I’ve had the Tempest 20L for quite some time and was looking to try something new. I’ve always been a fan of Osprey. They fit and carry well, quite comfortable for me. The Tempest Velocity is quite different. I find there’s way too many large straps and there is no need for a double strap across the chest. It has all the familiar features- plenty of convenient pockets but too many larger straps. I just couldn’t get used to it. Back to the original Tempest.
I was looking for a unicorn outdoor backpack for short torsos with vest pockets, hip belts, hiking pole attachments, bladder compatible, front stash pocket, and a cute colorway. This fit the bill. I took it through Glacier National Park Trails, Sea to Sky Summit, and Banff and it still looks like new. I have a large bust and was worried about the vest fit, it turned out fine. 18L was perfect for the longer day hikes I did.
