Review on Osprey Levity Parallax: Sleek Silver Black Backpack by Bryan Reed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ultra light and comfortable in high temperatures

for you. Please note that this rating is for the Levity 45 model, which is made of ultra-light materials and weighs only 0.81 kg. It's rated for loads up to 25 pounds (9 kg), so be careful if you have a heavier base weight. You can save less for food, water and fuel. This is probably best for single night rides or if you have a lighter base weight. The materials are very light, but at the same time appear very durable and of high quality. The fully weighted backpack is still comfortable over long distances. The frame is strong but also very light and offers good ventilation on the back. The general build quality is in line with other Osprey packs I've used and it's very high quality. I might choose this for the more strenuous high temperature hikes where I want my weight to be as light as possible, but maybe you have more room to refill water along the way.

Pros
  • 3.5mm thick internal Lightwire frame and 3D mesh back provide a comfortable feel with side ventilation
Cons
