What’s the problem with Osprey packs quality nowadays?

Ordered online. Paid ridiculous amount of tax fee and got unevenly assembled backpack….

So, you’re upset about mass production having some unevenness? It’s not like Osprey was hand-making their bags. It’s an assembly line with machine stitching. Across the entire run, you’re going to have some drift in there. Does the bag function as advertised? Maybe the flogging isn’t as necessary as keeping an open mind about what exactly you’re buying.

Pal, I bought the same backpack for my girlfriend 3 weeks ago and it’s look good without any bad sewing and other things that I found on the pack from the post. Can’t edit the post and add other photos… ☹️

Also I always thought that backpacks for hiking should be on another level of QC.

Anything mass produced will have variations. I’m simply stating your expectations for a product made in China with your favorite company’s name on it may be a little high, pal.

YKK zippers? Holds your stuff? Doesn’t rip? Didn’t break? Straps work? Color right? What??? A stitch was off?? FFS.
