Why We Love This Deal
Big news at REI: The retailer just sprinkled in a handful of stellar deals in the REI Outlet, including a whole array of Osprey bags for 40% off or more. This roll-top backpack is one of the best of the bunch thanks to its sleek-but-versatile design and unbeatable sale price.
Osprey Transporter Roll-Top Pack is on sale for $70, a 57% discount off its normal price of $165. That’s by far the lowest price for this pack online—it easily beats Osprey’s sale price and the sale price at other third-party retailers. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this bag has earned a "Top-Rated" badge at REI, likely because of its 4.5-star rating and glowing reviews.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Volume: 25 liters
- Material: 450-denier recycled polyester
- Pockets: 1 main compartment, 1 exterior pocket
- Laptop Capacity: 16-inch laptop
- Best For: Commuting, everyday wear
The Transporter Roll-Top Pack falls squarely into the everyday wear category of packs. While it lacks the exterior daisy chains and mesh pouches you’d find on a hiking backpack, it serves up a streamlined look that makes it appropriate for the office and helps it blend into casual outfits.
Inside, it offers quite a bit of space in its 25-liter main compartment. On the back, a zippered laptop sleeve keeps your computer secure in transit, and a sleeve on the interior of the pack is great for organizing notebooks, papers, or an iPad. On the front, a zippered pocket provides quick access to smaller accessories, and dual water bottle sleeves on either side of the pack corral water bottles or other small items.
The pack is made from a hefty 450-denier polyester fabric, and some panels have a TPU coating for extra durability. The fabric is treated with a DWR finish to repel light rain and splashes. It's worth noting that the laptop sleeve is not waterproof, so that’s something to consider if you encounter wet weather often.
What Shoppers Are Saying
Reviewers say this version in Osprey's Transporter line is “super functional” and has “great features,” especially its dual water bottle compartments and built-in laptop sleeve. One shopper noted it carries a lot of stuff—its roll-top design gives you extra space beyond the stated 25-liter capacity. Shoppers also appreciated its sleek aesthetic, which makes it great for commuting and daily use, and they also called it “comfortable” to carry.
Osprey packs are always hot sellers, but these are some of the best discounts I’ve ever seen, and I’d expect the Transporter Roll-Top to disappear once word gets out about this awesome 57% off deal. Snag yours today before it’s gone.
