OSPREY AXIS 24 is a city backpack with a volume of 24 liters designed for students, professionals and anyone who needs a quality backpack for a laptop and everyday commuting. The spacious design with an integrated padded sleeve for a laptop up to 16" will take care of your tech, and the well-thought-out pocket organization handles other personal items. Weight 0.74 kg and the breathable AirScape™ back system make the AXIS 24 a comfortable companion for daily commuting.

AirScape™ back panel – comfort for all-day wear

The AirScape™ back panel is made of 3D-molded foam covered with mesh, which ensures breathability and a close-to-body fit. Combined with padded Spacermesh straps and two compression straps, it stabilizes the load and prevents back fatigue even after long days of continuous use.

Thoughtful organization for students and professionals

AXIS 24 offers rich organization. In addition to the main compartment with a 16" laptop sleeve and a tablet sleeve, there are separate pockets for documents, a zippered organizer pocket with a key clip, elastic mesh pockets, bottle pockets, and front daisy chain loops for attaching extra gear.

Comparison: AXIS 24 vs DAYLITE, DAYLITE PLUS, NEBULA

Within OSPREY's city backpacks, the AXIS 24 belongs to the mid-range models. OSPREY DAYLITE (13 L, 0.45 kg) is smaller and more versatile – suitable for city use as well as a secondary pack on a trek. OSPREY DAYLITE PLUS (20 L, 0.6 kg) is a study version of the DAYLITE with a laptop sleeve but smaller volume. OSPREY NEBULA (32 L) is larger and more business-oriented for more demanding users. AXIS 24 is therefore the ideal middle ground – enough volume for school and work, but by no means awkwardly large.

Who is the OSPREY AXIS 24 for?

AXIS 24 is ideal as a school backpack for high school and university students, a business backpack for IT professionals, and also as a travel backpack sized for carry-on luggage. Suitable for urban cyclists thanks to the blinky light attachment, as well as for commuters who need to carry a laptop and personal items at the same time.
