STRATOS 24 PACK

The Stratos 24 Pack by Osprey is ready to take on whatever you throw at it— whether it's hiking in the back country, zipping along a mountain bike trail, or climbing the crags! The Airspeed Suspension system combines a lightweight alloy frame that optimizes your load's balance and a breathable mesh back panel that provides full ventilation, so you'll hardly break a sweat. The contoured shoulder straps and hipbelt have mesh-covered, die-cut foam for added comfort. Not only is there a spacious zippered front pocket for stashing a jacket or other bulky items, there's also a variety of other easy-access pockets for stowing essentials like your wallet, keys, phone, snacks, and water bottle. You can store all the gear you'll need for a full day of adventuring in this versatile backpack.

Why we love it: 

"The Osprey Stratos 24 is the best pack I've ever laid eyes on. Super light, durable, comfortable, spacious and well designed; I use mine not only for camping and hiking but as a travel and day bag as well! I love the no-jingle zipper pulls and the two-way adjustable sternum strap. The waist-belt pockets are perfect for quick access items like flashlight, multi-tool, map and snacks. This pack is hydration ready with an inside mesh bladder section while either shoulder strap can accommodate tube and bite-valve. It's also great to stow my trekking pole in the tool loops without taking the pack off so I can scrabble hands-free over rocks. The sleeping pad straps turn this pack into a serious ultra-light weekender!"
