From the brand
-
Since its foundation in 1974, Osprey has had the same relentless spirit towards innovation and quality—values established by founder Mike Pfotenhauer back when he began placing his first stitches at age 16. Little did he know, he would eventually stitch together the legacy of meticulous craftmanship for which Osprey is widely renowned. Today, Osprey is a melting pot of diverse personalities, backgrounds, and abilities.

Every effort is made to maximize comfort and mobility while carrying a heavy load. The wide shoulder straps and hip belt have thick firm padding that maintains comfort over the long haul. The "AirScape" molded back panel provides excellent support while still allowing good airflow. The suspension system effectively transfers most of the weight to the hips and lumbar area. The are outstanding options for dialing the in perfect fit that are easily adjusted with Osprey's "fit on the fly" system. I recommend watching their videos on adjusting and fitting the pack before hitting the trail.
There are surprising complexities to this wearable wilderness technology. I recommend downloading the product manual from the Osprey website. Even that did not help with converting the "Daylid" top compartment into a daypack. The instructions said to attach buckles on the harness straps, but the harness straps on the daypack don't have buckles. I contacted Osprey via chat on their website and they provided me with a video on the proper way to attach straps by sliding a plastic tab on the end of the shoulder strap through a loop of nylon string on each side of the pack.
If you're planning on several days in the backcountry, this is probably one of the best packs available. Comfort, quality, features and design are all outstanding.
Comfort, quality and features second to none
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021
This is a BIG pack (second largest Osprey makes) and loaded with features. Optimized to carry 40 -70 lbs, it's an excellent choice if you're spending several days on the trail or are a camping maximalist. Pockets and attachment points abound and are well thought out to provide quick access to frequently used items. Multiple compression straps allow you to cinch down the load. As expected from Osprey, materials are highest quality and clearly engineered by people who understand and use their products in the real world.Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021
