Review on Osprey Tempest Womens Backpack Medium Sports & Fitness and Boating & Sailing by Robert Correa

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great day pack! about sport

*I'm female, 5'10, about 140 lbs, size S/M*This Osprey daypack was a great purchase! The straps make my hikes MUCH easier than a bag without these features. The only real downside I can find is that there aren't enough pockets inside. This is mainly a personal preference; I just like having a lot of organizational options. One of the outside pockets has a strap to secure your water bottle, but I noticed the other side pocket has the strap on the inside? Not sure if that's supposed to be the case or if it was just sewn wrong? If that has to be the case then it doesn't make sense to me. The strap on the inside of the bag forces me to only have one bag for my large 40oz double-walled thermos that I keep my ice cold water in. The waistbelt pockets are also almost useless unless you're trying to fit a pack of fruit snacks in them. While these three things are by no means a deal breaker, I had to remove a star from my rating because of them. All in all this is a great bag! I overcame it by driving three miles and was very impressed! With my old bag my back and shoulders hurt when we were halfway through the trail (I'm usually a bit overwhelmed but I prefer to be prepared). I did feel some pressure with this bag but was able to continue the hike with no problem! I definitely recommend this bag for day trips! PS - I also carried this bag while riding my motorbike and could hardly tell it was there; especially with my body armor!
