Great pack, owned it for 6 years winter in scotland and high atlas,camino de santiago,gr5 and more

Takes all I need to pack, I do not put my sleeping bag in a stuff sack just ram it down in a dry bag. If I want to keep anything dry it goes in the dry bag also. Great pockets on hip belt for nibbles, camera etc. Outside pokets makeuseful stowage when on the move.
Not sure I can think of any, never use the hydration pouch inside so wasted on me.
Much used, and I am non to gentle with my gear, it has stood up to all I've asked of it. Glad I bought it inspite of the price. I would possibly have been on a second pack if I had bought cheaper.

Poor quality textile / fit / packing / too many gimmicks

Not much in favour of this overpriced rucksack. Its internal design shape ia terrible. I would never buy Osprey again

Great sac, ideal as a Leaders Winter Sack

Comfortable, roomy, compresses well, good thought out pockets, great back system.
None so far...
Great sac for getting out when you have extra kit - as a Walking Group leader the group kit needed for Winter hiking fits in nicely in addition to my own kit.

HIGH QUALITY SAC THAT CARRIES BEAUTIFULLY

Superb quality design and build
Makes carrying loads as easy as any sac I have used
Feels like a much smaller sac
Useful pocket configuration and multi options for compressing
Premium price
No cover included
The best sac I have used. Having previously used Berghaus and been happy I am so pleased I switched. Because of the design and compression straps this works as a daysac or for short wild camping trips.

The harness design is so good the load feels like part of you and easy to carry.

Grit your teeth, pay the price and enjoy the quality.

ALMOST GREAT

Back frame system, not such a sweaty back these days with this beauty. Plus the internal zip allows you to hang your bladder in here (or stuff in whatever else you may fancy).
The hip belt pockets are grand, I store my wee nibbles in one and my camera in the other.
Stretchy front pocket is a good idea, I often find it too tight to stuff my waterproofs in but generally use it for my sit mat and maps.
Great build quality and design.
Price.
Struggles under heavier loads, especially the minimally padded shoulder straps. My shoulders don't half know about it after a long, hard walk.
Back system makes it difficult to pack as it curves into the pack. Providing your sleeping bag is small enough to get past it it's alright once you get used to it.
No raincover supplied with it, at this price you'd have sincerely hoped so
Great bag providing you can afford it, carry less than 14/15Kg and can get used to packing it with the intrusion of the back panel
