Djuana Gibson - 2009-06-11High quality
This is my first time purchasing a backpack. I am impressed with the quality of the Osprey product. Although this bag is too small for my need, I will upgrade to another Osprey and spend the extra money. I think it is worth the investment and I look forward to using it often.
Carole - 2009-05-11Great for traveling light
Took this to Grand Canyon for day hikes on the trails. Perfect for water and snacks and putting jacket into when you get hot. Did not bog me down like a larger pack would.
Sue - 2008-06-21Great for Running
Me and Smudge (my Terrier) run everyday and the backpack is perfect. Enough to fit my water bottle, keys, phone and his fabric bowl. We love it.

Elvis - 2007-05-14Works well for cycling, but doesn't carry much
For riding in the street with a light load this can't be beat. It'll not carry a lot, but what you need - a small lock, fresh shirt, etc. fit fine. It sits low and is narrow enough that if you look back it doesn't muck with your vision, a boon in traffic. There were attachment buckles so I added straps across the top and bottom should I want to take my helmet off and clip it to the back, or carry something larger. Works great. The only downside is limited cargo space - compared to a large traditional backpack or messenger bag -- and a lack of any interior pockets - it's one big pocket, essentially. But it's light and rides right on the road and doesn't interfere with dodging cars.

If you own an Osprey pack to attach this one to, or even if you don't, this is an all-around Grade A backpack. I use to go running with my dogs (carry water, dog bowl, poop bags) or go hiking in the woods looking for plants (water, plastic bags, GPS, field guide) or just about anything. It's super comfortable, very light and breathable, will fit neatly under your rain shell if it is raining and do just about everything well but cook breakfast.

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.
| 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.
