Osprey Aura 50 (2012)

£120.00

At first glance the Osprey Aura 50 appears to be crammed with clips, straps and attachment loops – and it is!

This is useful in theory when ...

Osprey Hornet 32 2010

£85.00

The Osprey Hornet 32 is a new rucksack that challenges the lightweight and mountain marathon sector. A durable, lightweight (600g) pack benefiting from Osprey’s trademark carry comfort, it can be further stripped down to save more weight.  But it is significantly more expensive than the OMM Classic 32, which is why that pack was one of this test’s finalists. Stockists ...

Osprey Stratos 24 rucksack

£75.00

A modern-looking, lightweight pack, the Stratos pushed the best rucksacks hard. The main compartment is accessed via a long zip that offers easy access, but at 22L, it’s one of the smaller packs in this category.

Osprey Manta 30 2010

£100.00

The Osprey Manta 30 was the best thing to emerge from the 2009 outdoor kit convention at Friedrichshafen in Germany, according to the Guildford gear shop owner I bump into there every year. He knows a thing or two about kit, so I turned up at the Osprey stand the following day, eager to get my first look at the ...

Osprey Aether 70 / Ariel 65

£130.00

This backpacking rucksack can be used for a wide variety of loads and still maintain great performance. At 2070g it’s lighter than most. I liked the unique compression system that allows the front to be compressed, making the sack very stable even when only half full. I also liked the stretch pockets and stretch wand pockets. Side compression straps with ...

Osprey Aether 70/Ariel 65

£130.00

Firstly, check the weight. At 2070g it’s very light for a 70 litre ‘sack. But of further interest is the unique compression ...
