if its empty
Curious is the kickstand collapsible or is always extended? I'm debating on this vs Fjallraven Raven 20 for a trip to Japan and then to use it for EDC at home. It will just be a daypack with cycling and hiking in the mix.
the aer is a more premium backpack. its overall heavier but has a lot of pockets / zippers / organization. if u want something more simpler and lighter in weight, then go with the osprey parsec or tropos. but if u like the looks and need the organization, then go with AER!
@@DesmondCheng thank you ☺️ I’m gonna go with tropos! I have an open budget and that got me really confused. But having stayed with - I feel brand Osprey speaks to me more and I walk a lot, so it’s definitely going to be more comfy - lighter and given that I live in India it’s hot here so the airspeed shall be a boon I’m guessing. Thank you for you response :)
so if u dont have it packed out, yes it might fit under ur seat, BUT its quite long so its going to eat up your leg room. No I don't think its that small to be a 'personal' item. Honestly I would put this bag in the overhead, and use a sling bag as my 'personal'
I just got this. First impressions is that's its almost perfect (for me) other than the waist strap. By far the worst part about this bag. Annoying, flappy and even puts weird pressure on lower back. I'm thinking of getting the wings hemmed off.
You could always just remove the bottom strap and just make sure the "wings" are flipped out instead of in when you put it on so they're not putting pressure on your hips. I just picked up the Tropos with the same wing design so I'm right there with you. 🙂
to be honest, nebula is not on my radar because it doesnt have a kickstand and doesn't have the air mesh. so i probably wont be reviewing that bag anytime soon!
Desy Cheng is a nice guy, but he's ready to sell us any backpack the brands send him or give him. In the long run, this creates a real credibility problem...

Nebula looks perfect except for the lack of wider area where hip belt meets the bag, does the thin hip belt seem to work OK when the bag is heavy?

to be honest i never used the hipbelt so i cant really say!@@777arc2
nice ill have to check out that bag!@@meatman6660
If Osprey took camera backpacks seriously.. they would dominate the market with their back/harness system... Im tired of sweaty backs 😂
tbh you will always have a sweaty back in hot weather even with Osprey backpacks.. it’ll just make it more bearable
Agreed. But now with Peak Design’s v2 camera cube should be able to fit the smedium size and down into an Osprey bag (like the Farpoint) and bingo 🤓
