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

I LOVE this backpack. Not only did I get compliments on the style and color (which made me laugh because in a few months from hiking it was going to be so muddy that color wouldn't matter), but it performed surprisingly well on my desert hikes held. I use it to carry camera gear and can say that it's a good camera backpack for DSLR users who want to hike with a lot of gear. Camera equipment must be stowed in protective cases as the backpack does not contain padding, but the internal frame helps support the weight of the camera. It will be a great everyday backpack. There is room for a 3 liter bladder (I use an Osprey bladder but any brand will do) and additional water pockets in the side pockets. The side pockets are also good for extra gear (I used one for a tripod). Small zipped inner compartment for valuables and car keys with key hook and plenty of room inside for all day gear. You can even store a jacket there if you need it. The torso length is not adjustable, so make sure you choose the right size for you. I ended up going for medium as I prefer to carry the weight of my gear lower on my hips. My torso is 17.25 inches for walking. I could use the SM and it would probably work just as well with a slightly different weight distribution. Overall I like the backpack and will use it for as long as it lasts, which I expect to be a very long time.
