Nemo persist 30 or Osprey tempest 30?
1 month ago
For the past 4 years, my Osprey Tempest 30/33 has been my go-to adventure pack for anything over 12 miles or more than 4,000ft of vert. I’ve been hesitant to try a new bag because frankly, I don’t think any top the Osprey tempest/talon family. However, I’d say this bag gives Osprey a run for its money. Entry point: both bags are top loading, which is my preferred style for any extended daypack. Both have smaller pockets on the outside of the brain while the Osprey has an additional mesh pocket on the underside of the brain (which I love). The Persist however has a zipper that zips down the entire pack, which is *super* handy for diggings things out. The Tempest however allows you to carry ropes or a sleeping pad more easily because the brain hinges and buckles to open/close rather than zipping all the way around. Pockets: the Persist has a generous hip belt pocket that accommodates modern smartphones and a stowaway pocket on the other side that fits a Nalgene. Also love the addition of shoulder strap pockets that are easily large enough for big pairs of sunglasses, inReaches, or snacks! Both of these are wonderful. 2 water bottle pockets, a brain pocket, large main cavity, and small separated pocket on the front of the pack allow for plenty of organization. The Osprey is pretty similar with regard to pockets, but I love the mesh stash-all pocket on the front of the pack, I WISH Nemo had included something like that. Both possess well-ventilated and comfortable back panels with a solid range of adjustment when it comes to torso length. The Tempest comes in specific sizes while the Persist is a one size fits all with a very adjustable back panel, I haven’t had any issues with fit. Comfort: for heavier loads, the Persist wins. The internal steel frame disperses weight evenly and the hip belt, shoulder straps, and back panel have thicker foam to account for heavier loads. That said, I still think the Tempest holds its own when it comes to weight and works incredibly well for most backcountry applications. Durability: I have not used the Persist long enough to encounter any issues, and have yet to get any tears or holes in my Tempest, so they’re pretty even in that regard. Both are constructed with ripstop nylon so durability really shouldn’t be an issue with either. Bladder compatibility: both are compatible. The Persist definitely makes it easier to pop you bladder into a mesh pocket in the main cavity while the Tempest requires you to shimmy it in between the back panel and main cavity. I know the Tempest design bother some but as long as you fill the bladder first and shimmy it into the pocket before you fill the pack with other gear, it’s not an issue. Size: in my opinion, the tempest can fit a LOT more gear than the persist despite the fact that they are both marketed as 30L packs. Other considerations: the Tempest shoulder straps are compatible with the Peak Designs camera mount while the Persist is technically compatible, but it requires you to secure the mount in a different way that feels a little less secure since the shoulder straps are slightly bulkier. Aesthetics: I personally prefer the look of the tempest due to the variation in materiality, but of course this is very subjective. TLDR: the packs are very comparable to one another, both are thoughtfully designed and well constructed with sustainable practices in mind. The NEMO Persist wins out in terms of comfort, ability to carry heavy loads, and hip/shoulder strap pockets while the Osprey Tempest takes the cake for overall versatility due to its mesh pockets and ability to carry more gear (and a lower price tag). I’d recommend either, just comes down to personal preference.

Very comfortable and functional pockets!

I bought this for camping and day hikes. This is by far the most comfortable day pack I've owned. It reeks of quality with the zippers and materials used. The 30L is a bit big for just day hikes but it compresses nicely with the side straps and it allows me to travel with it on the plane and then use it at my destination. Comparing it to some of the competitors, I like that I can easily fit an iPhone max with case easily in the hip belt. I could not do this on other bags. I was also able to attach my Peak Design Capture clip in a vertical orientation on the gear loop on the shoulder strap to avoid crushing the strap itself. For those that are curious the strap is a little too wide to use horizontal orientation for a Peak Design Capture Clip. Other standout items are the side pockets keeping and retaining my water bottles and the little touch where the fabric lets light in so I can see inside of my pack when I'm digging around the interior compartment. Things I wished were a little different were the bladder hanging point. I must use a mini carabiner to attach my Gregory bladder. I wish there was another interior pocket for little items but understand that it's a non-issue if I use other packing cubes/bags. Initial water tests show it's very repellant so it should stand up to any unexpected weather while on the trail. If rain is in the forecast, I'll be packing a cover though. Finally, the I really enjoy the new hip belt. It’s flexible and with it buckling off center it’s very comfortable for long term wear. It would be nice if there was a way to pack the hip straps out of the way or remove when not on the trail but it’s a minor issue.
