this pack can actually hold touring skis when going up terrain I would rather snow shoe to the top. lots of compartments, very nice, love the mesh back to keep the pack off your back, no sweaty backs

How does an Osprey pack like this compare...

How does an Osprey pack like this compare to let's say a Cambelbak Alpine Explorer pack? I have a couple camelbak and have been happy with them but have heard good things about Osprey packs. Just looking for a good day hike pack.

I have carried the woman's version (Sirrus) and a larger women's Camelbak and while Camelbak has done wonderful things on how we carry water, they aren't a backpack company. I was blown away with how well the Osprey pack carried. For carrying the amount of gear you would for a longer day hike, the Stratos will distribute weight better. The biggest difference will be in the frame, the hipbelt, and the harness. The frame and backpanel allows great ventilation and support and the hipbelt/harness are designed to work with the frame to displace the weight comfortably down through your hips instead of resting it on your back/shoulders. Plus, the hipbelt feels like it is hugging you, so the pack sits very stably--it doesn't bounce around as you're walking...

I think you'll be happier with this bag purely on how it carries... Hope this helps.

Is this a top or front load pack?

This is a pretty small pack for an overnighter, but it depends on how small your sleeping bag, stove, and shelter are. If you are an ultralighter, then this pack may work.

The sweet spot for weight maxes out at 30lbs. However this should still carry decently at 35lbs.

After doing three hikes so far, I can say this pack is Awesome. Put everything in it that was in old pack, and because of the Airspeed back panel and waist belt, felt like it was empty. Even after putting in 70oz hydration back, still was nice. So far only down side is mesh side pockets hard to get at, use them for water bottles for dog.

Awesome pack

This pack is awesome! Very comfortable and I love the ventilation on the back with the AirSpeed suspension. We hike a lot in hot weather in southern Arizona, and this is the best daypack we have found.

This is a great pack. I use it for long day hikes, particularly when extra gear is needed. The under-arm trekking pole stash is handy. You can also stuff them vertically on the side when you won't need them for a while. It is a very stable pack when scrambling up the rock, I forget it's on most of the time. It can be a bit of a challenge to pack as it is tall and slim to make room for the air frame by your back. But as someone who sweats a lot, this is a great feature.

The ice ax clip is nice so you don't have to worry about velcro straps.

If you pack light, you should even be able to use this for a quick overnight in the summer. I haven't tried, but it feels like it'd be pretty reasonable.

love my new pack, used it to hike the peaks of San Jacinto & MT Baldy and it was very comfy and very easy to access all areas of the pack. I"m 6'3" soit was a little difficult to find a pack that would fit my build, this one is perfect. great price too

perfect pack for me

Generally a great design, but quite annoying that a full size camelback bladder does not fit. The pocket is too tight to accept a full bladder.

Great day pack - I've been a fan of Osprey since using my Kestrel for several years now - great design, light weight, loaded with pockets, easy to pack and access - and I love the whistle! Keep it up osprey - you cannot go wrong this pack.

approaching my senior of college, my old pack gave out. Since it doubled as a school pack i decided to get on i could use for school. i did however decide to to get an outdoor pack i could use in school for a year not a school pack i could struggle with for a whole lot longer than the year left of my school. it has blown my mind all around. the airspeed suspension system is comfortable and cool. i have taken it in on a few day hikes and road trips. it packs very well, the mesh pockets on the side seem to be tight on my water bottles and extra shoes when i got it but has loosened up after time so that it is perfect now. this pack has made me only want to buy osprey (yes i know there are many good packs out there and still shop around and look at everything first but im just making a point here)

buy it for real.

I am looking for a pack that can do short day hikes but can carry most of my stuff through the airport. Would this be the proper pack

The size is perfect in my opinion. I always carried The North Face Hot Shot pack (2015cu), which was the perfect size for day hikes and traveling through airports.

If you are like me though, I don't like having the full waist-belt for my day pack. It's just too bulky, and I never use a belt unless I'm on the trail. I prefer the simple tuck-away waist belt.

But if you look at the 2nd user picture of the 34, it looks like they lay pretty flat if you want to tuck them behind your back when not in use. Just something to keep in mind.

Hey there - I am not sure what kind of stuff you are carrying through the airport, but I am thinking for general carry on stuff, this is great. awesome for day hikes!

We are a family of 4; all outdoor enthusiasts. We have owned many, many backpacks of different brands and it has been enlightening to see the technology and design changes over the years. This particular pack is perfect for me because it has both water bottle and hydration options. I am tall and need an extra long pack. The fact that Osprey comes in 3 sizes is a great help. The design of the hip belt that allows you to cinch it up tight is the best in the industry. I also like the fact that there is plenty of air circulation between the pack and my back.
