Look, there are a thousand different backpacks out there and choosing one is both a matter of personal preference and figuring out what is sturdy and what is junk. This one works super well for me and so I am going to share why in case it is helpful for you.
My last Osprey backpacking pack lasted a decade, during a time when I was leading trips. These things are built to last. I never worry about an Osprey falling apart.
A note on color: I got the khaki/sandy color. I have a lot of brightly colored gear already and was looking for something more neutral; this is perfect. Yay for not showing much dirt and for blending into the surroundings!
The storage system on this is great. I call it the “big hole” style; there are supporting pockets and compartments, which I will get to in a moment, but the star of the show is the fact that you can open the main compartment, stick your water bladder in the reservoir pocket, and then stuff the rest full of, well, everything. There is a dedicated zippered sleeping bag compartment with floating divider, removable clipped webbing loops on the outside of the pack (for your tent or sleeping pad), as well as attachment points on the lid for additional gear (again, tent or sleeping pad). There are side bottle/fuel pockets, and generous waist belt pockets for small items that need to be handy. The lid has the standard zippered compartment, and there is a small zippered section for the rain cover (included—bonus points for this, thank you Osprey) near the base of the pack. There are ample attachment points for things like poles and whatever you usually ‘biner to the outside like camp shoes.
If you want a pack that is organized but not so regimented and fussy that it is hard to tailor to how you like to pack, this could be a good bet for you.
On to capacity. This 65L, 3.6LB pack is a great size if you only want one backpacking pack. You can pack for a weekend or for 5-7 days in this thing, unless you are snow camping and needing lots of bulky gear. I tend to pack very light so can get away with 8-10 days of spring/summer backpacking with this size pack. It is compatible with the Daylite day packs—there are six loops where the pack can attach—so you can add capacity there as well. Note: I only used four of the attachments with my 18L Daylite (see photo with grungy used-to-be-bright-orange daypack).
Now for the suspension system and fit. At 6’ and 150 lbs, I am on the tall end of what this pack can handle. That said, I find it very comfortable. The back frame extends, and the waist belt has ample cushioning and grip so it doesn’t loosen up as I walk. There is good load transfer to my hips. The sternum strap is easy to adjust and stays put. There are the usual over the shoulder adjustment straps. This pack has two compression straps on each side; a lot of packs only have one per side and I find having two makes a big difference. Everything you need for a good fit and load balancing is there.
Two things that need to be mentioned: first, the airspeed back is amazing. It actually keeps me cool. Second, the torso adjustment is so easy! I remember when there were all kinds of confusing buckle systems or godzilla strength velcro used to get the right fit on bigger packs. Now it is a 10-second per side effort; you move the little tab to the slot where you want it (see photo). Done ✅
Okay, so I love this pack. I also have a ton of outdoor leader experience. So, if you have questions about the pack, ask on the page where you can submit a question, and if I can help I will.

The lid or top compartment is one single piece of fabric, no seams. This guarantees that no water is coming in through there. The rest are well sewn and I will see how waterproof they are soon.
The main compartment closure has an ingenious spring toggle that works the opposite to what you may have seen. Instead of pushing it to release tension and be able to adjust the closure cord, you pull on it. A little different but works well.
The shoulder straps and chest strap are very comfortable and the belt even more so. The belt in particular is quite rigid, transferring weight to your hips an legs effectively. All buckles are smooth and easy to adjust and you can tell right away on every component that this is high quality gear.
Be aware that the side pockets on the belt are somewhat small, I prefer them a little larger but that's a matter of personal preference. They are large enough to fit a headlamp or a multi-tool for example.
It also has many, many attachment loops for any gear you might need to attach outside the pack, like hiking poles, solar panel, etc. or just to hang a towel or garment to dry.
Finally, the pack is quite light, not as light as u/l packs, but none of them will be as comfortable as this one. It comes in at 3.6 pounds.
Very impressed with this pack. Well worth the money.
Fantastic hiking backpack, very tough, very light and great looks.

This backpack is very evidently well made. The material is light and tough and looks to be quite waterproof (I haven't tested it in the rain). It is very comfortable to wear thanks to the wide range of adjustments provided, and provides ample space for your gear (65 liters).Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2024
