Osprey  Sirrus 36 Pack - Women's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tested out the Sirrus 36 for the first time in the Moosehead Lake Region in Maine. This pack is great for any type of hike from a short day hike to a long trek and beyond. It's very comfortable and sits well on the shoulders. The weight distribution is great and it is very easy to adjust as you're moving. It is very easy to secure your trekking poles and you'll be checking to see if they fell out because you don't notice them - don't worry, they're still there. Absolutely great pack for all types of hiking and treks. However, this pack truly shines on moderate-hard trails that require some climbing and meneuvering. You have to try it.

I'm somewhat heartsick I can't keep this pack. I love the zippered compartments...easy access and also very tidy and contained. I LOVE the sage color! I will buy this pack as soon as you create it with the old system of S/M & M/L suspension systems. As a 5'0"" woman I just don't ever fit anything created to be one-size-fits-all! When I put it on, I can't put my head back to look up &, frankly, it just looks ridiculous. I understand that making only one pack sizing system is cost effective, but for anyone who is vertically-challenged, it just doesn't work. Please redo it...and keep the great color! I would recommend this to anyone who is over 5'5"".

I had an older SIrrus 36 pack that was sized, rather than one-size-adjustable. I LOVED that pack and wore it out. Very comfortable, fit great. I wanted to love this pack. I am tall but have a short torso, so I have to adjust the pack for a shorter back. That leaves the top of the pack riding too high on my neck. I can't comfortably wear a brimmed hat with the pack (I look up and the hat gets knocked down into my eyes, which is not comfortable or safe). Ones size fits all doesn't work for people at the shorter end of the size range. PLEASE bring back the excellent SIZED Sirrus packs you used to have. It was a great product.

I bought my Sirrus 36 to walk the Camino Portuguese. It was just right, and I really love it. It fitted everything I needed (no tent), I carried about 8kg. It was always comfortable and I’m not a particularly strong person; I was able to adjust the frame to fit me well. The pocket layout was very good, I could always find the things I needed easily. Although we didn’t have heavy rain, I used the waterproof cover for showers often, and everything stayed very dry. I love the design. All of the clips and zips feel so nice to use. My husband will be buying the Stratus for our next trip.

I really loved my Sirrus 36 (teal colour) for a recent multi-week walk on the Camino, it was my favourite piece of kit, fitted perfectly with no shoulder or other pain, while some others on the trail seemed to ache or hate their pack after a time. Literally only downsides are hip pockets are on the smaller side so useful for sunscreen and tissues but not phone but plenty of alt pockets and options, and the white straps will eventually not look as white as they do now.

I purchased this rucksack for general hillwalking. There is ample room for winter walking gear including crampons and ice axe. The fit of the rucksack is excellent, making for a comfortable carry. My only gripe is that the size of the pockets on the waist belt are too small! It’s a struggle to fit a compass and a folded A4 poly pocket containing a printed map into one. Love the colour and the rain cover seems very secure even in quite windy conditions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It looks modern, the colour is perfect, the dirt won’t show easily. It fits my body perfectly and I love that the weight falls on the hips. I also love the multiple openings and how much the pack can hold!

I’m currently training for a Camino in May. Bought a bag each for myself and a friend and they are great. Can adjust everything so it fits so well.
