Straps work the best and it's definitely not as padded as my osprey atmos, but on a recent 40 mile trip up at standing indian, i found it to be really...

I returned this bag as I wanted a regular hiking backpack. This might be great for backpacking trip but for a day hike it is not the right choice. It was bulky and felt very heavy on shoulders.

Low on the back pad is some foam padding that for what ever reason kept digging into my back on the hike. I kept talking off the pack and readjusting the load but couldn’t get it to stop. Some other concerns were some of the materials seemed a bit cheap like the mesh on the exterior pouch on the back. Not the worst for the money and REI stands behind their products

I suppose it's thicker just because you're going to put more belongings in a 60 litre backpack. But the shoulder straps fully adjustable and the shoul...

Second, for full disclosure, I have not been compensated for this review, and I own 14 or more Osprey products. All that said, I did not have this particular size and design so I ordered it and WOW!! The design and function is only exceeded by the product appearance appeal! Truly exquisite design and engineering delivered perfectly in every way. This size is perfectly suited for its design and there is no wasted or frivolous space. Utterly masterful in how Osprey always seem to get it right

Use a bic lighter instead of the fire starter, invest in a quality sleeping pad with like a Nemo alpine (can use in winter) it’s way more comfortable than what you selected. Go with the Tungsten 2p tent, it’s a quality tent that will last. You don’t have to be ultralight but you should seriously take into consideration the weight of the items and more importantly the size of the items in making your decision on what to buy. You won’t need that whole cook set, it’s going to take up a lot of space

We look at the side of the pack. there's some very deep pockets there, accessible from the side as well as the top. Now, each one of those pockets wil...

That leaves this large 57 liter pack weighing in at 2, pounds 4 ounces. Well, that's not the absolute lightest pack on the market. I feel like it's a ...
