  • BEST BACKPACK EVER!!!
Size: Small/Medium Color: Black
Super well made! Super comfortable! Perfect size and super easy to fit a weeks worth of clothes including necessities. I used this for my month long trip and it was beyond PERFECT! Just be sure to purchase packing cubes to make it much much easier to navigate your bag at all times. It isn’t that often carry on allowed anymore but it made it through being a checked bag with NO damage. Exactly worth what I payed. Thank you! ... show more

  • Backpacker must have!
Size: Large/X-Large Color: Black
Awesome backpack! Used this on my month long journey through SE Asia. I’m usually a heavy handed packer and this fit all of my things wonderfully. 2 weeks worth of outfits, makeup, blow dryer, 2 pairs of shoes, toiletries, and all of the fun goodies I picked up along the way! I went for the men’s fit because it was cheaper than the woman’s one, it was comfortable and adjusted to me perfectly. ... show more

  • Easy to adjust for you
Size: Large/X-Large Color: Black
Backpacking for many days. Most item fit inside but it’s built so some item can go on the outside. I put fishing poles in the water pockets along with water bottles The pack stays firm, no sloppy movement. It’s light. I like the accessibility from the back as well as the top. Easy adjustment for shoulder straps, torso, hip belt. I was amazed how great it is. Better than expected ... show more

  • Very good, high quality
Size: Small/Medium Color: Black
Very high quality, well made. I don't like the drawstring where the plastic clip puts pressure on it, it's hard to open. But, if the cord gets worn down over time the company will probably repair it due to the lifetime warranty This pack is simple and great for if you don't need a to of pockets but a few. The pockets on the hip straps are great. The water bottle holder is great. As far as seller, pretty fast shipping. ... show more

  • Great bag as expected
Size: Large/X-Large Color: Garlic Mustard Green
Osprey always puts out quality products and this is no exception. The bag is large but sleekly designed, it is taller rather than thicker so it sits close to the body to keep your center of gravity in check. The ventilation in the back in amazing, the best I’ve had in a backpack. There is ample storage without being covered in pockets, the trekking pole loops are perfect. I like that there is a separate (but removable) sleeping bag compartment, that can be accessed on it’s own, I also like that the whole front can be unzipped for full access to your stuff, great for those times when you need something buried deep in your bag but don’t want to unpack the whole thing. I appreciate that practically every zipper has its own buckles that go over top for added security and to reduce stress on the zippers themselves. Also the color is unmatched in most pack designs, it’s so refreshing to have something colorful and bright for a change rather than primarily utilitarian. My only two (small) complaints are the drawstring toggle on the main compartment of the bag, it feels a little over designed and more complicated than it needs to be in my opinion considering that it’s only job is to hold a small amount of tension on a string, you have to hold onto a tiny little loop and pull against the weight of the bag in one direction while pulling the string itself in the other direction. My other small complaint is that there aren’t loops on the bottom for extra storage or a sleeping pad…both minor problems that are easily overlooked with the superior quality of the rest of the bag ... show more

  • Great pack!
Size: Small/Medium Color: Deep Water Blue
I like how the pack is adjustable to make the fit better with different weights and size of the contents. I found it weird to be on the trail with something so new and aesthetically pleasing after using my last one for over 20 years! I would like a small secure zippered pocket on the outside for the things I use often while hiking, like gps navigation device, car keys, reading glasses, compass, etc. I imagine I will adjust to this new one though. ... show more

  • Well made
Size: Small/Medium Color: Black
I know nothing about backpacking and I have nothing to compare this product to. I've taken it out a couple of times and I have no complaints.

  • Outstanding pack
Size: Large/X-Large Color: Black
Frame is unbelievable. This is a very well crafted 65L pack. I backpack for weeks at a time and it has never let me down once. Never have I found myself re-adjusting either. Perfect adjustments. If you find yourself in the mountains a lot. It’s worth the money.
