AirSpeed™

The Osprey AirSpeed™ carrying system combines incredible comfort with optimum ventilation - ideal for sweaty hikes on hot days. A stretch mesh fabric creates space between the back and the rucksack, allowing air to circulate freely. The lightweight structure ensures stable load distribution without restricting freedom of movement. So your back stays pleasantly dry, even when the going gets tough.

BioStretch

The Osprey BioStretch is a flexible strap system specially designed to give freedom of movement and comfort. The straps and waist belt are made from an elastic, breathable material that adapts well to the body, making it perfect for dynamic activities such as hiking, trail running or climbing. At the same time, the perforated design ensures good ventilation and prevents heat build-up on the shoulders and hips.
,

LightWire™

The Osprey LightWire™ carrying system combines a super-lightweight but sturdy aluminium frame with efficient weight distribution from the shoulders to the hips. This makes the rucksack comfortable even on long hikes, with noticeable relief and more freedom of movement. In combination with ventilation systems on the back, LightWire™ also ensures good air circulation on the back.

without PFAS

This product does not contain PFAS (perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) - in other words, it does not contain those chemical substances that can accumulate in the environment and the body. Instead, ecological alternatives are used that offer reliable protection without harming people or nature.
Hydration system Many rucksacks are compatible with hydration packs. These are stored in a separate compartment next to the back, while the tube passes through an opening to the outside. This means you can easily drink through a mouthpiece without taking off your rucksack. The hydration pouch is usually not included, but can be bought separately, is easy to clean and reusable - ideal for outdoor activities.
