There are better choices out there
I bought this pack for climbing day trips. It is about the right size for this, but it has some drawbacks. Most importantly, if the pack is not absolutely full, and especially if you are not using an Osprey hydration system, the pack bends in the middle, making it awkward to carry. It does NOT have a frame! As another reviewer pointed out, the straps are too long. This is also a problem on one of my other Osprey packs. The color is ugly. The pack lacks external daisy chains, which many climbing packs have, making it easy to strap your helmet and various other things to the outside of the pack. The plastic belt buckle broke on mine. Other than that, it is a sturdy pack, and Osprey's support is hard to beat...
light, comfortably and well designed
very light but seems durable, well designed without unnecesary features. I only didn't like two things: - hip belt straps that are reversed on a buckle and go back to hip belt, this makes straps too long and you can't really cut them off - same strap system on the hood packet These reverse strap systems make adjusting difficult.
