Stratos 34L

Love my Osprey Stratos 34. Even my Osprey Syncro 20 has a trampoline back. The usual ridged foam approach is better than nothing but I don't think it works very well. There's no airflow to take your sweat away. Yes, the wire required for a trampoline back to work makes a stiffer, heavier backpack. I

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

Love my Osprey Stratos 34. I used it for something probably a bit more supported and it was awesome. It also comes in a Women's, the Sirrus, and the Manta/Mirra are pretty similar but with a hydration pack right out of the box. The frame doesn't work for everyone so your daughter should buy in perso

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

34-38L is what I've seen the most out here. Don't go bigger than that. (I'm on day 24 out of 28 days so far and I've got a 34L, with some room to spare). Bag: Osprey Stratos 34. EXTREMELY well made I'm so impressed. Shoes: light and fluffy. Hoka Speedgoats for me. Half a size bigger than normal.

Love my Osprey Stratos 34. Based on that, either the Stratos or Manta 24. Same suspension, one of them comes with a hydration bladder. I like my REI Flash 22 way better than I thought I would. The Osprey Talon 22 is incredibly popular. They have different attitudes about structure and support and I

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. It's not just about volume. Again, especially when layers and any metallic gear get into the picture, a go

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. I will be carrying most of the shared things such as laundry kit, toiletries etc. But she has room in her 24L backpack for all that. We will be carrying a fleece jacket

I have an Osprey Stratos 34. Loved having a more serious frame for the hut trip I got it for. From your list, that would make my pick the Hikelite. You can probably get an accessory pocket to clip on for your phone. I have something like that for a water bottle.
