Multiple hydration options and AirCore suspension keep you cool during intense backcountry outings.
A technical daypack for light and fast backcountry adventure the Osprey Stratos daypack is perfect for day hiking an afternoon at the crags even bike commuting. The sophisticated AirCore suspension system allows for full air circulation without sacrificing a stable form-fitting carry. Briefly the AirCore backpanel consists of two fiberglass struts with a center stabilization disc anchored into top and bottom ABS wings. Over the top of this lightweight hardware a tensioned mesh backpanel provides the breathable pack to body contact. The Osprey Stratos backpack offers numerous organization pockets including handy hipbelt pockets for small necessities side stretch woven pockets designed for quick access to water bottles and a large zippered front pocket in addition to the front panel access to the main compartment. Dubbed the StraightJacket compression system the Osprey Stratos backpack features arching flaps on either side of the front pocket connected via the two compression straps to wrap the load securely so it doesn't shift. For smaller packs with the AirCore suspension be sure to check out the Osprey Stratos 18 and Osprey Stratos 12.

Great Day/Overnight Pack Image: 5 Stars

Great pack that's the perfect size for long day hikes and even an overnighter if you pack light. I've hiked with as much as 18 pounds in complete comfort. I went with the large for my 5'11" 200+ lb. frame. I have a 45-inch chest with a fairly short torso. The medium was a better fit to my back but the shoulder straps pinched thus I went up to a large and this is what I'd recommend if you're big and/or muscular up top. The pack is very comfortable and expands to accommodate much more than at first appearance. The curved back makes for a somewhat strange compartment shape (so it won't take large flat items like laptops very well) but having all that ventilation is TOTALLY worth it. I like that fact that you can stash dual hydration packs for hot-weather hikes as well. The hip belt pockets are big enough for small tools a cell phone or a very compact camera and maybe an eTrex-sized GPS or a snack bar or two but nothing bulky. The side pockets look shallow but hold a 1-liter plastic bottle with no problems. I love the overall attention to detail in this pack such as the looped zipper pulls and routing for a hydration hose on the shoulder strap. It's extremely well-made and feels like a substantial quality piece of equipment. I love it.

We really like the mesh to keep our backs dry. We do all sorts of summer hikes as well as cross country skiing trips in the winter. The style and quality are great!

Good pack with some adjustments Image: 4 Stars

I took this pack on a day hike. It held up well but the curved aircore backpanel does take some getting use to. You must be able to pack items in a certain way for it to work. Overall an excellent pack. Another reason why I prefer Osprey packs.

I picked this up because I needed something lighter than my Aether 60 after knee surgery for day hikes. Very well built and fits me much better than the Stratos 35 pack which ran a little small in the strap adjustment area. Highly recommended!
