Osprey Stratos 24 Backpack

Slimmed down, but just as light as its larger counterparts, the Stratos 24 is a tough pack with a light and ventilated carry thanks to its AirSpeed suspension system and sustainable materials. Its panel-loading convenience works in tandem with an internal organisation which makes it perfect for shorter, lightweight day hikes on rough and tumble trails, no matter the weather.

Designed for all-day comfort when hiking in the hills, the Stratos 24 features a fully adjustable AirSpeed ventilated back system whilst still giving enough room for spare clothing, food and the essential kit. Constructed using tough, durable Nylon fabrics, the backpack is built to last. As well as this, a rain cover that is included with the pack is ideal for when you get caught out in heavier rain. This fabric, although thick and durable, is very lightweight so that you barely feel like you are wearing the pack.

An AirSpeed suspension system works to excellently transfer weight for a more comfortable and lightweight feel. This injection-moulded suspension system with 3D-tensioned mesh provides superior ventilation even on the hottest hikes so that you can remain comfortable throughout the warm days. The hip belt and shoulder straps feature a die-cut foam reinforcement to provide stability, support and ventilation that flex beautifully around your body for increased comfort. The hip belt is teamed with a built-in, adjustable sternum strap to help spread the load by transferring it to these areas and away from your shoulders. Taller, wider frame geometry combines with a tailored adjustment system to extend the fit range for additional support and comfort.

The Stratos 24 features an easily accessible main compartment with a large zipped top that ensures unhindered access and easy entry for the contents of the pack. A hydration sleeve and a little clip to prevent the bladder from drooping down to the sleeve feature in this main compartment. A hose port in the back panel allows for quick and easy hydration. The pack provides storage for your trekking poles and ice axe with loops and attachment systems on the outside allowing you to stash them away safely and efficiently whilst keeping the pack on. The Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole attachment features a new soft-touch tube. The Stratos 24 also features a zipped mesh pocket with an internal key clip for safe and secure storage of items you may need to reach more quickly, two stretch mesh side pockets large enough to hold an insulating layer or a bottle, and dual zipped pockets on the hip belt. As well as this, the front of the pack features a large, zipped pocket perfect for wet clothing that you may need to access quickly if the weather takes a turn. Lastly, dual-sided compression straps pull the weight closer to your back to increase comfort and carrying efficiency. These straps also prevent your gear from moving about when the pack is not full and can be used inside or outside of the side pockets depending on your need.
