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 adore this pack. It's so comfortable, and the mesh on the back is a huuuuuuge factor in that. It hugs my back and distributes the weight perfectly, while also letting some breeze hit my back and keeping me cool. I also love that my water reservoir doesn't sit right on my back, so my water stays cooler. The pack has so much space and plenty of great little features - I have a feeling I'm still going to be discovering new and useful things about it years down the line. I love the removable pack brain, so I can store my essentials in there and only bring that into my tent with me at night - very handy. Highly recommend.

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).

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, which are so thin and so short. 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.

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 got this pack after a car wreck and had 2 broken vertebra and 2 pelvic fractures. The air suspension in this pack has made backpacking possible for me. The 58 liters is ample room to pack everything I have needed on overnight and long weekend backpacking trips. I have a lot of packs but none even come close to the comfort of carrying this Osprey Eja 58. It is very durable for only weighing 2.5lbs. My pack weight hovers around 20lbs and even with a broken spine...this pack is comfortable to carry. The weight is very evenly distributed. I thought I would struggle with not having side waist pockets however I am using a front waist pack and I have found that to be a lot easier to grab from and I like it much better than side pockets. I definitely recommend this pack ... MoreI got this pack after a car wreck and had 2 broken vertebra and 2 pelvic fractures. The air suspension in this pack has made backpacking possible for me.

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 had high hopes for this backpack. In an effort to reduce my pack weight and maintain a lightweight backpacking system I chose to change my pack based on reviews and my husbands love for his Exos 48. I previously had the women's Aura 65, which I loved but I could not justify the empty pack weight and volume that was just too heavy for frequent and longer thru-hiking trips. I started out with high hopes, my first use of this pack was a 5 day thru-hike and my pack weight was in and around around 21lbs. The shoulder straps started to bother me after a day or so, my waist held most of the heavier weight but the shoulder straps somehow align strangely to cause excess pressure to pull down on my collar bone. I adjusted the pack every which way to see if I could alter it ... MoreI had high hopes for this backpack.

The shoulder straps started to bother me after a day or so, my waist held most of the heavier weight but the shoulder straps somehow align strangely to cause excess pressure to pull down on my collar bone. I adjusted the pack every which way to see if I could alter it but the straps continued to bear down and pressed against my collarbone causing a swollen sore spot on each shoulder...clasping the chest strap made little difference, it made it feel worse as it compressed down also. The repeated days carrying this pack also caused a deep tissue non-visible bruising on and around my hip bones on both sides which was noticeable each time I cinched in the waist. The wider frame of this pack causes it to topple over when placed on the ground and the outer frame 'hips' of the main body are susceptible to abrasion and the fabric split open within a few days on my pack. I have come to the conclusion that this pack was a basic design road-tested on men and a women's version was added to fulfill the demand. This pack has no particular changes or alterations for a women's curves or fuller chest and it fails as a result. This backpack is a big disappointment as I am a utter Osprey nerd, I consider Osprey a backpacking pioneer brand. Unfortunately, there are no Osprey models with these same features and with a lightweight frame. I might attempt to attach some natural sheepskin to the shoulder straps and hips straps to try to make it more comfortable but I expected more from Osprey.
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 ... MoreI 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 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 have an older version that I got from the REI outlet but I LOVE this pack and will sing it’s praises every chance I get. I’ve hiked the majority of the Arizona Trail with it and I’ve never gotten shoulder, neck or back pain. The hip strap is on tight! It fits everything I need and I have the brain off completely for less weight. No back sweat either! I’m 5’6” with a long torso and lean frame and I feel like it was literally designed for my body. So grateful to Osprey for making this pack. It has a little wear and tear but I’ve put so many miles on it over the span of two years I cannot complain. I wish mine had hip pockets but I just use a Fanny pack instead which is great.
This is a really good, lightweight, simple pack. I will disagree with others and say please do NOT put hip belt pockets on this pack. I chose this pack because I hate bulky foam hip belts with bulky pockets and this is one of the few packs on the market with a nice low profile hip belt. The huge side stuff pockets more than make up for the lack of hip belt pockets and are far more useful. For those curious, I was able to fit a BV500 bear vault in this pack along with all my other gear for solo backpacking (took some tetris, but totally worked). I love those side stuff pockets - I actually put my water bladder on the outside of my pack in the side pocket for more effecient packing and easy access for refilling. Only ding is limited adjustability - I have a long torso ... MoreThis is a really good, lightweight, simple pack. I will disagree with others and say please do NOT put hip belt pockets on this pack.

I was impressed at how well it fit with no torso adjustment and still preferred this pack to others that I find have too much extra stuff/ weight involved in the adjustability, but I don't have any more waist adjustment left as it is pulled all the way in. That being said I do really like this pack for its no frills and basic comfort.
