Osprey Packs Exposure 36 Backpack - 2400cu in - 2007
For ski touring, peak bagging or a day at the crags, carry your gear in the Osprey Exposure 36 Backpack. This minimalist pack is for people who want a well-built low-weight, yet comfortable pack without all the heavy bells and whistles. The single stay and HDPE framesheet in the Exposure 36 will provide plenty of support and still allow you to move freely. It flexes with your body so you won't feel like there is a board strapped to your back while you are trying to climb and ski. From crag to couloir, the Exposure 36 is a great pack for a day in the mountains.
Bottom Line: A lightweight pack for when you really need to move.
I absolutely love this pack. I'm using it mainly for very long day hikes up high. It's not huge and cumbersome but holds plenty of gear. The pocket in the lid will hold a bunch as well. I went up for 6 hours yesterday and pretty much the entire time it was snowing sideways. All my gear inside the pack stayed dry so I was stoked! The tool holster works great. Fits shovels or ice tools perfectly. This pack does not have a moldable belt but fits extremely well. Plenty of adjustments make this thing function and fit great! The only modification/addition I made was I treated it with Nikwax Tent/Gear proof. Now water beads straight off of it. This pack is great for a long day hiker or a light overnighter. Either way it's a killer purchase!
Great backpack for backcountry skiing. Well designed for avalanche gear and packing skis. Also, it has just enough space to do an overnight (if you pack light).
What's up Cowgirl,This pack would be totally fine for that. As long as your bag compresses down really well and you don't need a ton of gear. It holds quite a bit of gear, including a shovel holster on the outside. It's made specifically for a shovel or ice tools and it works great. It's just a tiny bit tight the first few times but no worries after that. You'll love this pack for sure!Hope that helps.
I got this pack (new) for only 89$ CDN. I like the shape : long and close from your back. Makes it very comfortable. It's enough for 2-3 overnight summer hikes if you pack light and can share things such as cookware. If you exceed a bit, you will still be able to attach thing on in many ways. I am concern about the durability of the material use (actually no problem with but feels thin). But this may be the counter part of a light pack. For the price this is a great med pack.
I bought this pack about two years ago and has become my pack that I look to carry anything that needs carrying. I've used it for hauling my climbing gear at the crag, day ascents in the mountains, backcountry skiing, and even a few fast and light weekend trips. This pack can carry it all and is still in great shape.
Looking to purchase a new pack, mostly for backcountry skiing, but allso for any and every other use.. I`ve looked into this one and the "switch 36" which is better for strapping on skis and such??allso Im a pretty tall guy - 190 cm. Which fits better??any viewsThanks.-Joar
If it came down to this or the Switch 36, I'd take the Switch. It's design is more specific to backcountry ski use with separate pockets for avie gear, wet gear, etc. Also the Switch has more dedicated ski and board straps for easier carrying. Since you said that you're taller, also check into the Gregory Targhee. It's a little longer than a Switch and has a great form fitting back panel as well as all the other features crucial to a backcountry ski pack.http://www.backcountry.com/store/GRE0047/Gregory-Targhee-Backpack-1900-2200cu-in.html
This is a great pack. Just the right size for one or two day trips. The fit is great, and I love how narrow it - is making it easy to climb with. The design is very thoughtful, and I've used all the features except the haul loops. It was the only pack I used during a week in the Alps (one night stays in huts).
Osprey's packs seem to be getting better and better lately. Their fit is stupendous around the waist and how it fits securely to my back. Very strong and lightweight backpack. Use it for cragging, rock or ice, ski tours or fast and light alpine ascents. I even use it to carry my school books! I use it all of the time and love it for everything. Not a single thing on it is falling apart after 6 months of good use.
