Description

Big enough for an overnighter, small enough for day trips, the Osprey Stratos 40 Backpack is a do-it-all all-star of mid-size packs. The sophisticated AirCore suspension offers support that easily handles loads up to 30 lbs. and the hipbelt even does double duty, providing small mesh pockets for handy storage of snacks, sunscreen, etc. Varied load configurations are a cinch thanks to side pockets, compression straps, and a floating top pocket. Jam a water bottle into a side pocket, and then later in the day use the same side pocket and compression strap to carry your trekking poles. Meanwhile the floating top pocket extends to accommodate gear intensive endeavors. A zippered left front pocket allows for access to the main compartment, often a faster method of reaching buried gear than digging down from the main top access.

Great pack at a great price I use this pack for carrying my climbing gear and love it. The internal volume is great, the access to the top storage is key and easy to get into even while wearing the pack. The external straps are perfect for securing my rope and the stretch pockets on the outside are great for extra clothes or bottles. The suspension system is great and the straps are comfortable. I especially love the AirCore feature since it gives a simple protected space for your hydration and keeps your back cool and dry. The pack is quite durable and well-built. Storage in the waist straps is excellent as is the ease of adjustment. I recommend this pack for anyone looking to carry a moderate amount of weight moderate distances.

Solid pack for hard-core adventures Osprey makes great packs, and the Stratos 40 lives up to the hype. This pack is built for scrambling and some peak adventures. Can double as a daypack, but it's mostly overbuilt for a simple "afternoon walk in the woods" pack. Great pack if you need heavy duty engineering.
