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! There is an impressive six external pockets and Osprey’s patented Stow on the Go trekking pole attachment system, which allows you to keep your poles slotted to your left side for easy access. This is useful in theory when ...

Osprey Atmos 35 (2011)

£100.00

A cracking pack from Osprey with a technical feel to it and a lot of different fabrics used throughout. The main compartment is huge and access to it is good – through a zip opening with some pleasingly large zip-pulls. The zip entry may not be for everyone as there is a slight increase in the chance of getting water ...

Osprey Aura 35 (2011)

£100.00

One of the most comfortable women’s daypacks around, with a soft mesh hip belt and nicely rounded shoulder straps. The lightweight frame provides excellent load-carrying support, and the suspended mesh back system stops you getting sweaty. Inside, this pack is cavernous, with plenty of space for everything you’ll need on a long winter walk. The main compartment has a wide, ...

Osprey Atmos 50 2011

£120.00

Osprey has rapidly developed itself as a brand that provides excellent, comfortable and well-designed rucksacks, and the Atmos 50 is a good example of this. Many Osprey sacks feature the Airspeed breathable back panel, which holds the sack away from the body for great airflow. You also get perforated padding on the shoulder straps and hipbelt to make the sack ...

Osprey Sirrus 24

£70.00

The Sirrus is a great-looking pack with load-carrying comfort that’s hard to beat. The main compartment feels really large for a pack of this size, and is accessed via a long zip that makes it really easy to rummage around inside it. The harness is wonderfully secure, with padded mesh straps that always feel cool and comfortable, and an incredibly ...

Osprey Hornet 32 2011

£85.00

The Osprey Hornet is a super-lightweight pack designed for adventure racing and moving fast and light in the mountains. It’s 36 per cent lighter than its cousin, the Talon 33, yet it has plenty of pockets and can be compressed down. Design The Osprey Hornet 32 is light, the medium/large back length weighing a meagre 586g on our scales. You ...

Osprey Stratos 36

£85.00

An incredibly well-thought-out pack, with pretty much all the features that you could ever need. Mesh back system is breezy without being so curved that it restricts capacity, or being too rigid to restrict movement. The shoulder padding is particularly pleasant, with enough padding without adding too much bulk, and the hip pads grip and support perfectly. The 36-litre capacity ...

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. The harness is wonderfully comfortable with mesh straps that always felt cool and supportive and an effective concave back system that enabled a good ...

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 ...

The foam hip belt and mesh back system are so comfortable this pack feels like its giving you a hug. The shoulder straps are close-set and the padded hip belt is very flexible, allowing you to get the weight just where you want it. Back system allows an excellent flow of air.

Osprey Aura 35 2009

The Osprey Aura 35 rucksack is robust; medium back; no lid (zip top opener); top and inside mesh pockets; 2 large stretch side and 1 front stash pockets, 2 pole or ice axe loops, padded snack pocketed hipbelt; complex back vent. But it’s quite heavy at 1318g; tested as oversized by 5 litres at 40 litres; high price; top opening ...

OSPREY AURA 35

£90.00

Review: The Aura’s BioStretch harness is one of the most comfortable and stable we’ve tested, with a lovely soft mesh hip belt and shoulder straps which kept even heavy loads stable and comfortable. Disappointingly, the tall, slim shape meant it restricted head movement, unlike the more compact design of others. However, with a bit of careful tweaking this wasn’t too ...

OSPREY STRATOS 32

£80.00

Review: The AirCore concave back system is stable and incredibly cool, and we loved the luxuriously padded harness, particularly the very contoured shoulder straps. We couldn’t fault the Stratos on the hill and its generous main compartment meant it never seemed full. We also love the single buckle closure and side-access zip.

Osprey Kestrel 28

£60.00

The Osprey Kestrel 28 unisex rucksack has an adjustable back length and a cool but stable back system; it’s hard to fault its comfort or fit. The Osprey Kestrel 28 shoulder straps are seriously contoured and well padded. Superbly featured, too. It has an excellent quick storage facility for walking poles – there's a holster on one shoulder strap that ...

Osprey Kestrel 38

£75.00

Osprey regularly comes up with fresh ideas, so it is perhaps of no surprise to find some unique features on this 30-40 litre rucksack. Most interestingly of all is the Stow on the Go trekking poles holder system that allows poles to be attached to the shoulder strap and body of the sack in seconds, say when you need to ...
