Not what I hoped it would be
Northstar3 years ago
In 2016 I thru hiked the Appalachian Trail using the then version of the Exos 58. It was a great pack for the trip. Despite not having an adjustable harness at that time, it fit me well. I was very happy with it. When I saw the new Exos 58 in April, I bought one to replace my old one. I had high hopes for it given my previous experience. I used the new Exos for a 50 miler on the AT in NY and CT last week. While it is admirable to add an adjustable harness to the pack, this design allows for a ton of movement of the pack load. The plastic ladder in the backpanel that accommodates the plastic harness adjustment clips, slip against eachother creating load movement. This coupled with the sliding connection of the outside of the harness to the frame, adds to the shifting of the load as well as a pretty constant swishing noise as you walk. I would suggest addressing this in future iterations of this pack for less movement and sound. This new Exos version addresses the missing hip belt pockets in the previous version by adding a pocket on each side. While the zippers are a bit of a challenge to open and close with one hand, the pockets are large enough and useful. The hip belt padded area has also been lengthened making it more comfortable. The brain of the pack is still removeable but the top flap that is used when the brain is removed is smaller than older versions making for a tight closure. If I had a very full load, or was carrying a bear can inside, I'd be concerned that the top flap would be too small to fully close the pack. The overall weight of this pack has crept up from previous versions as well. As a big fan of Osprey and the Exos in particular, I'm disappointed with the new Exos 58 and will likely return it. However, if load movement and noise dont bother you, it is a high quality pack that appears durable and worthy as a candidate for your longer backpacking adventures.

Excellent ultralight pack
11 months ago
My buddy and I enjoyed testing our new Exos 58s during our 2-day trip to Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. Fully loaded, my pack weighted in at 35lbs. Pros: The Exos was so incredibly light and had plenty of room to take for our weekend trip. There was minimal shifting during climbing or tough obstacles. Front stretch exterior pocket was large enough for a rain jacket and fly cover. Cons: The strapping system took a while to get used to and we both missed having access to the bottom of the pack from the exterior. I had some shifting of gear towards the top of the pack when I leaned forward to far. My friend had a hard time retrieving his insulated 32oz canteen without assistance. Final verdict: Highly recommend this pack if you are looking for a light, comfortable backpack that has adjustable torso harness!

Lightweight with comfortable frame!

This pack is AWESOME! I just got into backpacking at age 45 and did 3 days on the AT recently in NJ. Pack load out was ~36 lbs with two full one liter life water bottles in side pockets and 2 person tent packed horizontally in bottom of pack. I feel like this is the very upper limit of comfort for me. Barry and Steffi at the Paramus, NJ REI fit me up and I could not have been happier with this buy. Member discount during May sale was great and helped me justify the purchase in case I decided I hated backpacking. As it turns out, this pack was really comfortable considering the weight I was carrying (looking to go lighter with future trips). Complaints I read about hip belt I never found to be an issue. Outer mesh great for stuffing extra stuff (camp shoes, water filter, water bottles, camp chair). Brain fit SO MUCH GEAR I was shocked! Nice feature in brain is underneath mesh pocket with a red clip for keys. Hip belt pockets perfect for some chapstick, sunscreen stick, small multitool, some bug repellent wipes, Gatorade packs, lighter and tissues. Airflow between spine and pack is legit! Absolutely love this pack and can’t wait to use it again on trail. Works well with REI shoulder holster for cell phone.

Great pack! Makes a heavy load feel light.

I used this pack for 3 day trip in Yosemite and it was great! The pack carries a 30+ load very well and breaths well along your back. I had the previous version of this pack which did not have side belt pockets. I got this one because it has side belt pockets, which I prefer have on any pack. The side belt pockets are not the best, typically you have use two hands to zip closed. But, for me this is better than no side pockets. My only issue with this pack and why I can't give 5 stars, is the brain is removable but only has quick disconnects on the front of brain, the former version had quick disconnects at all 4 points on the brain vs. 2 of 4 on this version.

Manufacturing Defect

Waited for the release of this pack for awhile, and since my purchase I have used it on several multi day backpacking treks. Pack felt great until my recent trek where a felt a pinch on my left shoulder. After talking w my local gear shop, it’s apparent that Osprey has a major issue w the frame. So far only the Grey model appears to be affected. There were 3-4 packs waiting to be returned. The frames are not true rectangles and do not sit right when loaded. I inspected my pack and found my frame to be true but the Airspeep back panel is skewed by almost an inch!!!! This is the 5th Grey Exos 58 pack I know of to be defective. I really like this pack and want it to be my rig for the AT2023 but I can’t trust Osprey anymore. Exchanging or returning, not sure yet but Gregory and LiteAF are now top of my list

For years I have enjoyed my Atmos 65, but I decided it was time to try something lighter. I was nervous about what I read about the downside of lighter backpacks, so I wasn't prepared to go all ultralight, which made the Exos a great middle ground. All I can say is I wish I had made the switch long ago. I just returned from a 43-mile trip in Mineral King, and the Exos worked like a dream. I used to get a sharp pain between the shoulder blades which intensified with each day of a backpacking trip, but this time there was none of that. I do miss the handy side-pockets of the Atmos, and the separate compartment for my sleeping bag, but I adapted quickly, and the trade-off was more than worth it. I love this pack.

Best Pack I’ve had so far
1 year ago
Got this after using an Atmos AG 65 for several years mostly to cut down on pack weight. To my surprise it also actually holds more in the pack itself than the 65 liter! How can this be? Well, they don’t consider open pockets in the sizing only closed ones and the large version of this pack is closer to 61 liters. So I’m saving weight and have more room (even in the main compartment in my opinion). The only reason I can’t give this 5 stars is Osprey has very awkward hip belt pockets that are almost impossible to zip and they don’t hold much. I’ve also just compared this pack to the Gregory Focal and REI’s Flash 55 which I’m sending back. The Osprey Exos 58 just fits better on me, has more room, has better breathability, and seems to hold my gear easier for longer trips.

My Favorite Backpack

I've tried a lot of different backpacks over the years from REI, Deuter, and Gregory. The most comfortable ended up being my Gregory Paragon 68. However, I wanted something lighter so I bought the Exos 58 and just finished a 4 day 35+ mile trip out of Mineral King in the Southern Sierras. Not only is the Exos 58 lighter, but it is the most comfortable backpack I have ever used. It carried the load well on the hips, had no sore spots, had great back ventilation, and is very lightweight even close to ultralight territory (being a framed pack)..

Check For Defect B4 Purchasing

I really want to love this pack. It has everything going for it but with one major flaw! There seems to be a manufacturing issue w the shoulder strap attachment points to the back panel being uneven. My local gear shop brought this to my attention as they have several awaiting warranty returns. Check to make sure your frame is a true rectangle. Some pack frames are skewed (one top corner is higher than the other). Also check your strap attachment points. My frame is true but my back panel strap attachments are off by an inch!! This causes my pack to sit unevenly when loaded and is punching my left shoulder. It's a great pack of its legitimately made. I would only recommend it if this issues are resolved.
