Flare

$95.00

Osprey

Need a school bag with plenty of room for books and supplies but not so big it's bulky? The 27L Flare hits the sweet spot of a medium backpack for around campus and beyond. With a massive internal laptop sleeve in its main compartment the deceptively cavernous Flare can fit up to a 16-inch laptop and comes with internal organization to keep all of your daily gear in order. Get around campus with a little Flare this next semester.
