About this deal
The Transporter is one of the top scorers in this performance metric thanks to its double-coated 840-denier nylon that has a TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) coating on each side that does an excellent job of repelling water.
If you are a hiker or camper who likes to trek 9 miles into the woods to find a camping spot – look elsewhere. While it has some impressive backpack features, it does not provide the back and hip support that an authentic travel backpack does. The main feature of this duffel is its ability to be worn as a regular backpack as well as carried like a duffel. This means I only needed to lug around one holdall for the main parts of my journey, and use the day sack for walks. When we first look at the Osprey Transporter, its compact pack size and footprint is the first thing that catches your eye.
These buckles help the top lid's rain flap stay in place better, to help protect the zipper from the elements.
For canoe tripping or sailing you can always pack some of your belongings in plastic bags for extra precaution.The Transporter is versatile and can be used for anything from camping to climbing trips to backpacking around the world.
