Love my Osprey Stratos 34. Even my Osprey Syncro 20 has a trampoline back. The usual ridged foam approach is better than nothing but I don't think it works very well. There's no airflow to take your sweat away. Yes, the wire required for a trampoline back to work makes a stiffer, heavier backpack. I

Love my Osprey Stratos 34. Based on that, either the Stratos or Manta 24. Same suspension, one of them comes with a hydration bladder. I like my REI Flash 22 way better than I thought I would. The Osprey Talon 22 is incredibly popular. They have different attitudes about structure and support and I

I hear Osprey Stratos 34 is a very popular choice among photographers due to its large zip opening and excellent suspension. Pair it with a Lowepro GearUp Box of the size appropriate for your kit and you’re good to go.

Laughs in 34 or 42 L. Enjoy the pack. It's fine. It's light, right? A marginal amount of extra bulk isn't that big a deal. Did you load all the stuff you mentioned for the picture? Granted, everyone lies a bit about backpack volume but I think somewhere in the 20's is perfect for day hiking. If it's

Love my Osprey Stratos 34. I used it for something probably a bit more supported and it was awesome. It also comes in a Women's, the Sirrus, and the Manta/Mirra are pretty similar but with a hydration pack right out of the box. The frame doesn't work for everyone so your daughter should buy in perso

I’ve used the Stratos 34L on several Caminos over the last 10 years. I purchased mine in 2015. The style has slightly changed, but it is an awesome pack! Never had a problem with it as a carry-on either.The other pack I have used on Caminos is the Osprey Hikelite 32L. It’s also a great pack, but the

34-38L is what I've seen the most out here. Don't go bigger than that. (I'm on day 24 out of 28 days so far and I've got a 34L, with some room to spare). Bag: Osprey Stratos 34. EXTREMELY well made I'm so impressed. Shoes: light and fluffy. Hoka Speedgoats for me. Half a size bigger than normal.

Kinda shocked by the answers here tbh. I feel like most ppl are trying to make you feel better rather than actually helping you. Im in the middle of my camino atm. Ive been paying attention to everyone’s backpack throughout the way because im a backpack nerd and most (more than 80%) of folks’ daypac

I love my Osprey Stratos 34. It's a bit big in the summer but when I start getting into layers and maybe microspikes it's perfect. Definitely try it on though: some people find them too narrow. It's not just about volume. Again, especially when layers and any metallic gear get into the picture, a go
