Great rucksack , gave it its debut on a 12 mile around the lakes on Saturday. Really comfortable and loads of room. The only critique I would say is the pole storage. Under your arms they just get in the way. I just double rapped the straps to have them on the rear of the sack.

This bag is so well designed in so many ways. I tried hard to make it work, but in the end returned for three reasons. First, it is very difficult to get a 2L bladder into the external sleeve. It fits fine empty, but with any volume it is nearly impossible. I tried packing gear differently to allow more room with no luck. I could get the bladder in and take it out, but it was very difficult and not worth the hassle. Second, the back was much less comfortable with the water bladder inside. Just not the comfort I expect with Osprey. Finally, I found the harness uncomfortable. I’m 5’2, petite with a 17” torso, toned shoulders and a small chest. The harness put pressure on my collar bones and felt restrictive. There is a lot to love about this bag, so if you don’t plan ... MoreThis bag is so well designed in so many ways.

The main bag is easy to access and holds a lot for the size. The front mesh pocket and two side pockets are generous. It carries weight well. The zippered pocket in the harness actually fits an iPhone 13.

Almost perfect. Pos: Finally a running vest harness system hooray, better late than never. However the same on both sides would have been great. Side pockets fantastic and huge same on the front. Hip belt pocket aswell are great. The ability to strap at the bottom of the pack gives great options. Now onto the negatives and the biggest one for me that lid is hideous and not really practical imo, it will let water in with cross wind a roll top would have been better and better still a conventional brain like other brand fast pack's which would have given a couple of extra pockets. Instead you've put this stretch lid on to house a helmet. The back plate is not comfortable for me, you can feel it dig in with 6 kilos. Could have done better, it was returned because of ...

Finally a hiking pack/vest combo! LOVE the practicality of this - decent stowage options for phone, shades, water flasks, etc all within easy reach. Even the deep side pouches can be easily accessed, without needing to take off the pack, vis side grab holes. The only reason I’m not giving a full 5/5* is for two reasons - the top flap closure is disappointing as it’s insubstantial - the closure hook system is a faff. Plus - there’s no integral rain cover.
This is the first pack I've ever used that has completely eliminated back pain while hiking for me. The capacity is pretty good - I wish there were a bottom access for it, but that's not a deal breaker. I've used this for everything from small day hikes where I'm carrying more than usual up to an overnight.The running vest style straps have been both my favorite and least favorite parts of this bag. I love that I can fit my phone in the zipper compartment and can carry some extra nutrition, flasks, and bear spray, but much like my regular running vests, they hold a smell. And unlike my regular running vests, I can't just throw them in the wash when I get home. So I haven't loved having to wash the whole thing after every use, but otherwise it's a great pack.
Absolutely love this pack. I've been looking for something like this for a few years - a sub-40L backpack that could be used equally well for long single day adventures, weekend backpacking trips, and ultralight multi-day trips - and tried different options without ever being satisfied. I finally found what I was looking for in this pack. It has everything I need and want, and nothing I don't want. The running vest style chest straps work great and are a big advantage of this pack compared to others, IMO. I've taken it on some full day runs/hikes and if you don't have too much gear, the chest straps hold it in place like a running vest. Large zippered pockets on the hip belt and shoulder straps are great for snacks and your phone. The frame of the 20L and 30L ... MoreAbsolutely love this pack.

I've taken it on some full day runs/hikes and if you don't have too much gear, the chest straps hold it in place like a running vest. Large zippered pockets on the hip belt and shoulder straps are great for snacks and your phone. The frame of the 20L and 30L versions are the same size and height, and are very similar weight, so I opted for the 30L as it seems more versatile. The outside mesh pocket stretches a lot to add some more storage space as well. Overall I think this pack is incredible, and after oohing and ahhing over it for a month, my partner got one too. We did a week long hut to hut trip in the Dolomites this summer and this was the perfect pack for it.
For me I would prefer a roll-top rather than the drawstring closer to help keep a bit of the rain out.Also would like to see drainage holes in the waist belt pouches.The chest elastic’s are a bit weak I’d prefer a less stretchy option or designed so they are easy to replace with a strap rather than elastic’s.I’m being a bit picky but will be using this for light leading trips and still think it’s a great choice.
I really really like this pack. I'm about 5'3" so the XS is perfect. The hip belts don't dig into my hips that much with about 10 pounds of weight in the pack. The shoulder straps are super comfy and the pack cinches down pretty well. It's one of the few packs I have that actually have decently sized phone pockets for an iPhone 15 Pro Max. The hip belts are not sized for a phone, it's really only the pockets that rest on the shoulder straps that are. You have one internal pocket in the main compartment and that's it, but I didn't really find that too much of an issue. You also have like 4 external mesh pockets that are really nice to stuff a jacket or a rain cover into.My gripes with this pack do not outweigh that this really is one of the better packs I've tried ...

You also have like 4 external mesh pockets that are really nice to stuff a jacket or a rain cover into.My gripes with this pack do not outweigh that this really is one of the better packs I've tried from Osprey so far, so I'm giving it 5 stars. This pack really is very good.My first issue is the water bladder compartment. It sits directly behind the airscape velcro backing where you can adjust the torso length size for the pack. Putting a water bladder into this pack is one of the more frustrating experiences I've ever dealt with. You very nearly cannot put a full 3L water bladder into this pack while the pack is full of stuff, the bottom of the bladder almost always gets caught on something that is inside the main compartment of your pack and bends upwards, causing the bladder to just get stuck and not able to be pushed down any further. When I finally figured out how to do all this, it was a little bit easier, but no where near just being able to put it in and go. I couldn't imagine trying to do this while on the trail at a river or a faucet or something, you'd almost certainly have to unpack your entire pack just to do that. The reservoir also takes up a large amount of space inside the pack.My second issue is the drawstring that closes the main compartment of the pack. It's literally just a custom length shoe string colored in whatever color the pack is colored (mine was pink), which is fine, it means that I can replace the drawstring when it inevitably frays, which I think might just happen. The drawstring is so tight against the part that cinches the string down, with absolutely no ability to release this tension to open the pack. So you have to awkwardly and forcefully pull the string outward while holding onto the orange cincher tab, so it makes it feel like you'll fray the drawstring. It's just a really weird design choice, and it's a weird experience.This pack is great and the issues I mentioned don't negate what I find to be really awesome about it, I just wish Osprey did some things differently with the pack.
It would be better with a proper lid with pockets instead of a little flap of mesh which doesn't stay fastened anyway unless the pack is full and lets rain in and allows pack contents to fall out. And why not have a zip pocket on each shoulder strap instead of a tiny mesh one which you couldn't rely on anything staying in it. Why have an ice axe pick guard on this pack and yet not on your ski mountaineering packs where you are almost certainly going to be carrying axe(s)? The flask pockets on the shoulder straps dwarf my 600ml flasks for some reason. Otherwise it's a comfortable carry.
I like the pockets on the front but not keen on the fastening for the flap on top of the main back pocket. If the rucksack is not full it is not at all tight. Will be interesting to see how it works for a full day walking. Also the pocket on the inside of this flap doesn't seem to be very useful (but I don't mind this too much as wouldn't put anything there anyway - unless it had a zip) Zipped pocket inside main bag is useful for purse/keys etc. Could improve pockets on front if you could tighten them instead of just having a tab on them.
