Product Description

Since Osprey was founded in 1974, every single product design has passed through the hands of owner and founder Mike Pfotenhauer, who created his first backpack at age 16. In Santa Cruz, California, the young entrepreneur opened a retail shop in the front of his rental house where backpackers and travelers came for custom-fit, made-to-order packs constructed over several days by Mike himself. As the demand for the great-fitting packs increased, Osprey found itself relocating to its current home in Southwest Colorado. Today, Osprey is a melting pot of diverse personalities, backgrounds and abilities. All share the common belief that adventure is open to everyone and found anywhere.

Osprey's History

Since Osprey’s founding in 1974, every single product design bearing the Osprey name has passed through the hands of owner and founder Mike Pfotenhauer, undergoing relentless scrutiny. From stitching the first lines of custom-fitted packs, to meticulously designing innovative products with intuitive features, to forging personal relationships with the sewing operators who construct the packs, Mike has been the unbreakable thread that makes Osprey a top company.

    Comfortable, holds a lot, but not perfect
    For context - I travel mostly for work, and have a m good amount of cords and tech that go with me.Pros: the bag is super comfortable, even when loaded up. Walking through the airport, it makes it a breeze.The amount of stuff I can put into the bag is impressive. I care a laptop, iPad, a lot of cords, a hard headphone case, and a variety of other things I need. I can fit it all, plus I was able to fit a change of clothes.The garment/shoe pocket is nice to keep things separate and away from my gear, or from spilling out.The expandable area really adds a lot of capacity- however, when stuff, I had a little trouble getting it under the airline seat.The kick stand works great most of the time, unless your load is wonky, or not enough is in. Helpful though, but occasionally falls over.Overall this bag is great but… a few things I would like to change or could be better.I miss a side pocket for a bottle or to stash something quickly. It fits on the the open pocket in the front (the side away from your back).Pockets for stuff. There are a few small pockets, but not enough. There are two spots for pens. 3,we’ll call medium pockets, for a battery pack, business cards, and other items. It could use a little more organization. I have a grid it which helps with cords but that doesn’t solve everything.The waste strap, which is removable, is pretty small. I’m not big by any means, nor am I small, and I can just connect it with a little room to winch- and then it’s not comportable, just the strap.If you’re looking for a bag that can hold a good amount, is comfortable, and don’t need a lot of specific organization, this is a great bag.

    Me encantó! Llegó en el lapso de tiempo marcado en la venta. El vendedor me apoyo con unas dudas con la empresa que se encargó del envío. Y una mochila impecable, no solo en que llegó en perfecto estado sino también en confort y practicidad. Solo el precio es algo elevado pero considerando que es difícil de encontrar en mi país no me quejo mucho. Es más, tal vez me anime a adquirir otra en poco tiempo. 😍 Es toda una Osprey!!! Y la espalda lo agradecerá.
