2019 Osprey Quasar & Axis Big And Little Brother of Everyday Carry (EDC) Backpacks

[@Pyccolru]

this is the only review on KZbin of the 2019 Axis. Keep up the great work man

[@conductorcammon]

I really want to EDC a small pack. But I know nothing about them and there are so many! These vids are helpful. Thank you.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

The Axis is a good one to get started or check the 3V Gear Subrosa Urban Assault.. I like that one as a start small EDC pack

[@conductorcammon]

@@GeorgeDEFINED thanks, I'll check em out!

[@mbud234]

This guy is huge and intimidating, but when you look on his eyes.. man , that's cute pair of eyes. Thanks for the review, it's fun and informative.

[@bawalmagisip1]

The shove-it pocket is like the drop-pockets on jackets; once you tried them,can’t go without them.

[@Junichild]

I love your reviews! All relevant questions and issues covered.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Thanks for watching!

[@Akabari100]

I own a few Osprey bags, and now they're pretty much one of the only companies I'd consider when looking for a new backpack or bag. Yes, they're a bit more technical looking, but an outdoor-oriented company like Osprey knows how to make a functional, comfortable bag. I personally choose comfort over style. And I think the quality of materials along with their excellent warranty justifies the mid-range pricing.

[@kc9364]

The quasta (female version of quasar) is actually my edc and the axis is my sister's edc. We're in college and we really love how they've been holding up. I've been watching your videos for awhile now and it was cool to see you review backpacks that I'm extremely familiar with.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Thanks for watching.. Come Again!! lol

[@geenagraber2529]

How big of a water bottle will fit in these? I was looking at the questa but not sure if my 40oz hydro flask will fit in the side pockets without falling out

[@kc9364]

@@geenagraber2529 the pockets stretch really far. I haven't tried a bottle that big, but my guess is yes.

[@phuongtran6729]

Thank you for such a detailed review. Was exactly what I was looking for. Your knowledge is incredible

[@johnlong4583]

George, you made my night. I just got a Quasar pack and I was looking everywhere to understand what that tab at the top of the pack was for. You are the only one who could confirm that it was a hydration port. Now, If I can only figure out where the blinky light attachment is.... Cheers!

[@johnlong4583]

Found it! You put your finger on in at 1:43. Besides that, I still learned more about my new pack than anywhere else....

[@kidbach]

when i went to EMS to buy my Nebula 34(old version), they had to order it which would take about a week. impatience crept in because they had Quasars and Novas(great packs also)in stock. im glad i waited, because the Nebula came in a day and half later. the 24/7 series is the most versatile line by Osprey. One.

[@cenninbach]

I love your reviews: details are great; ideas for storage and well presented. I always check your reviews for equipment; I just wish we could get all the things that you show, here in the UK. Thank you. One criticism I have regarding the Questa (women's version of the Quasar), is that I wish the compression strap covered the front pocket as well - it would slow down any thieves from accessing that pocket - I tend to keep valuables in the large zippered pocket inside the main section of the backpack.

[@johnnyvvlog]

Just got the Quasar on sale half price for 39 euros which is about 45usd. Can't go wrong for that price! First impressions is that it's a big improvement in size compared to my previous daily backpach the Stratos 24. I'll still keep the Stratos for longer journeys because it has better straps and a concave open back. But because of that design you loose a lot of space especially if you also pack a laptop or tablet like I do a lot. For all normal everyday travel the Quasar is really the better choice and a probably one of the best daily backpacks around.

[@TakoNekko]

Loving your channel and reviews! Like you, I carried a NF Recon for my EDC for over 20 years and started looking for a new bag just because I was bored with it. I saw your vid on the Nebula and purchased it and for the most part, I love the bag for an EDC. I will say that I don't see how they claim it's 34 Liters. It actually seems to have less volume than the Recon did which is weird. Having said that, it's been suiting my needs so far. I've actually thought about doing a review on it because there are some things I have noticed with it that I would like to share with others. Keep up the great work! :)

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Jump on in man.. I'll make room for you!

[@lanjoh06]

Another great review, George. Hope Osprey is giving you a kick back of some sort for the great work you do!

[@senpairag88]

My brother bought his first edc backpack ever. He picked 2019 Axis.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Tell your brother I said what's up! How does he like it?

[@jon77y]

Thanks for breaking it down, really make decisions much easier.. I'm looking for a winter bag for EDC. 🤔🙂

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

You sound like me! Winter EDC..lol I'm going four season of EDC gear... See ya

[@yudiherdiana4979]

Thanks for the review. Somehow I like the previous version of Quasar which looks more solid/bold, this latest version looks more flimsy. Not to mention the zippered pocket in the organizer compartment.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Thanks for the feedback.. See ya ✌🏾

[@RainbowCanyons]

my thoughts exactly. What a backwards update

[@TheKermitClein]

thanks for your opinion, i enjoyed it !

[@lnnoT6665]

im torn between quasar and borealis and finally decided to get the osprey yesterday because it was on sale. no regrets whatsoever. maybe the minor gripe i have on the quasar is the external pull chord of the zipper can be removed easily. i would have preferred the traditional metal pull where i can safely padlock the zippers together especially during travels. i wonder if maybe for whatever unimaginable reason we lost that pull chord, do they sell replacements or is it possible to replace it with the metal one? overall i'm happy i chose this over the heavier borealis plus the price is unbeatable.

[@l8tbraker]

My earlier model Axis (black) is different in several ways. Osprey perhaps has done some cost-cutting with the latest version? But the basic platform and size is unchanged, and that's a good thing.

[@jamesreid6366]

What color is the axis??

[@samplingapothecary4034]

That intro was great

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Thanks man! See ya ✌🏾

[@wadidow5439]

great video as usual

[@hectorgomez7632]

The osprey apogee is a new bag from them, I recently bought and love it. I actually returned a north face surge for it.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Sweet thanks for the suggestion! See ya

[@Dimonm83]

Great review, thnx!

[@MrHomolka]

Hey George, I recently picked up the Ogio Convoy 320 & 525 bags. They are made from great material and are very durable. I believe they have best bottle holders I have seen but organization/pockets is terrible for the price.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

I have an Ogio bag on my list to review however now you got me thinking about it.. See ya

[@MrHomolka]

@@GeorgeDEFINED I actually do like the bags but for $110 & $150 I feel they are over priced. Otherwise, they would be a great option.

[@ViacheslavDashkevych]

Hi Men! Help me please I compare Apogee and Quasar and Cant decide. I like how looks Apogee but think that quasar more functional. What do you think which one is better? PS I have bought Radial but unfortunately is too heavy and I want to refund.

[@ViacheslavDashkevych]

before Osprey Ive used Karrimor Ridge 32l - it was perfect bag pack but now want something new and maybe more quality

[@miksmi]

Thanks for consistently reporting on weight and dimensions. Any chance of displaying those while you're presenting that? I thought I saw specs on screen in prior vids. 👍 On outtakes. 😂

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

I did a couple months back but I got away from it.. your the first person to mention it. I could add it back if it helps I could make it small on the corner of the screen. See ya ✌🏾

[@floffeh2031]

i hope you still react, is the Osprey Quasar water resistant? like can it take rain like a champ without leaking any water inside of it? cause i am currently still looking for a decent backpack and i am likeing it alot atm

Thinking of getting osprey quasar or the north face borealis 🤔

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

I like the materials on the borealis better..

[@natalia9509]

Thanks for your reviews! I am currently looking for a very versatile backpack that could work both for everyday usage and for hiking. Actually, I wouldn’t mind it to be more for the outdoors in term of style and technical characteristics. But I am from Italy and a lot of brands you reviewed are not available here. For this reason, I am now indecisive between Osprey and TNF. I really like the new Surge and Borealis (I would prefer 30L or slightly more capacity) but they’re quite heavy and not the most comfortable backpacks especially when compared to Ospreys’ ones. From Osprey I like the Nova / Tropos and of course the Axis (although it’s smaller than what I’d like). Do you have any suggestions? Pls helpppp

[@rowanblackwood1379]

Hey George, love the review. That intro 🤣👌 one question, what’s the tune at the very beginning? Thanks

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Sorry man.. I use so much music it's hard to pin down. Be safe..

[@rowanblackwood1379]

Ahh that’s a shame. Any chance I could make a request please. A lot of the tunes you use sound dope. If it’s not to much trouble, any chance you could start adding them to the description please? 😁

[@leo-418]

Hey George, thanks for making a review of the Axis 2019! Do you know if the bag holds up well to rain? And does rainwater ever come in through the hydration pack hole thing?

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

This pack is water resistant not waterproof.. Light rain you will be fine down pour its going to soak through. Great bag tho... See ya

[@chrisjpeltz]

George - have you tried the Osprey Centauri? WDYT?

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Haven't tried it

[@IamGadgetcom]

I enjoy your video's.....What is the color of the Axis that you are holding? thank you

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Cypress Green Be Safe

[@IamGadgetcom]

@@GeorgeDEFINED Thank you and you be safe as well.... I just realized the axis does not have two side waterbottle holders. I am searching for 20L or less with w 2 side waterbottle holders that will hold Nalgene bottles without fighting the compartment along side for space. Thanks again for your reply . it is a nice color

[@hasannaqvi8438]

Hi, George, I have a question, please if you know the answer, that would be great, I am considering a north face recon, as a student, however I will be carrying a laptop, I also would like to use this as an all-rounder travel/university backpack. I have heard that it has a water-resistant coating on it, would it be protected against water, considering like you I have an XPS, which I will store in it? :) Thanks george!

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

The Recon doesn't do a great job in water.. That nylon just absorbs water like cotton. If your in a rain climate I would look somewhere eles or get a rainfly!! See ya

[@hasannaqvi8438]

@@GeorgeDEFINED Thanks, that's a bit odd, I read online it has a durable water resistant coating that repels water.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

@@hasannaqvi8438 The Recon is one of my favorite backpacks but when I use to get caught in the rain I would have to let it dry for a day or two after. Just a thought!

@@hasannaqvi8438 I don't carry my laptop usually.. buy a rain cover they are like $10.. most backpacks aren't waterproof.. look at a rolltop with a lining or I know Patagonia makes a waterproof backpack but it's expensive $$$
