Great even with less "comfort"!
Scout121 year ago
I've used this pack for 4 trips (up to 10 miles each day) this summer and really like it. I wanted to go more lighweight (pad, bag, pack) but wasn't sure about losing comfort. But it fits me well and feels better than my older Osprey. I've kept it to under 25 lbs and it feels great. I'm 5'7", 34A.

Not a good pack if you have bony hips
Hiker1011 year ago
I got this pack to replace my Osprey Renn. Unfortunately, the Eja is is just as uncomfortable as the Renn. I had hope because I got the correct size for me and this pack is under 3 pounds - I thought it would be a better fit and be more comfortable. I have very bony hips (front and back) and this pack had little padding. To make this pack work for me I ended up wrapping a folded fleece blanket around my hips to cushion the impact.
I am 5' 7" and fluctuate between 105 - 116 pounds.

I love this bag!!
1 year ago
My partner got this bag for me awhile ago. It was my first hiking bag, and it’s so comfortable! It fits to my back and hips very well! (I’m 5 ft 2 and have wide hips if that helps!) I have no problem fitting what I need in there and if I can’t there’s plenty of places to stuff, attach, lock, and tie to! It’s been overnighting with me and just out for a day hike with my hammock gear! It fits a 2.5 liter bladder perfectly! The only thing is if you pack it unbalanced, it’ll be like trying to wrangle a toddler lol. But it was a perfect bag for me!!

Terrible design, painful and unusable
1 year ago
My experience mirrors that of the other reviewer. Your scapula will be a-hurting if you choose this pack, so don't choose this pack. It is weirdly badly designed, not like Osprey to make a sucky pack. Absolutely no way to improve the comfort of this pack in the field, because the hard plastic design is what it is--hard and placed exactly where you don't need hard edgy plastic pieces digging into your scapula. Mine were rubbed red and sore. This design flaw makes the pack unusable, but otherwise, it is very nice. I don't even want to donate it to anyone because will just hurt them, too, and why would I pass along something defective to anyone.

Lightweight and comfortable!

I love this pack. I’ve used it for short backpacking trips and on the Camino de Santiago. It’s super comfy with a good frame and distributes the weight well.

Perfect
4 months ago
I chose the Eja based on reviews and have used it once for a 3 day hike covering about 45 miles. I was very happy with my choice. It was easy to adjust to the perfect fit, didn't need readjustment and was comfortable and easy to wear. It has great features and I am looking forward to many happy years of hiking with it. The fabric is lightweight and suffered minor damage on the side pocket from rocks that may not have happened with a heavier fabric but I wanted something light and there has to be a trade off. The size is perfect as I had kit for a 5 day trip in the cold with plenty of space to add camping gear if needed.

Love the pack - not the color
1 month ago
I love this pack. . . . more or less. It's truly the first pack that is comfortable and doesn't leave me sore after a 15 mile day. I've taken this thing on multiple multi day trips and can comfortably carry about 25 lbs and hold all of my gear. A couple of drawbacks however. The side compression straps are a joke. They are so skinny and hard to cinch down. They also make it impossible to get your water bottle in and out. Second, the colors are horrendous. I don't know what's up with the crusty purple color they are going with these days but it's awful. I ended up with the green, but it's like every other green pack out there. I wish Osprey would come up with some fun "girl" colors in the blue or red category.

Major flaws with redesign
2 years ago
I used the exos on thruhike and was eager to try the eja for a womens specific fit. The shoulder straps and belt fit where a big improvement for me, but there are two flaws that keep me from using this pack. The biggest flaw is the plastic pieces sitting on your scapula. I had abrasions my first time using the pack. The second flaw is the compression straps on the outside of the water bottle compartments. You cannot compress your pack AND get out your bottle while hiking. I'll keep this to loan out since it is adjustable, but already bought another pack for personal use.

Great Backpack and top quality
1 month ago
The Osprey Eja backpack is a great product. We bought this backpack for our 12 year old daughter. As it can be adjusted easily, it fits her well. It is light and has a lot of useful features. The quality is top as you would expect from Osprey. I can recommend this backpack.
