Osprey Ozone Wheeled 22 Review

The Osprey Ozone Wheeled 22 is somewhat like a small backpack on wheels. It has the technical looks and quality construction that Osprey puts into their backpacks, with an added set of in-line skate wheels and a carrying handle. While this type of carry on might appeal to a certain set of people (this is OutdoorGearLab, after all), it doesn’t quite measure up to the features and performance of a traditional carry on bag. While it is lightweight, the bag itself is very tippy and the slightest bump caused it to fall over when pulling it. It had the smallest internal volume of any bag in this review and a lot of wasted space around the frame. If you love traveling with duffel bags and prefer one with wheels, then we’d go with The North Face Rolling Thunder 22 over this model instead. Also check out our Editors’ Choice winner, the Eagle Creek Tarmac AWD Carry On, which has a similar outdoorsy styling with a lot more internal capacity and useful features.
