Description

A solid, quality backpack for weeklong trips or weekend excursions.

After a long six hour hike into the backcountry you finally arrive to your campsite overlooking a pristine mountain lake and place the Osprey Volt 60 Backpack on the ground. Surprisingly, your back and shoulders feel good, thanks to the Volt's LightWire peripheral frame that transfers load weight away from your shoulders and to the hip-belt, and the Fit-on-the-Fly hip-belt itself that provides a custom fit and support. This lightweight, thoughtfully-designed pack features all of the backpacking essentials without putting a major dent in your wallet.

  • Fit-on-the-Fly hip-belt extends up to 3in (7.5cm) on each size to provide a custom fit while accommodating different hip sizes
  • LightWire peripheral frame effectively transfers load weight to the hip-belt
  • Spacer mesh covered lumbar and back panel pads offer cushioning and ventilation
  • Torso length is precisely and easily adjustable over a 5in (13cm) range to provide an exact fit
  • Viva 60 comfortably carries a maximum weight of 50 pounds for weekend backpacking trips
  • Large top opening lets you effectively pack your gear while a floating top pocket can extend to handle overloads
  • Wide-mouth compartment with divider stashes your sleeping bag and supplies easy access to it when you set up camp
  • Strong, durable fabric offers you a solid pack for years to come
  • External hydration sleeve in back panel simplifies refilling and protects pack from spills
  • Large stretch mesh front pocket for quickly stashing extra gear, dual-access mesh side pockets for your water bottle or flask, and zippered hip-belt pockets provide secure storage for your camera or energy goo
  • Dual-side compression straps, removable sleeping pad straps, and two ice axe loops for convenience
  • Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole attachment allows you to tuck away trekking poles quickly without having to remove your pack

How do these carry when compared to the Aether series? This pack doesn't have a T6-main stay. How much difference will that make?

I would guess that the lack of center stay will reduce the max weight for comfortable carry. I carried about 48 lb in my Volt 75 and it wasn't too bad. You do need to be careful to pack the heavy items close to your back; this pack is less tolerant of weight that's far back in the packbag than are packs with sturdier suspensions.

Confession: the pack never made it out the door. Just loaded it up, walked it around a bit in the house, and discovered the fatal flaw.

I actually like the design. The packbag cut is carefully designed to keep the load close to the back. The adjustment system is clever and seems to work. I can't tell yet whether the velcro will hold against a 40 lb load, but I'm betting it will. The "wire" frame looks flimsy, but my wife has the Viva 50 and says it floats 35 lb just fine. There's a large mesh pocket on the back and a pocket on each side. Very usable and very nice. Straps are well-cut, nicely padded, and the hipbelt has a pocket each side. Nice for snacks, compass, camera, etc.There's also a clever system for temp stowing of trekking poles. I used similar system on my Talon 33, and can be quite useful for stretches where you need your hands but don't want to fully stow the poles. Overall, nicely done.

Little annoyances. I don't think a pack this size needs a sleeping bag compartment or opening. Osprey might argue the shelf adds structural support inside the packbag - a fair point. but the opening is too small for me to load my 20 deg down bag, so seems too small to me. Top lid floats for overloading (good) but doesn't detach from the pack (bad). And there are too many (my opinion) strap snubbers and other widgets on the pack, but that's just me. Fact is the pack is pretty light for its volume (< 4 lb), and if you're annoyed by the features there's always the razor blade and butane lighter approach...

OK, the fatal flaw: I thought it was the hipbelt length - too short for my hips. However, the Osprey guys have come up with a clever way to adjust the length of the hipbelt pads, so no worries. No, the fatal flaw is that the pack is just too small for my planned loads. If it fits you and your loads the Volt 60 is a very nice pack. I'm trying the Volt 75 next...
