A silnylon 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. Carry up to 40 pounds comfortably in the Exos 58, and notice how the frame, compression straps, and ergonomic hip-belt ensure your load rests where it should for max efficiency and minimal body aching. The breathable foam back panel lets you work hard on the trail without getting a soggy back, and low-profile pockets and sleeping bag straps enable you to organize your gear.
Hi, can the hip belt be easily folded up (prefer stay attached, not removed)? My next trip involves a lot of plane flights. Just wonder if I can fold the hip belt up and press in tight to fit into the overhead of a small size commuter plane? Aka, is the hip belt "soft" or "hard"?
I got this pack after using the Atmos 65 last year. I loved the Atmos, but I love this pack even more. I was looking for a lighter weight pack, and one that was a bit smaller, this thing is great! I took it on a 3 day Mt Whitney winter trip. I fit my 0 degree bag, warm clothes, 4 season tent, 2 pads, harness, helmet, shovel, stove, fuel, picket, ice axe, and a bunch more stuff and there was plenty of room. It weighed in at 42 lbs and I had no problem whatsoever. Yes the buckles and straps are small, but i dont see a big difference between them and the Atmos straps. If your thinking about this pack, go for it!
Does this pack have the same back-panel as other Osprey? I.e., there is a mesh panel, then a wide-open air chamber, and THEN the actual pack? It's kind of hard for me to tell from the description.
An example of what I mean can be found on the Osprey Aura 35. Thanks.
The Exos pack does indeed have a suspended mesh back panel. It is similar to the back panel of the Atmos pack, yet streamlined to save weight. The hip belt and shoulder straps are mesh covered, honeycomb foam panels.
