OspreyTempest 34L Women's Hiking Backpack with Hipbelt, Jasper Green, Medium/Large

I had heard that Osprey backpacks are good quality and I have wanted one for a while. I finally pulled the trigger on this 34L Tempest and the 30L also to evaluate which one fits the gear I need to carry. I am 5'1" and have a small frame, and the WXS/S fits well. There are plenty of adjustment points that allow me to dial in the fit. I foresee making on-the-trail adjustments for comfort, but that's a plus in my opinion. As others have mentioned, the water bottle pockets are not accessible while wearing the pack. That's not a deal-breaker for me because I will use a water bladder on long hikes, and primarily use a water bottle for air-travel. I think as long as I don't over-stuff the pack, it will work great as a carry-on bag. I plan to use it with a camera insert to double as a camera bag and carry enough personal items for an overnight trip. Oh, and I think the color is much prettier in person than in the photos.

The bag is authentic and has all the features, making it very comfortable to carry.

I love this backpack, I used to have a Kyte Osprey that I treasured for years but unfortunately I left it behind when I made the big move to another state. I fell in love with the design of this backpack, it feels so comfortable, sturdy and light - fits me perfectly. The color is beautiful and the material is durable.I highly recommend this backpack especially for avid hikers and backpackers.

We are hiking in a the Highlands of Scotland. I’ve never used a hiking backpack before. This one fits my back nicely and distributes the weight well enough that my shoulders don’t get sore.

Perfect for an 8+hr day hike if you also get the 3.0L water bladder. This pack will hold all you could need for a day & your camera gear as well.
