Stratos 34L

Laughs in 34 or 42 L. Enjoy the pack. It's fine. It's light, right? A marginal amount of extra bulk isn't that big a deal. Did you load all the stuff you mentioned for the picture? Granted, everyone lies a bit about backpack volume but I think somewhere in the 20's is perfect for day hiking. If it's

I’ve used the Stratos 34L on several Caminos over the last 10 years. I purchased mine in 2015. The style has slightly changed, but it is an awesome pack! Never had a problem with it as a carry-on either.The other pack I have used on Caminos is the Osprey Hikelite 32L. It’s also a great pack, but the

Im on day 4 of my Frances journey I drove from La Coruña to SAN Sebastian then Bayonne andSJPP as per your plan, travelled on a saturday and all public transport ran like clockwork. got to SJPP late afternoon, slept and walked to Roncesvalles the next day, as someone said above, the elevation is a k

I love my Osprey Stratos 34. It's a bit big in the summer but when I start getting into layers and maybe microspikes it's perfect. Definitely try it on though: some people find them too narrow.

I (65M, 150 lbs) will be using a Osprey Stratos 34 on the Frances in June-July. My wife (65F, 96 lbs) will be carrying a Sirrus 24.

Where in the PNW?? Given outdoor education I think you're going to want something on the larger/burlier side. I love my Osprey Stratos 34. You can buy rain covers wherever. They're not very specific to packs. The Stratos, at least mine, does come with one though. Worth mentioning that the higher loa

Osprey Stratos 34L. Plenty of room. Could go smaller.

Kinda shocked by the answers here tbh. I feel like most ppl are trying to make you feel better rather than actually helping you. Im in the middle of my camino atm. Ive been paying attention to everyone’s backpack throughout the way because im a backpack nerd and most (more than 80%) of folks’ daypac

Maybe. OP didn't say which 34l Osprey pack he has. The stratos 34 and manta 34 both weigh more than the teton oasis 22. Also the Ospreys 3-4 times the price. However you get top quality and probably better zippers with the Osprey which is what I don't like about mine. I wasn't telling OP which bag t

Osprey should have some notes on what torso length they'll fit. That's one of the differences. The other is that the straps on the Sirrus most likely have a more pronounced curve. Honestly that's not supposed to make that much of a difference for men. So I think you should figure out your torso leng
