   Review: The New Osprey Spin Series Pack

Listen, the world can be a scary place.  If you were a laptop, you might be a little anxious about going outside.  So the new Spin Series from Osprey gives your laptop and other daily essentials for urban survival a happy and stylish home.

On Performance and Design…
Every ounce of knowledge and inspiration that Osprey pours into their technical outdoor packs found its way into the sleek new line of Spin Series packs.  Designed to handle the rigors of bike commuting, but certainly not limited to cyclists, these full-featured, technical packs are ready and willing to get you through all of your urban adventures.

The Spin Series offers popular flap styling with innovative, quick access hook closure.  The interior of both the Spin 32 and 22 offer plenty of storage space, which include a couple of handy water bottle pockets to store your favorite beverage of choice. Where this pack truly shines however is in it’s vast array of organizational features that never detract from the sleek design of the bag.

For those check-me-out-I’m-a-friggin’-athlete days, a breathable DriMesh back panel and shoulder straps keep you comfortable while preventing heat exhaustion. But now matter how athletic you might be, trust us when we say that you don’t want to wear your bike helmet to that 9 a.m. meeting.  Towards those ends, Osprey made securing your helmet super-easy and fast, thanks to the LidLock™ helmet clip.

If you’re the type that makes bike-to-work-day an everyday occurrence, you are bound to encounter a few rain storms.  On the days that the skies open up and unleash the rain, feel free to watch every other bike commuter hit panic mode and try to save their electronics from the ruckus rainstorm.  Meanwhile you can calmly unleash your integrated rain cover and carry on. Don’t worry about your fellow bike commuters though because no one can see their tears fall in the rain.

Review: The New Osprey Spin Series Pack

As with all Osprey packs, the Spin Series is backed by Osprey’s “All Mighty Guarantee”.  Simply put, Osprey will repair for any reason, free of charge, any damage or defect in our product – whether it was purchased in 1974 or yesterday.  That being said, after several months of putting the Spin 32 through the paces, we find ourselves hard pressed to come up with any material problems or issues you’d ever have with the exceptional construction of this pack.

Bottom Line…
The days of slinging that messenger bag over your shoulder at an end.  The new Spin Series from Osprey is in it for the long haul.
