Osprey Stratos 36L Hiking Backpack

Enjoy cloudlike comfort with this exceptionally ventilated top-loading hiking pack. Offering an adjustable men's fit and spacious storage, the Stratos 36 lends cloudlike comfort to day hikes and short overnights.

Crafted with 210D recycled nylon, the Stratos 36L backpack is highly reliable for day hikes and overnight adventures. The material is durable against possible snags and is bluesign® approved, providing long-lasting sustainability. With a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish added, rain and poor weather are effectively blocked from entering time and time again. While the finish will protect you from light rain, be prepared for heavy downpours, with a waterproof rain cover included in the bottom pocket of the bag; slip it on for effective waterproofing. To protect your back and shoulders, Airspeed Suspension has been utilised with the back panel, where a mesh trampoline has been added to cushion the back but still allow great air circulation between you and the backpack. Paired with a LightWire peripheral frame, the mesh has tension applied to it for better support no matter the weight. The built-in harness allows you to personalise the fit for optimal comfortability, offering better support when carrying heavy weights. The harness consists of padded and breathable shoulder straps designed with spacer mesh to keep air circulating. On the back panel, the harness has a ladder lock system, giving you a couple inches of vertical adjustability, alongside load lifters located at the top of the bag to shift where the load weight sits. To clip the back harness together is a sternum strap with magnetic closure, a safety whistle and a magnetic bite valve attachment and a mesh-covered Hipbelt with padding to support heavy loads and promote stability with a Crossbody ErgoPull system to ensure a snug fit for optimal load transfer that features large pockets to store snacks and belongings.

The backpack has one large main compartment that you can access through the top. The bag has a cinch closure and top lid for max protection, within the top lid is an underlid zip pocket for small essentials and valuables with a key clip to prevent panic caused by missing keys after a long hike. Within the main back zip pocket of the pack is an internal sleeve for a hydration system; you can easily slip a hydration system in and thread it out with a hose routing port and hydraclip for simple hydration. In the base of the bag is another compartment that can be accessed from a zip along the bottom to separate belongings with ease, this pocket can be compressed down when not in use to free up space. A large vertical zip-stash pocket has been added to the front of the pack, allowing you to put in or retrieve extra layers with ease. Down either side of the bag are two stretch pockets for water bottles, which are within reach without removing the bag and losing momentum. When packed up, easily pull the upper and lower side straps to compress the load for bounce free wear. Exterior storage points have been added to make the most out of this backpack, with multiple lash loops alongside stow-on-the-go trekking pole attachments on either strap for better accessibility and an Ice tool loop with bungee tie-off.
