      Comments about Osprey Exposure 50 Pack:

      I recently got this pack and I'm very impressed with the value for the price I paid. [$] is a steal. It is designed for climbing, but I use it predominantly for weekend hiking trips - I MUCH PREFER THIS TYPE OF PACK TO OTHER MORE "COMFORTABLE, YET BULKY" PACKS. Points of interest: 1. The pack only has one large compartment, but the drawstring-top allows you to open it wide and easily access your stuff, even when its packed pretty far down. I'm the kind of person who will forget which pocket I put something in, so this works well for me. 2. The pack has an extremely light and streamlined fit. It is designed for keeping the pack tight to your body, specifically for climbing. I like it when I'm hiking because it keeps the center of gravity close to your body; this allows me to move very quickly through difficult terrain. 3. Like everything else, the padding is climbing oriented - you aren't going to have the thick pillow pads of other packs. However, I prefer this - the hip straps are thin but comfortable foam. This adds to your ability the keep the weight on your hips while preventing the pack from swinging against your shoulders when you pick up the pace. ...Lastly, I recommend getting the large - 50L is a bit small for a weekend hiking pack, but if you get the large version, the added volume pushes this pack into a multi-day capable bag. Also, this pack doesn't have a lot of dangling cords for hanging stuff within arm's reach. Use a bladder because you won't be able to reach your water bottle, even though there is a side pouch big enough for one. With that said, there are a ridiculous number of straps from which you can attach rope, mats, skis, a gun, axes, knives, or anything else you might want to reach without opening up your pack. Hope this was helpful.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Osprey Exposure 50 Pack:

          This pack is the best thign to ever happen for ascents. The top loading compartment makes it super simple, just stuff the junk in there and pull the drawcord. I love how I am able to strap crampons, ice axe and shovel easily to the outside. I have done 3 night trips with this pack in the winter all over Colorado. My only suggestion is that if you are lacking in lightweight/compressible gear, you better get the 66 Liter for the extra volume.
