Review on πŸŽ’ Men's Hiking Backpack - Osprey Stratos 34 by Randy Albright

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I highly recommend the Stratos line.

Since I bought this pack I've done 2-3 day hikes and 1 day hike with it. After setting it up, I'm very happy with it. The mesh back panel makes a big difference in how much your back sweats. My previous pack had a solid back and the sweat from my back soaked my t-shirt. The first day I went with this backpack was a hot summer day. I could feel the air rushing past my back, keeping me cool with very little sweat that day. The next two trips took place in cooler weather in the mountains around Ponca, Arkansas. The weather was in the 50's. I could still feel the air rushing down my back. No back sweating. I like the aerodynamic suspension. The only thing I regret is that I want to buy a Stratos 50. I like to take a lot with me. I carried extra bulky clothes on cool trips and they take up a lot of space in this backpack. No fault of this package. In warm weather it's ok, but in cool weather there's little space in my opinion.

Pros
  • Durable workmanship
Cons
  • Frequency
