I love my new pack, it was shipped fast and on time. Thanks!
GALEN PAVONE - 2009-12-12GREAT ALL AROUND PACK
This pack was purchased for my son-in law who lives and climbs in Colorado. He liked my Osprey pack so much, I purchased this one for him. My pack has been on the Inca Trail in Peru and on Adirondack Mountains. I love it! The mesh back keeps me dry and comfy. The straps are super and adjust very well to pack loads. Best pack I have ever owned!

Used it for a 10-day trip to Patagonia. Carried it through rain, sleet, and snow. Handled great, fit all of my gear. Best of all, I carried it onto various planes and stored it both in the storage bin overhead AND under the seat in front of me. Love it.

I used this pack all summer for leading hiking trips with small groups. It easily held enough gear and food for our day hikes and was comfortable enough to be used every day without getting pack sores. I'm glad I took the time to find a good pack. I can't wait to take this thing into the mountains.
Anonymous - 2008-04-23Great day pack!
Altrec staff recommended this pack to me and I love it! I took it with me to Thailand, Nepal and a trek through Bhutan. For three weeks it held everything I need on the plane or on the trail. Easy to adjust in different ways.
Scott Wolfe - 2007-08-03Very nice pack for long dayhikes or short backpacks.
Extremely comfortable. I've worn it about 20 times now. Can handle decent load, easily 25 pounds. Seems to be durable. Very versatile. Buckles are unique but seem to work great. Can hardly feel the shoulder straps, even with weight. Hope I don't ever have to use the whistle in the sternum strap, but it's there if needed. Lots of straps. I like this pack.
Ron White - 2007-06-11Very well made.
I've used this several times. The fit is great, very comfortable, good fittings. The bag compartment for the water bag is well done.
No drawbacks yet.
Tim Rogers - 2009-07-29Not for me....
Shoulder harness way to light gray/white as compared to others I've seen out there in other gear shops. To many straps, still prefer the single waist belt system. Could be a good BackPack for others, but not for me..

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.
