Osprey Transporter™ Series: Built for Every Carry
The Osprey Transporter™ series is designed for people constantly moving between environments, from weekday commuting and gym sessions to weekend escapes and international travel. Built to bridge the gap, the Transporter collection is engineered to perform wherever the day may lead.
Unlike traditional luggage, the Transporter bags are made to handle the realities of modern life, including:
- Airports and train stations
- Daily commutes
- Outdoor travel
- Weekend trips
- Gym-to-office routines
- Everyday carry.
Lightweight but without compromising durability, this range can handle navigating cobblestone streets just as well as mountain trails and busy, carpeted airport terminals, with a wide variety of carry solutions, including:
- Packs including Transporter™ Zinch Pack, Roll Top and Travel Pack.
- Duffels, including the Gear Tote and Duffel range from 30L to 95L.
- Wheeled duffels and carry-on luggage.
- Compact carry options, including the Sling and Waist Pack.
- The collection is divided into two different categories: Transporter™ Travel and Transporter™ Lifestyle.
Transporter™ Travel is designed for longer journeys or gear-heavy adventures and includes the Squffel, Duffel, Wheeled Duffel, Travel Pack and Gear Tote. These styles prioritise durability, weather protection and versatile carrying options for seamless movement.
Transporter™ Lifestyle, on the other hand, is built more for commuting, local exploration and day-to-day organisation, with its streamlined designs, technical materials and clean silhouettes, and includes the Zinch Pack, Roll Top, Sling and Waist Pack.
