Best Purchase for a Long Trip
One week before I was scheduled to leave for Peru, I got an email from the airline informing me that my internal flights (booked by my tour group) had a lower weight limit for checked bags than my external flights had. I was going to Machu Picchu and the Rainbow Mountain, which necessitated cold weather and some trekking gear, and the Amazon, which needed trekking and paddling gear as well as gadgets to overcome the lack of electricity. There was no way I could reduce the amount of stuff that I was bringing. I needed to find another way. Enter the proxima backpack. I did like 12 hours of research. I did not want to pay a ton of money for a bag, but apparently, even little kid backpacks are super expensive now, and the differences between a bag that was $20 cheaper and this one were immense. Cheaper backpacks had the same capacity, but inferior materials, including zippers which was the #1 complaint for those bags. The proxima also had the exceptionally padded straps and the airscape system, which was a lifesaver. I stuffed this thing with easily 35lbs worth of stuff and as long as it was settled onto my shoulders, I never felt it. It also fit way more stuff than I ever expected it to and the laptop section can double as a security zipper as it is very hard to detect the existence of that zipper. I also used the front compression connectors to carry my hiking boots strapped to my bag and my bush hat dangling from them. Overall, I have zero complaints. Oh, also, this bag survived desert, jungle, cities, seven plane rides, trekking, two trains, and innumerable buses without so much as a scratch and it still looks brand new. I definitely feel like I got the best deal on a bag.

Great backpack!!
I have been living with this bag for a few months now and I have really fallen in love with it. It was slightly bigger than my last bag which, I needed, without being overly huge. I can walk around campus all day with it on and loaded and it has never felt uncomfortable. Even road trips prove to be not that big of a deal as I can pack a couple of days worth of clothes quite easily. I really like the two water bottle pockets as they very easily fit my Nalgene or my bigger Yeti and I usually stash a packable umbrella in the other. If I had to nitpick, the only issue I had was that the breathability of the part that touches your back is nice but when it rains, my laptop actually got a little wet from there and from the top, the zipper area, as I had to stand around in the rain a bit. My solution to this was to just put my laptop in the main compartment and that seemed to work but something to note nonetheless.

Perfect Bag for a picky person
I carry my backpack with me everywhere almost like a girl does with her purse. Having been a backpacking and canoeing guide for Boy Scouts, as well as living an outdoors style life along with urban traveling, I basically live out of my backpack. While on a job, my every day bag was stolen out of my truck, prompting me to get a new bag. I am very picky and was going to head to Dicks Sporting Goods to look at bags to buy, but I figured I’d check Amazon since I had other packages coming. I’m very familiar with Osprey as they’ve always been one of the best makers of high adventure gear, and the Proxima was 40% off in the orange color (not my favorite, but for 40% off idc). I’ve loaded everything I can think of in the bag and it still has so much more room. I’m also skateboarding a lot when I travel so having the compression straps to where they can fit a board is awesome. I would 10/10 recommend this bag.

Better than the Northface Recon
I own a Northface Recon backpack that I have been unhappy with because it’s too small, falls on its face every time I put it down and the straps are not comfortable. I took a risk and bought this backpack which is rated as being the same capacity (30L). I was super happy to find out that this backpack’s main pocket is way bigger than the Recon and overall fits way more in it. It also can stand freely without falling on its face and the straps are more comfortable. I’m very happy with this Osprey backpack as it’s like the Recon, only better in all the ways that matter to me. I recommend you check this out if you’ve been deciding between this or the Recon.
