Bought this as a daypack with a the intent of using it on summer 14er hikes. Has functioned well on three so far. Holds a few layers for a large male and has space for essentials. Fits like a glove to my back as I move. The gear point on the back is awesome. I wish the front pole straps had a cinch at the top to better secure poles. I also feel like the pad straps are pointless as I'll never be able to fit my sleeping back in this with other gear.

Don't Rely on Osprey Guarantee
Buzz3 years ago
I purchased a new Osprey Men's Stratos 36 Pack since my old was had a lot of wear and tear and the belt zippers failed. I knew about Osprey guarantee, but couldn't wait the 8 to 12 weeks to have my old pack repaired. The new Stratos 36 has a couple of nice features one of which is the large pocket in on the back of the main compartment. My old Stratos had two pockets on top that were smaller. The main compartment on the new Stratos was only top loading, so you have to dig through everything to get to the stuff on the bottom. The old one had a large zipper that completely opened the main compartment. A feature I really liked - no digging. No matter how I adjust the new Stratos I find I can't get it to fit as nice as the old. So I sent the old Stratos 36 off to Osprey to get it repaired. I received a couple of messages that they couldn't totally repair it and offers of a new pack. Since I already had a new pack I wasn't happy with, I asked they repair the old one as much as possible and return it. Today it arrive and to my surprise NOTHING was done to it.

Not recomended
11 months ago
My newest small backpack, has failed me, after less then a month. some stitches are open, one of the cord puller fell, to sum it up: poor craftmenship. Beside all that, there are some design flaws that made me write this review: 1. the zippers, aee fine toothed and it is hard to turn the backpack to the front ond open/close them with one hand only, the same goes for both hipbelt pockets... not good! 2.the water bottels pockets, are not big enough, nor designed well. when the pack is full it is very hard to get a nelgene 1.5 liter bottle ib them.. 3. the lower compartment is a bit too small.. atleast for me.. would return it in a heaetbeat!

A Step Backward for a great pack
2 years ago
New version - NOT as good as the predecessor versions. Osprey changed the side pockets, which now have a difficult time accommodating a Nalgene 1 liter bottle. More importantly, they changed the way the frame height and shoulder straps adjust. They discarded the perfectly functional velcro scheme, which was infinitely adjustable (within the overall limit) and substituted a mickey mouse tabular scheme. This reduces the overall height adjustment available (so if you're 5'11" or more, be careful) and changes the feel of the pack on your shoulders. This change, as well as the side pockets, are detrimental to the overall utility and feel of the pack. Fortunately, I have a few other legacy Osprey 34 and 36 packs, so I'll live, but this is a disappointment.

Fantastic load bearing pack!
2 years ago
Purchased this as a newb who has been using an older pack that was killing my shoulders. I loaded snacks, layers, 3 litre bladder, 1 litre bottle, knife, whistle, power banks... All the same stuff in my old bag and it was like the weight wasn't even there. I'm 5'9" and 250 pounds, and this fits me well. I'd prefer a different arrangement of the pockets, with perhaps an internally zippable pouch for keys/wallet, and the zippers I'm the little hip pouches are not functional when you're wearing the lack, it's impossible to close without taking the pack off. Otherwise I couldn't be happier with this purchase.. longevity remains to be see. :)

Just completed the Alta Via 2 across the Dolomites carrying my new Stratos 36 - 179km and many climbs - an excellent backpack for my 14 stage hike 🥾

The pack’s suspension is a standout — I carried almost 40 pounds in it without problem. It’s built to maximize vertical storage, which is great for carrying. Good storage, great airflow and durable materials. Can’t recommend enough.

Great for multi-day
1 month ago
I have happily used this for multi-day summer hikes with tent, including Snowdonia Way, Arran Way and Hebridean Way. It's relatively heavy, but a) frame means excellent weight-shift to hips, b) airflow to back, and c) robust. Tent sits very conveniently in bottom compartment. I haven't carried stove on these hikes, and generally haven't required more than 1 day's water or 2 days' food. Excellent for this use, but likely too small for hikes requiring you to carry a lot of food/water and/or cold-weather gear. Highly recommended.

Excellent for summer backpacking
1 year ago
Had it for a couple of years. I use it for summer backpacking in the UK, with one-man tent (though I don't carry stove or major food). Perfectly big enough for this use if your kit packs down reasonably small. My total carry weight including worn and water is around 11kg. The pack is heavy at 1.7kg, certainly: but I think the robust build, the carry comfort and the blissful vented back are probably worth the weight versus ultralight alternatives. Thanks Osprey!
