Osprey Ozone 2-Wheel 40L/21.5" Carry-On Rolling Luggage, Black

Product Information

One of my favorite features about this bag is the wheels. If you’re going on an adventurous trip, you want indestructible wheels that can go over anything and everything. Large grippywheels are secured in a lightweight ABS plastic high clearance base with integrated foot bar/grab handle and will keep running smoothly thanks to the high traction rubberandsealed bearings. My Ozone was quite a bit cheaper than the Meridian when I bought it, which was an extra bonus. The only thing really that I like more about the Meridian version is that it comes in blue. Make sure that whichever suitcase you choose, it has a great handle. I love the handle on this bag. It’s a single handle, which is a bit more lightweight than a double handle. People tend to like single versus double handles; they have different pros and cons. Are there any other features you’d want me to discuss in this Osprey Ozone 46 review? Share in the comments!

There are various features that I personally need in a suitcase. Now, keep in mind that what works for me, or your best friend, or your neighbor, may not work for you. As a long-term traveler, my suitcase was basically my home; everything I own was in there! So if anything went wrong with my suitcase, it was a big deal. It can’t fall apart. To sum it up, make sure that your suitcase, no matter the price, has awesome wheels. For me, that’s the number one thing I look for in a bag for long-term travel.For some reason, I’ve never actually spoken about one of my favorite travel items. It’s something that’s super important to me and I know that it’s important to you, too. Not sure what it is yet? It’s your luggage! Wheels always seem to be such an issue with luggage – I’ve seen so many people struggle with flimsy or broken wheels, or just wheels that don’t wheel smoothly – so I love that the wheels on this are so durable and well-built. It might not be a huge consideration when looking at wheeled luggage, but it actually can make a huge difference!

In this Osprey Ozone 46 review I’ll walk through all the features and will show you the pros and cons and what I’ve put this suitcase through. The one thing that stayed the same throughout the 9 years is the particular brand of suitcases that I’ve used, and that brand is Osprey. This is my absolute favorite brand for long-term travel. Propelling it along pavements is a joy thanks to its ergonomic T-shaped handle and smooth wheels. Cobblestone streets? Not a problem. There’s loads of space in this bag. As I mentioned before, I used this for traveling every single day, 24 hours a day, for months at a time. So I know you guys don’t need a bigger suitcase than this!The Ozone also comes with a suspension system, so I think it’s probably better for carrying than the Meridian.

In fact, that slash compartment was so surprisingly roomy that I was able to fit my Canon EF-S 70-200mm telephoto lens with the lens hood attached in there, and it still had room for my sunglasses. This one is extremely lightweight and sturdy, which means I’m going to get the best feature without a lot of weight. And I actually prefer my luggage not to have a bunch of compartments. This is the perfect amount as I find internal compartments to be restricting. Without them I get to design how I use the space in my own suitcase.

Here’s why this bag is awesome and why it works for my long-term travels. You’ll find my Osprey Ozone 46 review below and you can also watch the video here. I love this fabric; it’s so lightweight and one of my favorite features from Osprey. You need a bag that can handle the wear and tear of full-time travel. Just in case, Osprey has a lifetime warranty, which is an important feature to look for when buying luggage.
