Description

More than a sack with straps.

A sil-nylon sack with shoulder straps and a hip-belt might be feathery light, but without suspension, it can feel as comfortable on your shoulders as a bag of rocks when it's full. Instead, load the Osprey Exos 58 Backpack, which has a lightweight aluminum frame, for your next ultralight backpacking adventure.
  • Modified AirSpeed suspension combines the rigidity of aluminum stays with a tensioned mesh back panel for effective load transfer and cross ventilation
  • Ergonomic BioStretch hip-belt and shoulder straps ensure your load rests where it should for max efficiency
  • Removable floating lid lets you ditch extra weight for summit bids and fast-packing
  • Unique over-skirt compression strap extends from the front stretch pocket to carry bulky gear
  • Hydration sleeve holds your reservoir (sold separately) and H20 icons help route your tube
  • Stow-on-the-go trekking pole attachment lets you stash them without removing the pack

This pack is a great light weight pack that offers plenty of room. I love the exposed pocket in the back, as I place my footprint and rainfly in it to keep water and dirt from getting on the inside of the pack. The two separate large pockets on the back are great for holding my collapsible Nalgene water bottles. I have also placed rain gear in them, which makes for great accessibility when inclement weather is a possibility. The pack is extremely comfortable and molds around your back. I have found that by placing my Camelbak in the airflow backrest for added lumbar support, which molds to the contour of your body. I highly recommend this pack, and the warranty which Osprey gives is among the best in the industry.

I am 6'8" would this pack work for me?

Here is the fit guide on Osprey's website:

http://www.ospreypacks.com/en/web/sizing_and_fitting

Packs are not sized based on height but on torso length. 2 6'8" guys will have 2 different torso lengths. Size that up and see if it falls into the L Exos size range.

I wanted to like the pack but I have a few complaints which probably do not reflect on the quality of the pack and instead my needs. I would regularly find myself filling the pack entirely on trips and the loads seemed to focus their burden on smaller surfaces probably due to the smaller, lighter materials and straps used to keep the pack weight down. Also when the packs fully loaded I would find the sewn seams pulling away form each other which started to happen after relatively few uses. The number of pockets and their location is amazing, there is a spot for everything. I ended up returning and purchasing the Atmos 65 which will hopefully address the comfort with larger loads and durability issue. Love Osprey!

Now Osprey is a tried and true, trusted brand and I got a lot of respect for their products. I truly admire how they were able to jam in so many convenience features while keeping the weight at a minimum. One feature I'm quite enamored with is stow-on-the-go trekking pole attachment that works quite well. Its lid and small compartments in addition to its main packbag are all great conveniences that I appreciate. The issue for me ended up being its suspension, which to me is the most important factor in procuring a backpack. The mesh back panel of its modified airspeed suspension is very comfortable and it should conform to all types of body types; however, in an effort to facilitate ventilation, the main body is separated a bit from that same back panel, pulling the bulk of the weight away from your back. I felt a quite a bit of weight swing as I rotated about my hips. I like the weight to stay as close to my body as possible, and the bag was not doing it for me. For reference, I'm 5'11" (21.5" torso, a bit long for my overall height), 170 to 175 lbs, and 31" waist. However, it doesn't mean this bag won't be a gem for you.

Sounds like it wasn't properly fitted .. I've had no such issues with bearing weight or pull, owned for 4 years ... and will be using it on a thru hike after 500 miles in sections .. packing correctly would help that issue too "not saying you didn't" ... all compression straps tightened, and shoulder straps and hip belt secured ... wrong size pack? All i'm saying is the ventilation system is not reason for the pack feeling insecure.

Yung Lee

Thanks for your opinion! As I'd said, just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't be a gem for you. As for the fitting, I can assure you it was done to the best of my abilities, and most importantly, consistently as when I tested a handful of other ultralight packs when I was in the market for a new pack this past spring. Every one's has his/her unique body type and sensitivity on how things feel to such unique bodies. As I tell everyone who come on advise for various equipment, the best advice is to always try it out.

This is a fantastic bag, albeit slightly fragile and unsuited for off-trail scrambling (the mesh backing will be the first to go). If you want a bag with lots of options that won't force you to make your kit completely ultralight this is a great start. Osprey has tons of bells and whistles on the bag and the inside out compression system is top notch.

The floating pocket can easily be removed to slash 4-5oz off the base pack weight (which is nice) and I've yet to need to reattach it as this bag is much bigger than its specifications suggest. I wear a large pack and a spec of 61L definitely undersells the bag. The silver color on the bag is also a big plus as it makes it tremendously easy to differentiate between items.

I wouldn't use this bag in winter as the rip-stop nylon simply soaks up water from the snow but if your mission is 3 season trail hiking/climbing and you want to shed a little weight from your back without surrendering full comfort, definitely go for it. If you're really looking to go lightweight, attack your kit first and then get THE BAG to fit it.

Hey guys, I'm interesting picking up the Exos 58 and I am curious as to what size I should get. I'm a short guy, 5'4 and my waist is 30 inches. I know some would say go to the store, get fitted but I live in a small college town and there isn't a good location to do this. I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions as to which would be suitable. Small or Medium. Thanks everyone.

Thomas Ogasawara

Small would be my best guess. I'm 5'10" and I wear a small in Osprey, just be sure to measure your back (there are directions at the bottom of the sizing chart).

Hey there, The size you need has nothing to do with your height and everything to do with your torso length. Its a simple measurement. Go to this link on the Osprey site to figure it out: http://www.ospreypacks.com/en/web/sizing_and_fitting

Size is not directly correlative with height. Instead, you need to measure your torso length. Please find the instructions to measure that here:

http://www.ospreypacks.com/en/web/sizing_and_fitting

My guess is that you'll fall into the Medium range, but you might have a short or a long torso for your size so definitely measure!

I second Kate on that. Measure yourself, or go to a store and have yourself measured with one of their "pack fitters" once you know your size you can order here.

First off, this pack is epically lightweight considering all of the features it is stocked with. It is a little bit flimsy, after a years worth of use I have broken a compression strap and worn through the fabric around the frame in one spot. That said, it is still pretty durable considering the weight.

I have had it in light rain for 2 hours before the inside started to soak (it was a little wet though)

This pack is more suited to general backpacking than specialized applications because it fits very wide. I can fit my kelty lightyear 0 degree down sleeping bag horizontally in the bottom of the pack.

It is fully loaded with every feature under the sun: gear loop, ice tool loops, hip pockets, shoulder pockets, multiple top pockets, compression options, etc. Not only that, but it swallows EVERYTHING. I take it on multi day trips in CO winter and it works great with my fast and light style.

Overall, VERY COMFORTABLE and very practical: its my go-to pack for multi-day adventure.

Ultralight but still with bells and whistles (literally)

Is the hip belt sizing the same on all of the sizes? If so, is the smallest circumference the hip belt will go the 32" mentioned in reviews below?

Ryan Hamilton

I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure that the hip belts are sized along with the pack sizes. So a small would most likely get smaller than 32". Osprey is a big time pack maker and know what they're doing.

You should be good with the small for a 32".

I bought this backpack and also the smaller version, Exos 46 to compare. They are both good although I feel the bigger load possible in the 58 puts too much strain on the thin harness and hipbelt, also pulls it more back (more pressure on your shoulders).
My only complaint with both - and a big one: the frame squeaks! The stretch material attached to the frame squeaks when it moves - which it does with every step, at least for me. Is it really just me? Some specific posture and way of walking? I am quite surprised that after searching the web I haven't found any single reference to this. And it's really annoying after a while, I can tell you (unles you hike constantly past rushing waters and waterfalls, that is:-))
Anybody having this problem? Possible remedy (waxing the frame, etc.)? I don't want to have to return those otherwise great packs. Jiri, male 6'3'', 34'', both L size packs.

Just got back from the Olympic peninsula went with a friend who had this same problem for a while. I noticed that the way he had routed the drink tube from his hydration bladder made it squeak. It was under a small strap instead of over it. That made the difference.

This pack is great! I am relatively new to backpacking and I purchased my Exos 58 (large 61L) for a recent trip to Europe to travel around for several weeks. Fully packed it weighed in about 37-40 lbs. and handled it beautifully. I'm about 6'1 and had no problems with sizing or comfort. My friend actually wanted to carry my pack over her backpack because it carried the weight so well.

I haven't, but a 58L pack fully loaded isn't going to be allowed as a carry on, unless the attendants are blind. I doubt you could even get away with it mostly empty, the dimensions are just too big.

I have taken the Exos 58 as a plane carry-on on several occasions. The key is to remove the floating lid/brane. With this part removed (I take it along as well as my "personal item" stowed under the seat in front of me), and the lower compression straps cinched slightly (reducing the depth by ~1in), the pack fits the 9x14x22 size standard specified by most airlines. I even had someone stop me and make me put the pack in one of those metal boxes that carry-ons have to fit in; it works.

Ok so I measured my sons torso and came up with 17 in. I even ent as far as taking him to an outdoor store to try on a pack tha twas for torso fit 18.5-20. It was slightly big but since he is 12 and still growing the store recommended that he stick with that legth. I was looking at a medium in this would you recommend that?

Phil Maher

Member since 
Responded on

Hi Dawn,

Regardless of size, can he comfortably wear it now? Did he carry a load in it around the store? Was the pack he tried on at least an Osprey, if not an Exos 58? All three considerations are going to be the best way to assess the here and now. As for growth- I have a 13 year old son. Over the course of the last two years, he was in between a youth fit and a small men's size. We ended up settling on a women's Kelty to get him the proper fit. He's simply exploded in height and torso size in just the last six months or so. I just fitted and purchased a new Osprey Aether 70 pack for him that's a men's large, and the fit was suddenly perfect. Scary stuff in terms of my gear and food budget, but again, the point is, as long as your son can wear it now, it never hurts to plan for the inevitable, and with that overlap in torso measurements, the medium would be the way to go IMO. Hope that helps.

** I wanted to add- this pack will definitely last over two years, and Osprey has one of the best warranties in the business to back it, but, if he's going to be looking at week long trips in a couple years, even though 58L is going to be perfect now, it will also be pushing it on the volume he'll need to carry all his gear for trips of that duration. Scouts are about being prepared, not necessarily as being minimalists. Ask some of the older scouts about their gear lists before you absolutely commit.

Dawn, I really agree with Phil here. It might be a tad big right now, but if you went smaller, he will probably be out of that size by next year. Great pack. Go Medium.

I'm not sure whether your scout wears a size small or medium, so make sure you compare this when you find what you are looking for. The size medium for the Exos 58 would work out if he packs light and conservative. The Exos is very lightweight and has the right load range for a 3 day trip (25-40lbs).

Great pack, size is about right for your 3-7 days, for a kid not carrying everything... Osprey packs are sturdy and have a lifetime warranty. The only issue I see is that your boy scouters' torso may not be long enough to fit any of these sizes... check that...

I am a longtime Atmos 65 user and was hesitant to get the Exos, worrying that the bag didn't have enough meat on its bones to last in the backcountry. After using it this weekend, I am moving exclusively to the Exos. While reviewing the Exos here, I will also try to compare it to the Atmos. I try to shave weight where I can, which was on of the reasons I gave the Exos a go.

Weight/sizing: I have a 19in Torso so a medium Osprey pack fits me well. The Med Atmos weighs 3lbs 9 oz, while the Med Exos is 2lbs 9oz, so there's a pound saved right there. I would note that like the Atmos, the should strap suspension (i.e. the torso lenth) is not adjustable, as it is on the Talon series.

Straps/buckles/zippers: much smaller/thinner on the Exos, which is how Osprey was able to save weight. The zipper pulls are smaller, the straps are notably thinner (especially the side compression straps). Having said that, the straps appear to be just as durable as the thicker Atmos straps and I did not have an issue at all. I was shocklingly surprised how comfortable the shoulder straps were, too. While they have a little less padding than the Atmos, there was no sacrifice in comfort. Wait belt looks slighlty different but is very similar to the Atmos (with the exception of a thinner waist strap).

Interior space: The Exos does not have a sleeping bag pocket (another way to save weight), so your bag goes right inside. Basic math says the Exos 58 should be 7 liters smaller than the Atmos 65, but in all honesty unless you are packed to the brim, there is plenty of space in the Exos. Here's what fits inside: Atom 40 degree sleeping bag, Neoair pad, Fly Creek UL2 tent (with the poles, all inside the pack), Snowpeak 1400 cookset (w/ gas and stove nested inside), my "emergency" stuff sack with meds etc, extra fleece, rain gear, 2 days food and a nalgene. With all this, there was still PLENTY of room to spare. I would estimate that I had the pack 70% full. If you were going winter camping and/or needed a bear canister or something, this pack would be fine.

Other features: like other reviews said, it would be nice if the gear straps on the bottom clipped on an off. I tested it and the Fly Creek fits in the allotted space with ease, as most smaller tents would I would think. Water storage is typical to other Osprey packs, as is the stretch pocket on the front. There are 2 front zip pockets which are nice for easy access.

All in all, the Exos is a stripped down version of the Atmos, but I'm glad I switched. The bag is durable, light, of Osprey quality, and while its appearance may be a bit misleading, this bag is tougher than it appears.

I bought this pack because it is very lightweight, but I didn't anticipate a problem with the shoulder straps. They are sewn in to the pack and are NOT ADJUSTABLE! I am 5'11" and typically take medium sized things (such as this pack), but I was NOT able to get the weight off of my shoulders and onto my waist. I am a backpacking guide for my university and know how to fit/adjust backpacks and still had a problem.

That being said, this pack's design (aside from the shoulder strap not being adjustable) is great. The ample ventilation in the back is amazing and the pack is UBER lightweight! It is the 3rd Osprey pack that I have owned. I will be returning it, but will probably replace it with another Osprey.

Hey Bobby, the only thing about the Exos is the lighter harness and hipbelt. So you will want to watch your load weight in this pack. 30-35 pounds max. The Atmos harness and hipbelt is more comfy for sure.
