Does anyone have any idea about Alpinepac? Saw one forumer selling an Alpinepac 40L for RM 200. I wonder how's the durability. And I saw another forumer selling a used Deuter Futura Pro 38 for RM 300. It's still is a good condition. New Deuter is too expensive for my budget.

Okay, thanks. Do you have any idea where is a good place to hunt for backpack or luggage in Penang? Not necessarily have to be branded. I think I saw a shop beside Chowrasta market that sells some backpacks. However, I'm not sure if they are selling authentic or not.

Thanks for all the replies. Will try to check out Komtar and Chowrasta when have the time. In the mean time, I'm actually looking for Osprey Porter 46 but I couldn't find any information where I can find it locally. Or do you know any backpack that can be open like this?

Keong:
The backpack in the picture is Osprey Porter 46. I kinda like it but so far, I couldn't really find a similiar one in Penang. It seems like the only way I can purchase it is through online.

I should've gotten this instead of the transporter 65 though but oh well, already buy and haven't used before. Hopefully when I use the bag for the first time in Jan, it won't disappoint me.

How much did u get this for?

I bought this from US through a forummer here. Cost me around RM450++. Don't really remember the exact price. Not sure if it's a good price though. I couldn't find the Porter 46 in Penang so I resorted to get it online.

I'm very happy with the bag especially the front opening design. Have no problem carrying the bag into cabin as well though the weight is more than 7kg sweat.gif The only thing I wish the bag have is a side mesh pocket tongue.gif

Wow, quite expensive. I got my Transporter 65 at RM259 only at The Curve (KL). I didn't ask the sales guy about the Porter coz that day when i went looking for the bag - first time heard about this brand also so didn't know anything about it but he said that it has a good warranty.

I tot the Porter would've been just slightly more expensive than mine but dunno la. After all already got my bag... so mahfan want to change or buy new one.

Yeah... I thought it's quite expensive as well. But, since I had been searching for a suitable backpack for such a long time and I'm kinda desperate for it so, just bought it anyway. But luckily, no regret. I think this one can last for a long time already.

So far have no problem carrying Osprey Porter 46 on board. However, I'm not very sure with LCCT as the staff there seems to me more stricter.

The Osprey Porter 46 goes for about RM300+ at Mdm Sia. Should be suitable for you if you're a light packer. smile.gif

That's a lot cheaper than me purchasing from Amazon.com. But nvm. No regrets cause it's good.

I'm currently using Osprey Porter 46. It's a front loading backpack, the main reason why I bought it in the first place. I find top loading backpack to be a hassle for me. Tried to carry it on board for Airasia domestic flight and have no problem so far.

My wife decided to replace her 10 years old backpack for day and travel use, we lurk around to find a backpack that is reasonably light and easier to pack. We decided to land our hand on Osprey Quantum 34L backpack. She's hesitated initially, but then I told her forget about the design, the most important is the comfortability and functionality of the pack. She bring this with her to Hong Kong and she felt huge difference between Osprey and her previous backpack. It's more comfortable for full day use and the design such a way that sweat won't stick to your back.

Yeah... I'm very satisfied with my Osprey Porter 46 too and I'm thinking of replacing my worn out daypack. At first, I was thinking about Osprey Axis and after reading your post, Osprey Quantum looks very good too sweat.gif

For yours information, I just sent my osprey Merton 35 for repair yesterday. Manage to speak to the people there as long as your bag is genuine osprey, the warranty is worldwide no matter where you bought it from. Osprey had a limited lifetime warranty on their product.

Btw is that cheaper to buy from Amazon? I'm still hunting for good deal from osprey product online. I knew some online retailer from us offer as much as 50% discount for off season osprey product. Just the courier charges that kills you.

I'm not very sure if it's cheaper. Ordered it online as I have difficulty finding it in Penang and it's a hassle to go to KL to search it. Okay... but how should I send the bag to the company? If I buy it from a retailer, I can just send the bag to them but what if I didn't buy from them?

Saw some sites that allows me to purchase Osprey online, but would prefer to be able to test the backpack first.
I don't think I'll make a trip to KL unless there's anything come up.
If I were to travel to KL just to buy a bag, then it will be higher cost already. tongue.gif

By the way, I'm about 150cm actually. Kinda worry about the size for Farpoint 55.
Just out of curiosity, have you got your bag from the famous Madam Sia shop?
Does the Osprey packs all comes with lifetime global warranty as said?
*
Or you can try Osprey Porter 46.

Yes, all backpack comes with lifetime warranty.
