A technical daypack for light and fast backcountry adventure, the Osprey Stratos daypack is perfect for day hiking, an afternoon at the crags, even bike commuting. The sophisticated AirCore suspension system allows for full air circulation without sacrificing a stable, form-fitting carry. Briefly, the AirCore backpanel consists of two fiberglass struts with a center stabilization disc anchored into top and bottom ABS wings. Over the top of this lightweight hardware a tensioned mesh backpanel provides the breathable pack to body contact. The Osprey Stratos backpack offers numerous organization pockets, including handy hipbelt pockets for small necessities, side stretch woven pockets designed for quick access to water bottles, and a large zippered front pocket in addition to the front panel access to the main compartment. Dubbed the StraightJacket compression system, the Osprey Stratos backpack features arching flaps on either side of the front pocket, connected via the two compression straps to wrap the load securely so it doesn't shift. For smaller packs with the AirCore suspension, be sure to check out the Osprey Stratos 18 and Osprey Stratos 12.
Osprey Packs
I really like this Osprey pack, It's great for school, and doing a short day hike for the weekends. Like the dual Ice Pick loops on the bottom, although I don't plan on using them.
Excellent
Great pack, top quality. I have a very short back but the small fits me fine.
Great Pack
One of the best if not the best day pack I have ever owned and I have owned alot of packs. It is very stable and comfortable to carry. It's very versitale. It has great back ventalation for hot summer hikes and has the straps needed to take on winter excursions. It carries my snowshoes, trekking poles, ice axe and even snowboard. I highly recomend buying this pack. Used over a 1000 miles and still in great condition...
Great Backpack
I bought this pack primarily to use for weekend trips I took while studying in Europe. The AirCore design makes it difficult to pack at first, but once you get the hang of it it's totally worth it. I'm 6'3" 190 and the large fits well. Hipbelt pockets and the two horizontal straps are very handy. Side pockets fit Sigg's easily and Nalgene's with a little force. Hope this helps.
Great fit and excellent quality
This pack is an excellent fit. I have small shoulders and I ordered the small pack and it fit perfectly. The quality is excellent. Cant wait to use it on my upcoming hiking trips!
