Not just a scaled-down adult pack, the Ace 48 pack from Osprey was designed to fit children's dimensions and proportions—and it grows with them!

  • Fits a variety of backs, thanks to its generous torso-length adjustment: just rip it, adjust it and stick it
  • Pack is sized to fit kids from approximately 12 to 16 years old
  • To ensure a healthy and comfortable carry, loaded pack should not be more than 15 to 20 percent of child's body weight
  • AirScape backpanel features three sections of ridged foam and a central air chimney for increased ventilation
  • Running down the sidewall, peripheral rods anchor to load-lifter straps and hipbelt, actively transferring load and resisting sag
  • Top-loading design gives you easy access to the pack's contents; two zippered pockets in removable/extendable lid let you stash maps and small items
  • Retractable sleeping bag compartment has straps to pull it in from the inside allowing the negative space on the outside for a sleeping bag or pad
  • ErgoPull hipbelt closure provides extra cinching leverage—drawing tension along top and bottom, not through the center—relieving hipbone pressure
  • Zippered pockets on hipbelt let you stash small essentials such as a digital camera, snacks, lipbalm and sunblock
  • Front stretch pocket is ideal for stowing jacket, hat and other often-used essentials
  • Large stretch-woven side pockets hold your water bottles and organize other small gear items
  • Hydration-compatible design features reservoir sleeve and a drink tube exit port for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately)
  • Bottom of pack features a small zippered compartment to hold built-in raincover, which is tethered for security
  • Backpacker April ’09 declares that the Osprey Ace 48 “represents a sea change in comfort, features and durability among youth backpacks.”

Imported.

    Comments about Osprey Ace 48 Pack - Youth:

    My daughter has been using this for a year now (spanning ages 11.5-12.5) and loves it. She carries her own tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, clothes, etc... 20-25 pounds.

    She carries that weight just fine with zero complaints on multiday backpacking trips including a week in Rocky Mountain National Park.
