Comfortable, light and well thought out.

I love how it fits. It's comfortable under load and has pocket space to fit a days worth of stuff.

All you kit has to be packed carefully so that it is long and flat as the frame forces it to be that way.

Very good pack, would recommend for day trips.

HAS ITS PROBLEMS

great to carry,for skiing and backpacking.Really makes a difference.

zips do not allow so much flexibility..The frame joints can break fter a few years use,difficult to repair.Difficult to get a reply from Osprey

really like it to carry and its fit.

THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD

-Tough as hell: I've had this bag for over a year now, and since then it's been all over the country, slung in overhead compartments, tumbled down hills and been completely overpacked-and it's still going like the day I bought it!
-Light: Ok, so it's not going to be anywhere near your GoLite stuff, but at just over 1kg it's a huge weight off your back with bags of a similar size.
-Adaptable: This is one of the first 35lt bags that has an all round zip that will actually hold up to proper mullering-I took it Interrailing for a month, completely overpacked and yet I was still able to organise everything and reach it easily. Being able to use the vent section was a godsend. It cut down on the breathability a lot, but for the little things I couldn't fit anywhere else in the bag having that extra emergency space was ideal :D

I got the old version, with a half zip either side, so it didn't go all the way round-get the new version with the full zip as this is so much more adaptable, my travelling buddy got the new one and she loved it!

Get this, and you'll never need another bag-unless you're planing on going up t'Andes!

COMFORTABLE

Extremely comfortable and very light. I couldn't believe it when I put it on for the first time. It was like no other rucksack that I have experienced. Choice of bladder location. Large external stretchy pocket. Side pockets. Waistbelt pockets.

Panel loading. I just prefer top loaders. The framework inpinges too far into the load space. Not totally convinced that the airspeed system will work. It needs some sort of side vent in my opinion. Zip catches on cover too often. No rain cover. Not waterproof. Narrow straps. All grey version not available in the UK.

It is without doubt a very comfortable rucksack. I use my rucksacks daily to carry my stuff to work as well as to wander the hills and carry my shopping so it has to serve many purposes. I was disappointed to find that it didn't come with a raincover and that will add another £16 to the price. I was extremely pleased though to get the rucksack for £81 deivered from Hike-Lite. After initial excitement the pack's limitations are making themselves known, but the comfort, as long as not heavily loaded, will make up for the drawbacks. My greatest worry is when I take it on a plane, if the frame will survive if the baggage handlers put a large pack on top of it.

BLOODY FANTASTIC!

Huge size, for a 35litre pack it fits everything I need for a 2+ day hike, and some. Build quality is superb, extremly comfy, And very very very light. And you get a built in Whistle on the chest strap!

Slightly more padding could be put on the shoulder area.

Excellent
