The Nebula 34 has been created to be a versatile everyday bag, whether you are commuting or hiking, with lots of pockets and features to keep you organised on the go. As the name suggests this is a 34L backpack and comes in a variety of attractive designs: Navy Blue, Black, Robust Red, Komodo Green and Armor Grey (the sample we received, which has a funky orange back in interior lining).

The Nebula has a dedicated padded laptop and tablet sleeve (39cm L  x 28cm W x 5cm D), with direct zip access that helps you quickly grab out your gear at airline security checkpoints. The side compression straps keep your items secure whilst the sternum strap (with emergency whistle) and removable webbing hip-belt helps to ensure that your pack doesn’t bounce around. The minimal hip belt isn’t as comfortable as the padded variety, but it acts as a stabiliser rather than a weight distributer. The front stretch pockets let you quickly stash away a jacket or magazine when your train arrives, for example, and the LED bike light attachment point and reflective graphics helps to enhance your visibility on the roads.

Lightweight and compact the Nebula weighs 0.96kg with maximum dimensions 50cm (l) x 33cm (w) x 30cm (d) and the ‘210D Nylon Oxford’ construction means it can protect your belongings from the elements (to a certain extent) but there is no padding or panel on the bottom, so just be aware before you go dumping your bag on the ground! To keep you super-organised there is a front panel organiser pocket, internal document sleeve, internal key attachment clip, internal organisation pocket, stretch mesh side pocket and a scratch-proof sunglasses & electronics pocket, whilst the bright orange internal lining aids in locating possessions with ease.

The Nebula 34 has all the standard useful features that Osprey bring to the table: perfect for an everyday day pack without the overkill - we don’t need two ice picks for a day out in the country! The padded back-panel makes for a comfortable ride but doesn’t provide much ventilation, so be prepared for a sweaty back on warmer days. RRP £75.00
