If you get caught in the rain, there is a detachable raincover integrated into the bag so all your stuff stays dry even if you don't. Spacer mesh is placed over die-cut foam on the shoulder straps to provide more breathable, comfortable contact points, padded nicely to stop them from digging in.

A range of storage space, including two PowerMesh™ side pockets and a scratch-free zippered pocket, means you can organise all your gear in one place. This backpack is also hydration-compatible and has an internal reservoir sleeve with an Osprey Hydraclip and a hose port that runs through the backpanel.

I also thought that the suspended mesh backpanel worked really well, stopping my back from getting too hot. Little did he know, he would eventually stitch together the legacy of meticulous craftmanship for which Osprey is widely renowned.Recycled fabrics can be anything from recycled polyester to recycled cotton and where recycled cotton is used, it's often offcuts from factory floors that would otherwise end up in landfill. I’ve been testing this pack over the last few months on lower level and shorter walks where full winter gear hasn’t been necessary. Its made of the same material as the other Osprey rain covers so should turn a few showers, but don’t rely on it to protect critical electronics, dry bags are best for that. Constructed with an AirSpeed tensioned mesh back panel, air can flow between the pack and your body for comfort on warmer days.
