Great day backpack

Great so far. Plenty of pockets and easy access to compartments. High quality materials. Adjustable harness is a nice feature and helps a lot with fitting.

Bladder failed bag is great
Archy1012 years ago
The bag is great works perfect for an archaeological dig. The included bladder failed on day 2 by developing small holes near the closure on the bladder. Don’t want to send entire bag back but I thought no problem I’ll just email rei and they’ll send me a new one for the old one back. Rei emails me back to call them?? A. Why? B. I’m in a dig site I’m not spending time on the phone for a 30 dollar product. So minus 3 stars for bag failure and less than stellar service from REI. The bag itself is top notch however.

SUPER COMFORTABLE (even when loaded)
1 year ago
I needed an all-day 14er pack, and this is the one! 1.The ventilated AirSpeed back suspension is plush. 2.The hipbelt with is padded and comfortable, even with a load (and has pockets, too). 3.The torso length is easily adjustable and takes about 20 seconds. 4.I don't use hydro bladders, preferring instead to carry 1 liter Nalgene bottles.The bottle sleeves are well designed with an option to carry them at a 45 degree angle, which makes for easy accessibility without removing the pack. (For you oldsters out there, my previous favorite pack was a 65L Dana Designs pack I bought back in the 90's. The Osprey Manta 34 is my new favorite) pack!)

Stellar pack as was my
3 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stellar pack as was my Manta 36 - with some notable changes and improvements. E. g. , - Instead of the mesh basket in the main compartment, the front compartment is larger with a zippered compartment. Works VERY well (the mesh basket in the large compartment did not hold things all that well). - Hip belt clip is larger, which is good - Chest clip is different, addressing the challenge that the old type was prone to breaking. We'll see how this one hold up. - Adjustability of pack seems better, though might just be that I had my Manta 36 for so long that I don't remember adjusting it to get it right! Thank you Osprey for being awesome!

Fantastic Quality Backpack

Fantastic bag, you get what you pay for every detail is well designed. I am able to get my gear into this bag for a 3-4 day trip in warm weather conditions. Fits as an overhead easily if you are taking a flight. the cost is high because this bag is top quality and have a sturdy lightweight frame with a breathable backing (my favorite osprey design).

I purchased my Manta-34 about 4 years ago and have logger over 300 miles on it under harsh desert conditions with no issues. (NOTE: Proper cleaning following Osprey instructions is required to keep zippers and straps operating smoothly) I upgraded to a 3.0 liter Camelbak Military bladder system ($54.00) as I prefer the bite valve system with a hose mounted shut off valve and insulated hose. My typical loadout is 25#-30# as I carry 2-20 Oz water bottles, trauma medical gear, and reserve equipment for less prepared people. I am ordering a new Manta-34 for my son when I finish this review.

Comfortable, even when loaded up.
2 years ago
Took this pack out for a couple of long day hikes and it is so comfortable. It does take some messing around withbits adjustability, but one I found the sweet spot, it became a perfect fit for me. I was looking for a larger daypack with a stand off mesh style back and this fit the bill. It is on the pricey side, but it is worth it to me when compared to the cheep pack I upgraded from.

Great Pack but with a weak point
1 year ago
Great backpack overall, but the bite valve on the hydration pack is poorly designed. It leaks heavily if left unlocked and the locking mechanism itself is thin, brittle plastic and broke on my six or seventh day trip. A replacement bite valve will run you $9 and, at this rate, I expect to go through about 3 or 4 of these over the life of the pack, so factor another $30-$40 for replacement parts.
No, I do not recommend this product

I love this pack. Used it hiking 430 miles over 31 days. The fit is awesome and I really appreciated this after walking all day. It fits like a glove, hugging your body (probably the best point). The straps are well padded and comfortable, and I love the air speed suspension system it kept my back dry all day. The pockets provided are easy access and the zips super strong. The water bladder is great to use, I only wish the mouth piece came with a cover. The main down-side of this pack is that it won't sit upright by itself when I put it down. It always topples over so I had to lean it against something to pack it or access it which was annoying. Otherwise I would recommend this pack to anyone.

A Great Pack That Will Probably Outlast Me
7 months ago
I bought this pack over a year ago. Since then, I've taken it along on weekly day hikes. It's also been with me on longer car camping trips to 2 National Parks and two State Parks. After having some time to really spend using it, I've gotta say that overall, I really love it! The Great: I think that it's probably virtually indestructible. There's a good chance that I'll end up leaving it to someone in my will. Since the fit is so customizable, it's super comfortable to wear and even when full, I barely feel it. It's also large enough to fit a First Aid Kit, emergency blankets, 2 extra layers each for me and my wife, 2 sets of Micro Spikes, a days worth of trail snacks, bug spray, head lamps, extra hats, gloves and multi tool. I'm probably forgetting something and I could honestly squeeze in even more stuff if I had to. All the different pockets and compartments make it really easy to keep things organized, and there's room for plenty of water between the included bladder and the stretchy side pockets. It's also easy to attach my trekking poles, and the built-in rain cover is a great bonus. The Not So Great: I admit it's a short list, but there's a few things I would change if I could. I had high hopes that the airspeed suspension would completely cure my "sweaty back" situation. While it does help, and I can sometimes feel a breeze through the mesh, my back will still feel swampy when I take my pack off during rest breaks. Also, as others have said, the zippers on the hip pockets can be tough to get to while the pack is on. They're also not big enough to fit a large modern smartphone, so keep that in mind. Lastly, the main compartment is tall and narrow, so if I've got something bulky in one of the other compartments, it can be tough to fill the pack or get to certain items. None of these things have kept me from loving this backpack, but I'm mentioning them in case they are deal-breakers for you. I know that some people have said that it's over engineered for a day pack to the point of overkill. I do get that. But for me, that's part of what makes it so great. I've really loved carrying it and will probably continue to do so for many years to come. Happy Hiking!
