What to know about Osprey
Built around custom pack fitting
Mike Pfotenhauer began in 1974 sewing packs to individual bodies and still leads design, which is why suspension systems like Anti-Gravity define the range.
Repairs are part of the price
Every pack carries an all-mighty repair guarantee, so the $150-$400 spend is framed around keeping a bag in use rather than replacing it.
Trail rigs and commuter bags both
The line runs from Atmos AG, Aether and Talon backpacking loads through hydration and bike packs to the small Daylite daypack and wheeled luggage.
