How do I choose an Osprey backpack?

Osprey is an American brand specializing in outdoor sports baggage. Founded in 1974 in California, the brand strives to offer innovative bags for many sports practices (hiking, climbing, cycling, trail-running, etc.). The brand places particular importance on the back panel of its bags, which is the true engine of the bag. Indeed, the construction of the back panel influences the load the bag can carry and the comfort during your outings.

What type of back to choose at Osprey?

The brand offers 3 types of backs depending on your comfort needs, your practice, and your expectations:

Bags with an AntiGravity panel are very comfortable and are available only for long hikes (capacity over 50L) and baby carriers where comfort takes precedence over weight.

The AirScape and AirSpeed panels are available on many models, regardless of your practice (hiking, cycling, trail, urban travel, etc.). If you are used to using your bag in summer (trekking, long-distance hiking) or in hot climates, the AirSpeed will be your ally as your back will only be in contact with the stretched net.

The All Mighty Guarantee

Osprey bags are designed to last over time thanks to the quality of the materials used in manufacturing and the know-how specific to the American company. This is why the brand offers to replace the buckles and accessories of your bag free of charge and also to repair it if it becomes damaged over time and during your outings.

Which model for which practice?

Osprey offers a wide range of bags for all practices, with most models available in a women's version (adapted to fit the female morphology).
