I originally bought the Gregory Maven after researching and getting fitted by REI. I wanted it to work, but it dug into my neck. The straps were too narrow for my neck. I took it back to REI to see if I was adjusting it incorrectly and just didn’t fit right. I tried on a few and despite so many negative reviews went home with the EJA 58. Admittedly, I’m new to backpacking and didn’t wear it for miles and miles days on end. However, I did carry more weight on a rougher trail. The other ladies carried less weight and both had sore spots (one with Deva and the other with UL). I had none! This pack was so comfortable for me! I loved so many things about this pack! Comfortable, the vented panel, side pole stowing, and light! The only negative would be the hip pockets are ... MoreI originally bought the Gregory Maven after researching and getting fitted by REI.

I have been searching for a comfortable pack that can carry about 25-35 pounds of gear, and I like it in the pack and not hanging on the outsides too much as it rains a lot where I live (hence a 50-60L pack). This pack fit the bill: large volume, lite weight and adjustable. First issue: it is light weight because it is skimpy foam on the shoulders and waist belt- so the pack just digs in- it was awful. If you have a 55L pack you can expect to need some padding to make the load comfortable. No, Osprey wasted the weight with some odd frame that keeps the pack away from your back so you don't sweat. Well, you sweat anyway when backpacking, and the load is so far away from your body it pulls you backwards at all times (strike #2) on little thin padded shoulders straps, ... MoreI have been searching for a comfortable pack that can carry about 25-35 pounds of gear, and I like it in the pack and not hanging on the outsides too much as it rains a lot where I live (hence a 50-60L pack).

The pack is adjustable- you slip buckles into the odd back frame to adjust the pack size- only the buckles don't stay in as you walk and climb over and under things (Issue 3)- so it comes undone a lot, which can be dangerous when your whole pack shifts to one side! Issue 4- they also save weight with little tiny straps- the load lifters, the straps that go around the sides to snug the load down- they used straps like you see on a 18L day pack- so the weight of the load made them slide open constantly. The entire three day trip was a nightmare if my pack pulling me backward, killing my shoulders and pits with the baby shoulder straps and praying it would not come apart on the same side as the ledges I was traversing. I feel like they were trying to imitate a certain arc backpack frame but they missed it completely! Pushing the load so far back throws your whole game off. First hike I could not wait to get home so I could get this thing off of me.

I love osprey products and unfortunately found that most of their products do not fit XS torsos. However. The EJA is the exception. It fits through the shoulders and leaves plenty of room for tightening the hip belt. It’s like wearing a hug. I did 3 10+mile days with this pack (48l) and it was just the right size for my and my dog’s needs.The ONLY complaint I have is that the shoulder padding could use reinforcements. I found the material shredding my shirt and leaving friction burns on my collarbones after day 2. I ended up shoving my extra sun shirt under the straps to widen the coverage on my shoulders. I could probably wear thicker shirts for winter trips, but summertime screams for tank tops and breathable materials that just didn’t do enough for comfort on ... MoreI love osprey products and unfortunately found that most of their products do not fit XS torsos.

It's a bit of a gamble to order a backpack online instead of going to the store, trying one on with weights inside, walking around, etc, but when Osprey came out with a new, redesigned version of the Eja in 2022, I did a lot of research, crossed my fingers, and ordered one in size XS/S. Short version: I'm in love. Here are some specific thoughts.Use so far: I took this pack on a one-night, 8-mile overnight to test it, carrying between 20-25 lbs, climbing pretty rugged mountainous terrain. I'm a lightweight hiker, but not a super ultralight hiker — my base weight is around 15-16 lbs — and I think this pack hits that sweet spot well. I'm looking forward to taking it on multi-day trips.Fit: I am a small person (5'3", 120 lbs), I've been backpacking for 10+ years, ... MoreIt's a bit of a gamble to order a backpack online instead of going to the store, trying one on with weights inside, walking around, etc, but when Osprey came out with a new, redesigned version of the Eja in 2022, I did a lot of research, crossed my fingers, and ordered one in size XS/S.

I'm looking forward to taking it on multi-day trips.Fit: I am a small person (5'3", 120 lbs), I've been backpacking for 10+ years, and I have never had a pack that fit me this well. The adjustable shoulder straps allow you to dial in a very precise fit for your torso. The back panel is comfy — Osprey eliminated the low-back seam on earlier models that pressed into my hips when I tried an Eja a few years ago — and the airflow is excellent. The hip belt fit well, and had plenty of room to be both tighter and looser. No weird pressure points or chafing on shoulders, armpits, or hips, which has been an issue for me with other packs. I felt like a total superhero, so much that I almost decided to extend my hike by 5 miles because I was feeling so good.Pockets and straps: Love the loops for holding hiking poles. The pockets all worked nicely for me. The side compression straps are tricky to figure out at first because they have a semi-fixed point in the middle that allows you to adjust the top and bottom separately. Once I got the hang of it, it worked well. The pad straps on the bottom are long and dangly if you don't have a closed-cell foam pad or tent to strap there— I added a seat pad to my gear just to give those straps something to do, but I might remove them altogether in future. I took along a hydration system just to test that feature out, and I found the port to be awkward to wrangle the drinking tube through. I'll take bottles instead of a hydration bladder next time.Color: I got the teal green and was pleased that it ended up being a darker, more forest-y green, and less blue-teal than the pictures.Guarantee: Osprey's lifetime guarantee was definitely a factor in me buying this pack. I have friends who have used the guarantee and Osprey was great about replacing or fixing their packs. If I'm going to use this piece of gear for years and years (and I hope I do!), it will be nice to have the guarantee to rely on if and when I need it.
I took the Osprey Women's Eja 58 pack on an 8-day backpacking trip to the Grand Canyon where I carried around 35lbs of weight. Because of the lumbar length adjustment, the backpack fit my petite (5'2") frame perfectly and distributed the weight so that I never felt any pain or fatigue in my shoulders or back. The mesh back kept me from getting too hot and sweaty on my back. I loved the two pockets on the waist straps, and I figured out how to squeeze in my switchback sleeping pad. The large pocket in the back and the two on the sides were handy for carrying water and various things. I wish the pack came with instructions on all of the ways the various components could be used, as I know the top can be removed but I don't know if it could serve as a day pack.

The size was perfect for what I needed, the ergonomic fitting made it possible for me to carry the weight over precarious footing with ease. The only negative is that one of the rubber fasteners shredded without being used that much, but compared to how wonderful the pack is, this is a minor issue.
Overall a great lightweight pack. First trip with it was 3 days on AT. Super comfortable, great adjustments, plenty of room (I packed 22 pounds), fit perfectly on my 5'3" self (XS/S size). I'm shortwaisted as well. Two issues. The hip pouches on each side are too far back to easily get snacks out...once you open the zipper hip pouches it's hard to get the zipper to pull closed again. The other issue was the reach to get my Smartwater out of the side pockets. The angular pocket openings are too "high up" to reach back and grab the bottle but I managed to reach back and push it up further with my right hand and reach around and grab it out with my left hand. I could not put the bottle back in the side pocket as I could not do it with my right hand as the pull loop to ... MoreOverall a great lightweight pack. First trip with it was 3 days on AT.

Luckily I hike with friends and they helped. : D
Generally, being a small person means that usually I have very limited choices when buying packs, so it's always a relief when a brand remembers that there are short-torsoed people who need lightweight packs. I took this pack on several multi-day trips this summer, carrying a maximum of around 27lbs. This is the best fitting pack I've tried and used in the last 20 years. The suspension is amazing and evenly distributes the load, and I love the mesh Airspeed back panel. Yes, my back got sweaty, but it was much better than had there not been the pack panel! The fabric is durable, and I'm really happy with this pack. For these reasons, the Osprey Eja 58 gets 5 stars.There are a couple of quirks with this pack that I quickly got used to. First, the webbing is narrower ... MoreGenerally, being a small person means that usually I have very limited choices when buying packs, so it's always a relief when a brand remembers that there are short-torsoed people who need lightweight packs.

First, the webbing is narrower than I've seen on other packs, and the cinching system on the sides (kind of a switchback pattern?) is a little wonky to operate and it takes some manipulation to make sure that it's evenly distributed throughout the side. Second, the sternum strap is kind of high, and I'd love to have it lower.Overall, I'm really pleased with this pack.
I bought the Eja a few years ago (so double check my discussion of the specs - some might be outdated) as my first backpacking pack, and it's been well used since then. I use it to trek my climbing gear to the crag, as a traditional pack for multi-day hikes, as my bag for any camping trip, and have used it on month long backpackign trips around Europe and South America. I'm not exactly careful with it, but it has never ripped and had held up well to my rougher use! I'm 5'4" and about 140 pounds and bought the XS/S. It fits my waist well and the support straps have been wonderful for me because I have an old spine injury and many hiking packs give me severe back pain.

I also had an REI associate help me adjust the bag to my body perfectly, which was wonderful (thank you REI!) So overall, I love the support structure of the bag.I also really like some of the bag specs of this pack. The top pouch is not removable as a summit pack but is great for carrying some smaller items for easy access or to keep them away from your smelly socks. The reservoir holder is also quite large and easy to access, even with a full pack, for refilling your water bladder mid-trip. It has cinch straps that help cinch down any extra fabric and hold everything steady, no matter the terrain. This has been a bonus feature whenever I have to take it on a plane. The side pockets have top and side access that make retrieving a water bottle on the go easy and allow you to stuff other things (i.e. trail garbage) into them as well.With that being said, I do wish there were more useful specs on the bag. It doesn't have rated straps to connect a tent or bear can to, although I modified mine to carry a tent fairly easily. It also does not have a bottom access zipper, so in order to get to your sleeping pad or anything packed at the bottom of the bag you will likely need to pull almost everything out from the top. Also, the XS/S is actually only 52L, not 58. Maybe that was on me for not reading the fine print before buying, but the 6L capacity difference between the XS/S and the M/L is fairly significant in my opinion.Overall, I like this pack as a smaller woman. I particularly appreciate how comfortable and supportive the structure is. It lets me carry a heavier load than I would be able to otherwise. But I'll probably go for a pack with a larger capacity and some rated straps built in for my next pack.
I purchased this pack (38L) from a hiking store in France as I was beginning the Camino Frances in the summer of 2022. The lady at the store fitted the pack to my frame, made the proper adjustments and explained about micro-adjustments while hiking. I have carried this now through 3 caminos, well over a thousand miles. It has held up perfectly and still looks practically new. It has never caused brusing around the hips. It fits my body like a glove and with the weight properly distributed inside, I sometimes forget I have it on.It sits high in the back and sometimes bumps the back of my Tilley hat, but that is the only complaint I have about this pack (not really a complaint- just a note).The back ventilation is great. The water bottle pocket design makes it easy ... MoreI purchased this pack (38L) from a hiking store in France as I was beginning the Camino Frances in the summer of 2022.

The water bottle pocket design makes it easy to grab my water from the pocket while on the go (I have not tried it with a camelbak bladder).The waist belt pockets are a good size.At first I was not delighted with the slender, tall design, but after the first few miles over the Pyrenees, I was loving it.I am 60 years old, 5'8", weigh 120 lbs. My pack is M/L.
I was fitted in the store by REI backpack staff and they sized me at an XS. Of course they didn't have it in stock so I couldn't try it on before ordering it - I was able to try on a Medium in the 58L that they did have in stock, if I recall that size correctly, so we (staff and I) went off of that and my fitted measurement. When it arrived I loved how light it was. It felt comfy with zero weight. I put in 20lbs of gear and hiked not even 15 miles on a small overnight trip and within the first half mile I knew it didn't fit. The shoulder straps near the neck area was a little too narrow and rubbed my neck slightly, something I didn't notice with zero weight. I constantly felt like I was being pulled backwards, like top-heavy and badly packed packs can do. My ... MoreI was fitted in the store by REI backpack staff and they sized me at an XS.

The shoulder straps near the neck area was a little too narrow and rubbed my neck slightly, something I didn't notice with zero weight. I constantly felt like I was being pulled backwards, like top-heavy and badly packed packs can do. My back/spine felt compressed and it felt like all the pack weight was on my shoulders (not transferred to hips). I re-adjusted the lift loaders, torso straps, and even waist straps probably 3 dozen times during the short trip trying to find relief; the only "relief" I could get was making the torso straps a little looser and hooking my thumbs behind them near the top and literally pulling the weight away from my top back/shoulders with my hands/arms, which of course fatigued my arms after a short while and interfered with trekking pole use. I even tried re-arranging my gear about 8 times trying to determine if this particular pack had a different, secret way to arrange gear. I sincerely believe the trampoline system puts the weight location too far away from the back, resulting in that backwards pull. The hard, bent curve of the frame also meant it packed weirdly.. I could only fit very highly compressible things in the middle where the inner part of the curve is. As in, it was roomy enough in the bottom (slightly small though) but you had to be very selective about what could be placed near the middle, even after extending the side compression straps (can't add more fabric no matter how much exterior strap there is). I hated this pack. I thought maybe I was just sized wrong and all the pain-related problems were due to incorrect sizing but when I returned it and tried on another size that they had in stock (the Small 58L I think?), and after they put 20lbs of weight in it, I didn't even have to walk around the store to know it didn't fit either. It still had all of the problems that the smaller size had, even with all possible strap adjustment combinations were made. I do believe the first pack was too small, based on the fact that the waist belt could just never settle low enough on my hips without causing top-end issues, but the larger size really didn't solve anything either.. so I think the first was too small plus the design in general is terrible so the brand/version will never win. On a positive note, the hip belt was comfy (maybe because it had no weight on it?) and customer service went above and beyond when I had to return the pack.

Reach for the Eja 48 for the perfect mid-size ultra-light, with plenty of room to put in the miles, but not so much that you're tempted to overpack. Highly experienced backpackers will appreciate industry-leading comfort and ventilation - without the weight it often adds - making it the perfect pack for committing thru-hikes and ultralights like the AT or Colorado Trail. Need to trim some extra weight? An integrated FlapJacket takes the place of the removable floating lid in a pinch.
