![]() ![]() The dobby weave adds a bit of texture, but it’s not too noticeable on this all-black colorway. Both fabrics feel tough and weather-resistant, and they lend to the bag’s overall structure. The main material is a relatively light denier 210D Nylon Dobby, while the accent and the base of the bag get heavier 500D Nylon Packcloth. Like the METRON and Tropos, Osprey uses a mix of different fabrics on the Radial. Osprey Radial | This 500D Nylon Packcloth is more abrasion-resistant than the lighter 210D Nylon Dobby. It’s a nice colorway, as it shows off more of the Radial’s lines and shape than the Black. That’s a long name, but we’ll summarize it for you as a two-tone blue-green combo. There is one other colorway available at the time of writing, though: Succulent Green Night Jungle Blue. As usual, the Black colorway is our preferred choice because it’s easy to match with different colored gear and hides stains well, something that bags are prone to with outdoor use. They’re very tastefully applied, though, so we don’t have any gripes towards either. The branding appears minimal, though both the Osprey and Radial names are presented front and center of the bag. The Radial is one beast of a bag at this size, so we’re happy to see that Osprey was able to keep the aerodynamic design going. Apart from the lines, the Radial also doesn’t have too many parts sticking out of it (more on this later), remaining smoothly shaped-excellent for a streamlined biking experience. Osprey Radial | The logo is front and center for everyone to see.Ĭheck out how the plateau-shaped outline of the U-lock pocket, sunglasses pocket, and other seams of the bag run almost perfectly parallel to each other. With lines and curves that run across the bag’s body, it’s not minimalist, but it’s still a clean design in our eyes. The Radial fully embraces all of the frills that come with its feature-rich design. They’re not the most minimalistic designs out there-far from it, actually. We’ve reviewed other bags from Osprey, such as the METRON and the Tropos, and these two really have the most striking resemblance to the Radial-so much so that we even made a comparison video about it. So without further ado, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of the Radial and see what else this bag has to offer. ![]() With its 26-liter size and ability to further expand to 34 liters, plus an integrated kickstand, it’s certainly not living under anyone’s shadow. ![]() However, there’s more to the Radial to separate it from the rest of the family. But do they share the same quirks? For example, we can recall that the METRON and Tropos both lack strap keepers. It’s not just the looks all three share a similar set of features and build quality. Osprey Radial | That’s 26-liters of backpack to be taken on a bike-34 liters once expanded. The name may not sound familiar to you, but the bag’s resemblance to its siblings-the METRON and the Tropos-is hard to ignore. In the same way, we have another familiar experience in store for you in this review: Osprey’s Radial. They say riding a bike is easy because it’s a skill that you never really forget once you learn it-it’s déjà vu working in your favor. ![]()
