Committed to the environment, the Osprey Circuit Daypack is made up of more than 70% recycled next generation materials, to meet the growing demands of the eco-conscious urban warrior. Utilizing 100% recycled PET (water/soda bottles) main body fabric, 100% recycled removable web waiststrap, and 100% recycled reground buckles, at 1900 cubic inches this backpack remains a roomy, feature stacked utility workhorse. Fully organized, it features a zippered top entry to a laptop sleeve, large front pocket with organizer, and internal music pouch with wire ports. Environmentally conscious and able to carry your life possessions, what more could you ask for.
ecological and stylish pack
I actually have the similar Cypher pack, which is a little smaller than Circuit. The rainforest green pack has gorgeous styling, and is very functional. Looks way better in person than in any photo I have seen. Very comfortable to wear and carry heavy items (such as textbooks). Styling is professional and trendy. This pack is quite appropriate to wear around town and to work, but I would not hesitate to use it for hiking.
The zipper side pockets are really nice. Many uses for the various other pockets. I bought this pack for college classes and lab materials. I need to access stuff frequently, and protect contents. The dividers are very well designed. I also intend to use this pack for airline carry-on travel, as it is perfect size and convenient to access things quickly, yet everything zips up nicely in a streamlined fashion.
And it is ecological! Recycle!

Disappointed
This new Osprey has some nice features: made of recycled material, specific opening to reach laptop, the front panel, sleeve on front of laptop sleeve for papers, and zippered side pockets. It is also a good size. The drawbacks: useless organizer panel with only 3 slots for thumb drives, laptop flops around in pocket and not much padding on the bottom and the recycled material does not have much body. Pack does not hold shape unless full and one has to hold on to the material to open the zippers. I tried one on in the store with my laptop on board and it felt good. The one I received in the mail seemed to be different. Although the pack fits shorter torsos, this one felt awkward. I'm sticking with my Recon and sending this one back even though I really wanted to like this pack.
Step 1 - Pack Sizing
All Osprey packs, save the transit bags, are available in multiple sizes to fit a range of torso lengths. To find your torso length, have a friend measure your back along the spine from the level of your iliac crest (the top of your hipbones) to your C7 (the knobby bone at the base of your neck).
Step 2 - Hipbelt Sizing
To determine your hipbelt size measure around your hips, not your waist. A properly fitted hipbelt rides centered over the hipbones and needs to be very snug; after all it will be carrying the bulk of the pack's weight. The padded portion should wrap well around your hips, leaving a gap of 3 to 6 inches between the tips of the pads when securely tightened.
| Torso Length | Pack Size | Hip Measurement | Hipbelt Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| > 22" | XLarge | > 36" | XLarge |
| 20-22.5" | Large | 33-37" | L or WL |
| 18-20.5" | Medium | 30-34" | M or WM |

ErgoPull
Nearly all Osprey hipbelts use an exclusive ErgoPull design. It creates mechanical advantage to provide extra leverage in cinching down the hipbelt. The ErgoPull design also draws tension along the top and bottom of the belt, not through the center, so it distributes pressure more evenly over the padding and relieves direct pressure on the hipbones.
Step 3 - Harness
Osprey Crescent & Luna, Aether & Ariel and Waypoint packs offer interchangeable shoulder harnesses. Harness sizing usually corresponds to pack size, but your best bet is to try one on. A properly fit harness should terminate 2 to 3" beneath the armpit. Webbing should not touch the body. By breaking the hook and loop connection and sliding the harness up and down the backpanel the torso length can be adjusted up to 3". (see illustration).
| Men's | SM | MD | Large | XLarge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Women's | WXS | WSM | WM | WL |
Step 4 - Overall Fit
Once you have the correct size pack, harness and hipbelt, and the torso length set properly, it's time to put some weight in the pack (20 to 30 pounds of well distributed weight will do) and dial in the fit. First, snug down the hipbelt and harness. Connect the sternum strap (A) - position it about 2 inches below your collarbones and snug it down lightly. Finally, tighten the load lifter straps to draw the load solidly against your back. The lift straps (B) should come off your shoulders at a 45 to 60 degree angle in Osprey's ReCurve and Ethereal Suspension packs. In other models these straps serve more as compression straps and ride flatter; they may even angle downwards.
In a good fit, there should be no pressure points and no gaps between your body and the pack. With Osprey's ReCurve packs, final tweaking may involve custom fitting the aluminum stays to your back.
Offered in colors: Glacier Blue, Panda, Rainforest Green and Redwood.
