Stratos 24L

Osprey is hard to beat for comfort. Some bags have a frame, mesh back panel and plenty of other features to keep you comfortable. I’ve also heard good things about Gregory. But I own a a Stratos 24L and 36L bag and they are super comfortable and durable. I hike with them in Class II and Class III te

Well, my pack of choice for the Camino is the Osprey Stratos 34. But if you really wanna go smaller, Osprey makes a Stratos 24L pack as well(Sirrus 24L for women). The Stratos line of packs are super comfortable and have this great trampoline suspension system that allows tons of airflow to keep you

I’ve been running 5 miles home 2-3 times per week for almost ten years now. At first it was just commuting with my clothes, but started adding my laptop a little over five years ago. I use the Osprey Stratos 24 as my backpack, still going strong. And I use the Thule Gauntlet laptop sleeve to give my

I use the Osprey Stratos 24 and love it

I can suggest the, Osprey Stratos 24 or 34 L, Deuter futura 25 or 32 L. I like the adjustability of the Osprey packs more then the non adjustable frames of the Deuter packs.

Osprey is a really good brand, I would look at the Stratos 24 or something from the Talon line (the chest pockets on the talon velocity are cool, but may vary with personal preference). Other packs I like are by Gregory and Deuter. For overni

A 20-22L pack is a sweet spot for one person day hiking in 3 season. It fits all 10 essentials including extra layers and 3L water. Adding “for my partner” changes things. So now it’s really a 2 season pack. Meaning you can fit it all in there and it will work but you’re not going to fit two thick f

Second the rec for the Osprey Stratos 24. Excellent pack. It has a rigid frame that really helps to transfer weight to your hips once adjusted correctly. I used to always get sore shoulders but this pack solved that issue for me. I also tried on the Osprey Talon. For me, the Stratos was clearly bett

Lack of a frame doesn't necessarily mean the weight will be on his shoulders. A properly worn, wide, padded hipbelt will provide support and engage the legs. If you compare an Osprey Talon 22 to and Osprey Daylite Plus, you will notice a big difference in support for the same amount of weight. But a

Have you tried an over the shoulder mail bag? My brother swears by them. Less contact points to get sweaty. Me? I'm a backpack guy. In particular, an Osprey backpack guy. 😂 For daily commuting I'd go with either the talon or the stratos series. Talon for lightweight. Stratos for more airflow. The Ta
