Solid pack
The Exos34 is a great day or overnight pack. It's light and very comfortable, with good ventilation/air flow. The straps are a bit thin, but I suppose that's part of the reason it is light. Overall a nice backpack.

Great for Light Stuff
Pack is great. Used it for hut trip in Patagonia, would have been perfect except that my camera gear pushed the weight limit a little over the limit. This is a very well thought out design, especially the hip pockets and gear attachments. Just keep in mind that this is a pack for light journeys, the harness/supports are just not meant for heavy gear.

Amazing technology
In my opinion, Osprey is the best maker of backpacks. They are very well designed and you will feel this immediately after loading your backpack and putting it on. The Exos 34 is ideal for day trips with small to medium loads. The straps, buckles, and zippers are very convenient. I did not test it in the rain; however, from my previous experience I know that you always need to carry even the simplest rain poncho to protect your backpack and its contents. Please note that they are 3 sizes of each Exos backpack: Small, Medium, and Large. You need to consult the measuring chart before placing an order.

Wow! Lightweight and ready for fastpacking
I have to admit, I drooled when I received this pack. It is loaded with features and fits perfectly. This one is the best for lightweight fast travel. The outside pockets make getting at small items very do-able, as do the hipbelt pockets. I recommend this for lightweight overnights and weekends, as well as to trail runners.

Sizing Chart
Osprey Packs Sizing Chart
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.

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).

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.
